Mad Fox Brewery

In a previous post, I had mentioned Mad Fox Brewery and that I planned on visiting.  I finally did … I made a mistake on what beer I tried at the NoVA fest (I got the name/style wrong) but I didn’t make a mistake visiting this new brew pub: here’s their link.

As soon as you walk into this place, the first thing you notice is the smell! Awesome!  You get that nice “wort” smell from a brewery … I can’t remember what they had been brewing but it was wonderful!  The bar/restaurant setup is great — loved the atmosphere.  Folks were very nice.

Was able to get myself a sampler (and a couple of more <smile>) …

Their American Pale Ale (from the cask) was wonderful.  Highly recommend that one — also, the Kolsch is nice, die weisse bier, the 80 schilling, and the Porter were all excellent as well.

Definitely worth a trip to Falls Church …

Enjoy,

#19: The Dubliner (Washington, DC) (114)

Getting closer to my magic 25 for this year … only 6 more left in 2010 … can he do it!

This place is right outside Union Station on Capitol Hill.  Here’s a couple of shots of this wonderful building (Union Station).

The Dubliner is in the bottom of this hotel … so you can have a few and then have place to stay … sweet!

The Dubliner has been serving the DC area since 1974 … and they do get it right … from the wonderful Irish Food to the great beer selection–I can see why this one is on the list!  Go ahead, give it a try!

Enjoy,
