Definitive Washington DC visit thread

[tehzachatak]

I really need to get over to Right Proper. It looks like they are doing some great things.

Food was very good and remarkably cheap. The barrel aged grisette they had on was OK, but nothing special.

When I click on each style, I get nothing. Maybe it's the ****** browser at work (IE). What happens when you click each style?

I get drop downs that show all the beers. Definitely is an IE problem. Im using chrome.

My old man and I will be at Savor. We've gone the last 4 years and have had a blast each time. Still trying to decide what Salon to do.

I've got reservations at Partisan lined up for early April when friends come in to visit. Dying to dig into that Pigs Head. Definitely some good beers on that list too.

Churchkey is one of the best beer bars ever, not just in DC. I lived about a 6 min walk from it when I lived in DC and wasn't til I moved out to the West Coast that I realized how fantastic it was. DC is a great beer city.

Totally agree with this ^ (except the WC stuff)

HopCat-GR tis ok, Porter Bar is aight, but Chuchkey is an alltimer for me.

Looks like Right Proper just got in a counterpressure growler filler which makes me very happy.

Right Proper apparently is open starting at 1130 am now on Friday and Saturdays.

 

[SocalKicks]

At church key right now. Looking to pop some loons and oxbow. If anyone is around and wants some healthy pours. Hit me up. I'll be back Saturday as well most likely.

Has anyone been to Blue Jacket recently? Wondering how things are progressing their since they got rid of their 'old' headbrewer.

 

[Compton25]

Here at Churchkey for the evening if anyone wants to swing by and say hello. Probably be back here tomorrow night as well.

Not sure if anyone has been down there recently but looks like they started bottling and sales as of Friday.

Just dredged this thread up from page 8. Not a whole lot of DC action going on. That sucks.

Anyway... is anyone going to the beer/bourbon/cigar event at Jack Rose next weekend (9/20)? My wife bought me a ticket for our anniversary so I will be there (likely by myself). Would be cool to meet up with some other locals. Hit me up if you are going.

I'll be in DC for Red Bull Battlegrounds that weekend.

Had to look that up. Disappointed to find you were not competing.

 

[Beerontwowheels]

So who's hitting up Churchkey for Zwanze? I expect to be there. Not sure what time I'll be lining up though.

Best place is total wine unfortunately. Lost dog cafe has good food and beer if you want a good restaurant

Right down the road from Norm's in Vienna is a Whole Foods that has a solid selection.

Red, White, and Bleu in Falls Church usually has a couple gems. Pricey though.

Not as much since they got busted for their backroom deals

When did this go down?

 

[neorunner]

over a year ago? used to be able to buy russian river and such from their back room if they liked you. now they have a couple empty HF growlers and empty heady cans sitting on a shelf in their normal beer room as a "display"

Last night I visited Right Proper for the first time. I really enjoyed it. Had a beer with brett and lacto dry hopped with (I think) citra and galaxy that was outstanding, and the rest of what I tried was impressive too. Really nice place and chill staff as well.

What's Right Proper's rep among locals? What's their story?
