We'll be in Washington DC for week this summer for my 6th graders trip. Anyways I always like to try good beers. Anything around DC (beer-wise) that I should check out?

in the city? Capitol City Brewing for brew pub and Church Key for the biggest selection
outside the city? depends on location
out here by Dulles, we have Lost Rhino brew pub and a Dogfish Head Alehouse
also, there are several Sweetwater Taverns that brew and they make a dang tasty Black IPA

i'm not really sure of the hotel yet so I'm not sure what part of town. if it's good, I'd be willing to travel a little.

Capitol City is pretty centrally located, within walking distance of the National Mall, the White House, Verizon Center, Convention Center, Chinatown and two Metro Rail stations.
Grand Hyatt is stumble-back-to-the-hotel close

Rock Bottom is in Rosslyn, VA, right across the river and is a good choice if you're visiting Arlington National Cemetary &/or the Marine Corps Iwo Jima memorial

my son is in a leadership program so we'll either be staying at the following two hotels: Hyatt Fair Lakes or Hyatt Dulles Hotel

Hyatt Dulles... that's my 'hood
take your pick; Lost Rhino, Dogfish Head Alehouse and Sweetwater Tavern are all very close by
Hyatt Fair Lakes is not far from the same places, even closer to DFH than Dulles

a lot of decent restaurants carry Lost Rhino and I've had many of their beers, but have never been to the brewery itself.
Not kidding about that traffic! This is why I avoid Northern VA at all costs and spend my time in Charlottesville or Fredericksburg.
GrogNerd if you haven't already made it down to Central VA to Blue Mountain Brewery...do it!

will keep that one in mind!
don't know why I haven't been to Lost Rhino, it's right down the street.
I gotta put up with Verizon & AOL traffic, maybe that's why not
