Flying Dog’s Raging Bitch IPA…cause asking for a “raging bitch” is the most effective pick-up line ever!
Flying Dog! Raging Bitch isn’t really that bitchy.
The Citizen from DC Brau. There’s nothing else like it!
Chocolate City’s Cornerstone Cornerstone Copper Ale
district chophouse’s bourbon stout. mmmmmm.

Chocolate City’s Cornerstone Cornerstone Copper Ale
The Corruption from DC Brau. muahahaha

DC Brau’s Corruption is off the chain tasty
DC Brau’s Stone of Arbroath (especially the one they aged in bourbon barrels for their 1 year anniversary party!).

DC Brau Public!
DC Brau On The Wings of Armageddon
YOU CANT HAVE POLITICS WITHOUT CORRUPTION – DC BRAU
“The Corruption” from DC Brau because that bad ass IPA is like having a hug and a slap on the ass at the same time. For true hop heads!
DC Brau Burial at Sea. Just to be a little different!
Clipper City – Below Decks Barley Wine
DC Brau Stillwater NATAS. That shit is liquid gold.
Gotta go with The Citizen from DC Brau, I get it every Saturday at their Growler Hours.
NO CORRUPTION, NO DC…. KNOW CORRUPTION? KNOW DC (DC BRAU- THE CORRUPTION)
Port City Revival Oyster Stout. Sooooo good. And for a good cause!
Flying dog gonzo imperial porter
A friend of mine inadvertently picked up a growler filled with DC Brau’s Pumpkin Penn Quarter Porter, and that stuff was delicious. Why pumpkin beers can’t be purchased year round, I’ll always lament.
I’ve got to go with Heavy Seas’ Below Decks Barleywine
DC Brau- El Hefe Speaks. The best Hefeweizen I’ve ever had! (although I agree with the above comments about the NATAS). Damn, I need to go grab a beer now……
hands down the flyng dog imperial porter “gonzo”! the dark the better
Gimme gimme some DC Brau Citizen! Here it goes down, down into my belly!
Hardywood Singel. SO GOOD. Also their Gingerbread Stout at Christmastime. unf.
Port City’s Revival Oyster Stout was, and still is (in the tasting room) epically delicious!
Port City Porter
Lost Rhino Icebreaker
Best name: Flying Dog’s Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout (because what woman doesn’t LOVE drinking down a Pearl Necklace?!?!)
Best tasting: Flying Dog Underdog Atlantic Lager
Heavy Seas’ Loose Cannon IPA because you are what you drink…
Flying Dog’s Raging Bitch always gets the job done.
Gotta go with the Lost Rhino Icebreaker, it’s huge!
Ok so it’s only kind of local but I had it at Pi so it counts. Brooklyn Brown is fantastic.
DC Brau Corruption, of course. We are in DC, no?
Mad Fox’s Orange Whip IPA. One of the best IPA’s I’ve ever had. Big citrus, some pine and touch of caramel malt to balance. Yum!
Le Canard by Brewer’s Art in Baltimore. Looks and tastes GORGEOUS. Get it. Get it.
Flying Dog’s In-Heat Wheat
yum yum coffee stout by flying dog! yesssssss
Heavy Seas Black Cannon.
if one-offs and collaborations count – DC Brau’s Fermentation Without Representation
DC Brau – Public. Yes, they’ve come out with other beers since, but it’s still my favorite
Can we please count Richmond as local? Because in that case Legend Brown. Unicorns!!! if not Raging Bitch
DC Brau – Public – Oldie but a goodie.
my bf’s home brewed beers…. but since he doesn’t like malty beers like i do, Port City Porter is my go-to
Dig almost everything Flying Dog has done, but really love DC Brau’s Citizen.
DC BRAU THYME AFTER THYME!
HEAVY SEAS – BELOW DECKS BARLEYWINE
Flying Dog’s Imperial IPA
