Capitol City Brewery - Washington, DC

On a business trip to the nation's capitol in the
fall of 2000, a colleague and I stopped in at the Downtown,
DC location for a refueling after many painstaking hours
of lumbering up and down museum steps. Our eyes were
aglow at the marvel of the copper vats brewing up a
fresh batch of brew. As we saddled up to the bar, I
reviewed the extensive micro-brew list.
My first endeavor was the Prohibition Porter. I
was pleasantly dark, and flavorful, with only a hint
of hops.
Amber Waves Ale was next on the list. This was mid-line
brew as far as hops and flavor go. Not a huge fan of
ambers, I only sampled the one.
After some time, destiny took its course. My tastes
being dark, full bodied stouts, I was pleased to find
the "Blackout Stout". This is the best beer they brew,
in my onion. Dark and heavy, the beer was a meal in
itself. A brief pit stop to eat some chili was I all
I needed to ensure many a stout. The stout was very
smooth and silky, and went down well. I can only imagine
that the flavor was superior to anywhere else the beer
may be consumed.
After 5 hours at the brewery, we were pretty much
done (Or that's what the bartenders lead us to believe).
So packed up our gear and headed out. I was sure to
stop by the gift counter to pick up a relic for a good
friend.
