I got so lucky today and discovered that RFD, the bar that essentially took Brickskeller's place as best beer bar in Washington, DC, was within walking distance of my hotel. Luck? Good fortune? Kharma? I would vote yes to all 3. Needless to say, this discovery put the finishing touch on a great day in the DC area. Here's what I had at this fine establishment:
1. Flying Dog Raging Bitch - both keg and on cask. The latter was dry hopped with simcoe so naturally it was my favorite.
2. Heavy Seas Loose Cannon on cask. Smooth, hoppy and delicious.
3. New Glarus Vintage Belgian Red - last taste of this beauty from their last bottle. It was flat, but still tasted like a slightly tart slice of awesome cherry pie. Well worth the effort to get a taste of what this highly touted brewery puts out.
4. Finished up with a Bells Two Hearted Ale. Not much needs to be said about this beer. It is consistently voted #2 or #3 best beer in the country in Zymurgy's annual poll. Perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious.
What more can I can say than I am a blessed man. If only all of my road trips can be this satisfying... Cheers everyone.
