I drank massive quantities of beer on Friday night with my intern.  Got home at 1:30 and wife was angry all weekend.  Don't remember the types of beer drunk and there might have been a shot of whiskey and teqila thrown in.
I think you meant to post this in the things smackie thinks you should know thread.

Again, you know nothing of our organization, and if you did you wouldn't be posting about it. This isn't how any of this works.

Nice... hopefully they'll let him transfer it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't.

Also, I was down at Yards Park on Friday night and Blue Jacket is now selling 750ml bottles of at least a dozen or so of their beers at reasonable prices, had a few tasty ones including their Mexican Radio and Twit.

I picked up two bottles of Twit to go after the game yesterday. Haven't tried it. Nor did I eat or drink at Arsemal (still haven't)

We did eat at Matchbox, where the highest priced beer on the menu was the 3 Stars Lemon Saison. For $8. (by comparison, an Ommegang Rare Vos was $6, a Flying Dog Raging Bitch was $5, Two Hearted was $6).

We asked about serving sizes, and the server told us "I think everything is in pints, except the 3 Stars".

Wow, local beer which is more than twice the price of out of town beers. 3 Stars must really be amazing.

I'm not sure what the chick from Girls has to do with a mediocre local brewery.

Im sure it'll involve unexplainable nudity. She probably spills beer on herself and decides to do the rest of her visit nude.

Just because you're cheap doesn't make it a mediocre brewery by the way. I'd argue that its' the best in DC. I see sixers of DC Brau for upwards of $14 a six pack in some places around the city/MD. 

Also, from what I've read, 3 Stars handles all distribution on their own which may add that extra dollar or two at whatever already overpriced bar is serving pints.

I can get better beer for cheaper. That doesn't make me cheap, it makes me smart. Every dollar saved on a beer is a dollar more in the college fund.

"Best brewery in DC".

LOL, that's like saying "So and so is the best politician in DC."
