The market is getting soo flooded, not sure how 1/2 of these places are going to make it a year or two
NDBC has a some what good location and I imagine their rent is a fraction compared to the restaurants just around the corner in shirlington

none of these places are struggling. DC beer market is the exact opposite of flooded. there's so much more room for growth, but i imagine high rent/high startup costs scare people away.
well you can't compare it to Seattle, that's just not fair
what suck on that map for dc....lots of Gordon Biersch and Sweetwater
but that map is pretty cool
If 100 mile circle around DC, there are about 75 Breweries! (not brewpubs...there are about 200 of those)
