"Ambitious beer startup City-State Brewing Co. unveiled its Edgewood facility right off the popular Metropolitan Branch Trail in 2021. The 13,000-square-foot microbrewery and taproom, almost six years in the making, comes from neighborhood resident and former congressional aide James Warner. The bar deals in D.C.-themed brews, such as the 8 Wards IPA, Equal Marriage hefeweizen, and the Trainspotter pub ale." - Travis Mitchell, Tierney Plumb
