"Capitol Hill beer-and-burger bars the Ugly Mug and Valor Brewpub just morphed into one place to pick Maryland blue crabs at the end of each week. Features crabs by the dozen, a Maryland-style seafood boil for two, and an all-you-can-eat option every Thursday. Normal crab-picking hours resume at noon on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through the blue crab season. New summer elixirs from the brewery crew include a 'Beers' Knees and rum punch." - Tierney Plumb
