I have been passing this place on the Metro for a couple years now, wondering how good it is. We finally made some time to try it last night, and we were super impressed with their beer selection, their beer taste, and the brewery as a whole. We decided to try a sampler, which is available in almost any quantity (as in, you don't have to choose a minimum or maximum number of beers to try). They have a lot of summer beers on tap right now, which means mostly lighter beers and sours (although they had one IPA, one pale, and two dark beers). I was really impressed with their Key Lime Gose: it's the perfect companion for sitting out on their patio on a nice summer evening. Their sours were also quite tasty.
They have a large inside as well as a smaller outside (get there early on nice days/nights if you want to sit on the patio, it does fill up). You order at a counter, and while there was a line, it went fast. They don't really have any food (besides a couple bar snacks), but there was a food truck there, and you can BYO almost anything (lots of people had Pizza Luce, they must deliver here regularly). They have a HUGE board game selection.
One of the best features of this place is its location. Not only is it right next to the Blue Line Metro station, but there is a giant bus hub right next door as well, with at least a half dozen bus routes stopping there. So, you will likely be able to take public transit here and away and not worry about driving. It's also close to a few bike trails.
