If you didn’t know the words to “Gridiron Heroes” (the Detroit Lions’ fight song) before you walked into Ivy and Coney today, you probably do now.
Also, you’re probably drunk on the post-TD shots of Rumplemintz.

I do most of my posting on Insta these days, and that's where you'll find a "What I've been up to this week" rundown with appearances by the new Eebee's Corner Bar, a rooftop Dia de los Muertos happy hour, and my favorite pint of Guinness.

Traffic on the Douglass Bridge is insane. Sitting at a bar, watching cars inching forward while joggers and walkers go by. (Assuming this is all for Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl at Nats Park.)

At 12:01 am on Dec. 22, 2018, as what would become a 35-day shutdown began, I was sitting at the bar at Capitol Lounge, sipping a Nothing Really Mattis cocktail.
I really miss that place.

Saying farewell to the Atlas Brew Works taproom in Ivy City. I’m told the week of Oct. 20 is the target date for opening the Bridge District brewery in Anacostia.

Your reminder that Oktoberfest celebrations really begin tonight, with a lagerfest at Lost Generation, a ceremonial keg tapping at Wunder Garten, $5 beers at Atlas Brew Works, and the "Queen of Oktoberfest" performing at Dacha.

The nice thing about Henceforth’s rooftop Sunset Happy Hour is that you can get a hot dog and a house-brewed cream ale, ESB or IPA for $10. The even better thing is that it runs until 8 p.m. Wed-Sun – a nice excuse to visit the H Street brewpub on a weekend. They’ll even provide the sunscreen.

Not debuting - They’ve been doing that happy hour most of the summer. (Source: I promise you I am not there now)

Decided to do an early date night at St Vincent Wine because they had $35 bottles of wine and $7 snacks (including horseradish-caviar dip) and we had such a good time that we hung around much longer than planned.

Thursday’s DC JazzFest kickoff at Anthem Row was a laidback vibe: People lounging in chairs and on banquettes, eating ice cream, sipping wine, and listening to Langston Hughes II and Belladonna.

Not telling you who I voted for in the annual Electric Cool Aid Frozen Test, but it was really great (and refreshing) on a sweltering day!

Had @blackbeautybrewery Exotic Grail tonight, bursting with mango and candied orange and syrupy peach. It’s a Black-owned brand, brewed at Oliver in Baltimore, and this is a juicy, tropical Kiwi IPA you want on your radar.

You, a normal person: I’m going to watch the Home Run Derby and let Mike Rizzo buy me a beer!
Me, a professional journalist: I’m going to @easytigerdc to drink vodka that’s been infused with actual hot dogs since Friday as part of an early National Hot Dog Day celebration!

Had fun checking out the new backstage photo exhibit at the Atlantis, featuring Jim Saah’s stellar photos of the first 44 shows at the club last year. You get to see dressing rooms, too. Free tickets available now.

Apparently “The most Fritz #WorldPride event” is a discussion sponsored by @GermanyinUSA and @GoetheDC with former @dfb_team international Thomas Hitzlsperger about his career, coming out, and his activism after.

Annual takeaways from @thewonderlanddc Sundress Fest:
1. If you’re missing a 20-something, they’re here. And drunk.
2. Sundresses are so comfortable!
3. Why the hell don’t (most) sundresses have pockets?

Crazy to think that there could be people dancing and drinking at this massive block party that weren’t alive when the first Sundress Fest was just a party on the @thewonderlanddc “patio.”

We walked into a bar on H Street and ordered a cream ale and an ESB. What a world, what a world. Thanks, Henceforth!

Fight inflation – at least when the @capitals are on the ice – at @bluejacketdc, where the 895 Imperial Red Ale is half-price, or $4.48, during playoff games. It’s a throwback beer, with serious pine resin notes, rich raisiny color and a deeply bitter finish, and clocks in at 8% ABV.
