As part of my continuing service to fellow Strongbow aficionados currently residing in the Washington, D.C. area, I am posting a blog entry every time I come across this wonderful beverage in a D.C. establishment.
The latest place to carry Strongbow is Brickskeller, the venerable D.C. bar that holds the Guinness World Record for most available beers. I don't recall seeing Strongbow on the beer menu when I was there a few months ago (granted I usually go for Baltika #3), but I had one there last night (500 mL can).
Brickskeller can definitely be a hit or miss place. The service might be ridiculously slow (20+ minutes to find a beer) and they'll be out of your first 27 selections on one night, but on other nights (like last night) the service will be excellent and you'll get your beer in a few minutes. One of the best things about the Brickskeller is the atmosphere. It's a really relaxed place and no trendy dressing up BS required. Also, the music selection is awesome. If you love beer and you've never been to Brickskeller before, I'd highly recommend it. It's also the first bar I went to on my 21st birthday, so I have a lot of good memories from that establishment. I do wish they'd bring back the Croatian Karlovacko, though.
Brickskeller is located at 1523 22nd St NW. Nearest metro is DuPont Circle.
