Washington DC - 3 Brewery Tours in One Afternoon!

Washington DC - 3 Brewery Tours in One Afternoon!

Washington DC had no breweries that packaged beer between 1956 and 2011. This changed, and changed quickly, with the opening of DC Brau, which was quickly followed by many others. Washington DC now has 5 package breweries, 4 with Brewery Tours, and many other Brewpubs, Cideries, Distilleries, and alcohol production facilities. 

Recently, the Urban Atlas team decided to hit as many Brewery Tours as possible in one day. Like many cities, the breweries in Washington DC are located in areas of light industry, not usual tourist neighborhoods. However,  it will definitely give you a wider view of Washington DC, as well as it's very active brewery scene.

Miracle on 7th Street - the pop-up Christmas Bar - a tour and review

/

If you are looking for a place for some Christmas cheer, there is now a bar for you. It feels like Christmas all the time at the Miracle on 7th Street, a pop-up bar from the same team that gave you the Game of Thrones Bar, the halloween bar "PUB Dread," the Cherry Blossom PUB, and many others. Inside, you will find rooms that have been decorates for different themes - A Winter Wonderland, a Gingerbread House, a Christmas Tree, and a Hanukkah themed "Chinese Food and Movie" room.

As you wander from packed room to packed room, it's hard not to get in the holiday spirit considering the decorations, the holiday themed drinks, and the fellow patrons that are reveling in the Christmas spirit.

To give you a better feel of the bar, I have included Urban Atlas's first video tour, a feature I hope to use more often. See below for a one minute tour of the bar.

If you want to experience the Christmas wonderland, be sure to do so soon; it is only open until the end of December. Also, if you go at busy times, be prepared to wait.
