"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" - B. Franklin

Rainy Saturdays are sometimes the best.  While you cannot probably do not want to head to the farmers market, you can grab a book, sit in a coffee shop and read the day away.  I arrived WAY too early in DC for an afternoon of beer tasting so I headed over to my favorite/first secret coffee shop for some breakfast. 

Last June we were supposed to do a grand beer tour of DC, but due to scheduling and illness it was put on hold.  Today, however, everyone had some free time so we decided to conquer two local breweries.  First on the list: DC Brau.

While there was no official tour today, we still got our four free samples and were able to wander around a large part of the brewery.  Everybody's Instagram game was way better than my own, so most of these pictures have been stolen. 

I got most of the motley crew together for a photo.

Erica was the only one, however, brave enough for a dance video!

Next stop: Atlas Brew Works. 

Look at all those kegs!!!
Most of us opted for the flight of beers so we could try everything on the menu. 

On a side note there is no better way to break up an afternoon than with some corn hole.  Thank goodness Vonnie was with us because Todd and Christine had never played before and I always forget the scoring rules.

The day was a total success and we all got to explore two new places and try a few new brews.   Until the next great beer adventure!
