Lost Generation Brewing Co - a fun new opening!

Recently I wrote a piece for District Fray Magazine about Lost Generation Brewing Co., DC's newest brewpub in Eckington. The piece can be found here:

I went on Saturday, October 29th, for their grand opening and it was quite the success...despite having such a cavernous space, it was standing room only and absolutely packed. At times it was tough to reach the bar because of how busy it was (which is a good problem to have if you're a brewer!) so if this is any indication, the pub will have a fantastic run. The only suggestion I might give is to make a dedicated lane at the bar for walk-ups, to make it easier to order rather than having guests push past others to order. 

I tried a number of their beers, all of which were delicious, but I wanted to spotlight one that was funky and neat - their "Peach Cobbler a la Mode", a 5.00% ABV pastry sour. I'm a big fan - it was sweet but not excessively so, and the fresh peach flavors came through quite well and balanced the mild sour tang. Consistency-wise, my first pour (below) was quite thick and bubbly; the second was more "stable" so not sure what's going on there. If you're a fan of peach beers, this is definitely worth a try!
