How to Drink and Not Get Fat

Who could resist a headline like that? Our friends at Tap & Cork in Brooklyn posted a one minute nutritional video (Beer Belly video) on their blog with this catchy conundrum.

The conclusion?

"To drink without gaining weight, you’ll have to drink in moderation…"

Deep, soul-stirring sigh.
I'd knew they'd say that.

DC Is Becoming A Big Brew Town

While I'm not a beer drinker, obviously a large part of the drinking public is, so this, uh, not-quite-a-Bud is for you.

It's DC Beer Week 2013 and the stuff is pouring everywhere. The Post and the City Paper have day by day lists for what ales ya (couldn't help myself). There will be tap takeovers, food and beer pairings, you name it - it will be served with beer this week.

Don't miss the Half St fest after the Nats game on Thursday or the NoMa outdoor beer fest on Saturday.

To all my beery friends, go forth and be frothy.

Drink & Food Festival Season in Full Swing

The lazy non-cooker in me is always looking for a party with a purpose - food - and summer is almost nonstop food festival time. I've missed so many already, but not to worry. The DMV has plenty of wine, crab, beer and street fests to go around. This coming weekend is Drink the Districts 'Red, Wine and Brew' bubbling up outside of Nationals stadium in Yards Park. 

Broken up into three 4 hour sessions, $45 (or $35 if it is the last session ) gets you unlimited American beer and wine.  Pair that with live music and the ever present food truck experience and you've got it - party time.
