In Western MI (and when it was a mainstay in Chicago), there were celebrations each year when the first batch was released. Perhaps that tradition could live on at The Meridian Pint now that Bell's has fully expanded into the DC market. Can I also request that you not forget the simple mainstays (something like Shiner or even Yuengling) for "quantity" nights? John–

IPAs, stouts, porters, ambers. Some of the best beer is made domestically, in my view. Belgians are nice, but please include some American micros. IPAs, stouts, porters, ambers.

A pot of steaming mussels + frittes combo would be nice (although I am not a big mussels fan). Brussel's style waffles would be an awesome dessert item.

Just to respond to a few: Bell's Oberon, yes, I already had it at Asylum and it rocks, however, it's been replaced now with Bell's Double Cream Stout. Abita Turbo Dog is great too and will likely have some time in the line up. Vegans and Vegetarians will always have a place in my establishments. Manicured tree boxes like at Asylum, absolutely. Opening hinges on 3DG's progress but hopefully October/November. Having my shit together? I will do my best to provide an exception experience from the day we open. If not, you all have my email and I welcome comments directly. Btw, I'm still looking for a chef in case anyone has any leads. Thank you again to everyone for their support.
