[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]How are you living in DC and hanging out at a brewery, backyArd with friends, going to the beach? There aren’t any nice beaches nearby. It’s typically too hot to hang in a backyard with kids. Where is a nearby brewery?[/quote]

DP here.   Are you serious?  It seems from your tone and context that you ARE serious, but this is such a bizarre insinuation that I can't help but clarify.

I mean, yes, I realize that the District of Columbia is not Malibu or Daytona with beaches that are steps from homes.  However, there is this wonderful thing called a "car" and you can own or rent one and drive it for a couple of hours and spend the day at the beach.

Backyard & kids on a DC summer day?  Sprinkler.  Kiddie pool.  $13 box fans for the parents.  Apologies to the apartment dwellers for being SFH-centric, but then I'd direct your attention to spray parks or pools.

Re: the brewery question, I can't even take this seriously.   Please don't write back and ask "where is a nearby spray park" [/quote]

Perhaps I’m just spoiled from where I’ve lived previously, but it’s a stretch to drive to say sandy point and spend the day with kids.  We knew many people living in DC and no one we knew regularly visited nearby beaches.  For a reason.

I wouldn’t want to hang out in a backyard on a summer day in DC.  It’s extremely humid and hot.  Most people aren’t comfortable.  Perhaps at night if it’s 70 degrees or cooler but you can’t count on that.

I’m serious about a brewery.  I’m only aware of one local brewery and it’s not really a destination.  There are some restaurants that serve local beers but not like a traditional brewery.
