Known for their creative mixes, they’ve released over 200 beers to date and have won a number of awards for their creations in only a short period of time."
"flag design, and its beers are becoming tied to the city’s culture as well. Find beers with quirky and interesting flavor profiles that also pack a boozy punch. Pours of Peppercorn Saison and Above The Clouds farmouse pale ale are crowd-pleasers that fit in with the ever-changing lineup of one-offs and rotating recipes."

District Chophouse dates back to 1996, the original emerging days of the brewpub craze, and long before the craft brewing surge truly took hold. Located near the Verizon Center in Chinatown, they're a full-service restaurant known for their steaks and burgers."
"District ChopHouse is not only a fine brewery, it’s an upscale restaurant with an extensive wine list, too. They offer a small, but well-rounded, selection of standard brews, including a lager, an IPA, a Scottish, a stout, and a Belgian pale ale. They’re located just outside Capital One Arena, so stop in for a steak or some fresh seafood before a game."

She is known for putting a playful and cheeky spin on your favorite home-style desserts, where some of the more legendary creations include the iconic Cereal Milk™ soft serve (made with milk, brown sugar, and a little bit of cornflakes which—yes—tastes just like childhood, a.k.a. the milk at the bottom of a bowl of cereal), naked layer cakes (you can actually see all of the moist and spongy layers through the transparent container), cake truffles, assorted cookies, and more!. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, order a chocolate caramel pretzel cake or their famous birthday cake for the road."
