This is a minority report on the brew pub adjacent to Convention Center on H
Street.  I ate there Sunday after leaving the Redskins game at RFK stadium.  The
place would appeal to anyone who would enjoy eating in a room somewhat akin to
the room where the Patriot missile is manufactured.  There were about 40 people
maximum,less than a quarter of what the  place could easily hold.  Everyone
seems to get pretzels with mustard and sweet horseradish to tide them over until
the meal arrived--well, everyone except us.  We had to ask if we could get some
after we had finished our chili.  Forty minutes after we ordered, we were told
that they were out of hamburg and would have to reorder.  A turkey club finally
arrived as a replacement.  I was able to eat half of it, and lost interest in
the balance chosing to take it home and try it another day.  The choice of beer
(I had one pint) had to be made on the basis of cute names rather than on brands
I enjoy.  Regretfully, I forgot the name of the beer and I certainly want to
forget the beer, too.  (Hint:  I don't recommend that you choose the beer with
the most Virginia sounding name).  The french fires were better than average for
Washington (where can one get GOOD french fries this side of Thrashers?) They
will start serving their own brew in about two weeks.  For 2, each with one
beer, one cup of soup, one sandwich, no dessert, the tab was $31 plus tip. At
least  the Redskins won.
