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.
