"In late November, D.C. brewery Atlas Brew Works is slated to roll out its popular advent calendar for beer. There’s a brew in this box for each of the 12 days of Christmas, from Atlas’ core beers to seasonal releases and fan favorites, all concealed under numbered panels. Once you order a box, you’ll pick it up from either Atlas brewery and tap room in Ivy City or Half Street — and hurry, because supplies are limited." - Adele Chapin
"Atlas Brew Works is part of the growing number of reasons to eat and drink around D.C.’s Ivy City neighborhood. Notable beers include the Ponzi IPA, the Blood Orange gose, and the Dance of Days pale ale. The taproom is open for beer fans to tour on Saturdays at 2 p.m. (reserve tickets here). There’s a vending machine with some local snacks and food trucks are a frequent sight as well. Its newer Half Street brewery and taproom in Navy Yard features fifteen taps, food from Andy’s Pizza, and a huge outdoor beer garden." - Travis Mitchell, Tierney Plumb

"College buddies Justin Cox and Will Durgin opened D.C.'s fourth production brewery in the Ivy City neighborhood of northeast D.C. Once a newspaper distribution center, the brewery holds as much as 2,300 barrels. Beers consist of two flagship brews: the "Rowdy," a hoppy rye ale, and the "District Common," a California Common with Saaz hops as well as a limited release dark black IPA known as "NSFW." Growlers, tours, and tastings take place only on Saturdays, 1-4pm."
