Imbibe magazine recently combed the country for the 101 best places to get a beer. In case you missed it, beeradvocate.com has posted the list, broken down into ten categories, including best Irish-style pubs, best bottle list, and best beer shops. We know Washington is full of places to down a draft or crack open an unusual brew, and we’re glad to see that Imbibe agrees. The list gave the thumbs-up to Birreria Paradiso, Rustico, the Brickskeller, Brasserie Beck, Granville Moore’s, and Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits.

Hamiltons Bar & Grill. I used to work near by and still go by occasionally. The bar tenders are good people

since the death of dremos, i guess i’d go with birreria paradiso. they keep a fairly lean but frequently rotated list on tap, and i’ve always liked the bartenders and general atmosphere. i love the selection at rustico, but it feels more like a restaurant first and bar second.

Townhall in college park is my favorite.

Rustico is the best. It offers an impressive and revolving selection of beers that you can be confident will actually be in stock, unlike the Brickskeller.

I went to Mio and they have a great American line up on draft. I love the Allagash!

I really like the Belgian list at Beck’s. I think the beer guy is named Bill. He’s great.
