Ever since I started drinking craft beer on a regular basis, Dogfish Head became one of my go-to choices. I can probably thank Dogfish Head for being the brewery that expanded my palate early on with their year round releases. Long story short, Dogfish Head has always held a special place in my heart. Sunday I was up in the Northern Virginia area to see a concert Sunday night, so a few friends and I decided to go to the Dogfish Head Alehouse before heading into the city.

I was more excited about the beer selection here than anything else, but I heard their food is good too. When I go to restaurants/bars that are similar to another type of establishment, I always order the same item off of the menu to compare the places. The first time I ate at Legend Brewery in Richmond Virginia I ordered their reuben sandwich. The Dogfish Head Alehouse happened to have a reuben on their menu as well, so I ordered one of those to go along with my black and tan.

Although the reuben wasn’t the best I’ve had, the beer more than made up for it. Unfortunately I was only able to have one beer there because we had to head into the city to see Radiohead, but I could definitely get used to having a place like this in the Richmond area. If you ever have a chance to go to a Dogfish Head Alehouse, I highly recommend it people. Their menu looked incredible, and the beers they had to choose from are definitely worth it!
