Preferably from a wooden cask, but am especially looking for English ales. Cheers! Wed Jan 30 09:11:31 -0800 2008 161954 mc_blurred 1 3348217 There are several places that serve cask ale in the DC area, although none of them serve it from a wooden cask (at least on a regular basis): the Brickskeller and RFD (www.lovethebeer.com), Birreria Paradiso (http://www.eatyourpizza.com/about_birreria_paradiso.php), which is in the Georgetown location of Pizzeria Paradiso, the Cap City brewpubs (http://www.capcitybrew.com), Rock Bottom brewpub in Ballston and Rustico in Alexandria (http://www.rusticorestaurant.com/). Many of the beers you will in the casks are American-brewed, English-style ales, although you will occasionally see other types of beer as well. They usually change what's in the casks frequently, however, given the short shelf life of cask ales. Wed Jan 30 09:46:54 -0800 2008 3348076 12084 Bill4242
