After having the “first half” of dinner at Yamaya Seafood we headed on down H Street to a place we’d seen earlier in the day; 49th State Brewing Company.
We arrived to find the place pretty busy.
After a short wait we were taken upstairs to a very nice patio area. The views were lovely.
I started with the “Into the Mild” on nitro. 
A lightly hopped, easy to drink ale with a nice creaminess was quite a pleasant beverage.
We also ordered two appetizers. Starting with the “Award Winning Smoked Wings”. They went a bit too far with the paprika on this as the “rub” was quite bitter. I was also not a big fan of sprinkling on all that gritty rub after the wings had been smoked. The wings were also on the dry and rubbery side. The quality of the product itself was decent.
We also ordered the Elk Meatball.
As expected, the elk was on the dry side and rather tough.The meatball itself was really bland; while the marinara was super acidic and over-salted. This just wasn’t very good eats; and not cheap at $9.99.
Service was professional, the beer good, and the views…..well, that was probably what we were paying for.

The sun didn’t set until after 11pm at night; which we strangely found more disconcerting than Polar Winter. So we walked around a bit more and headed back to our supposedly haunted hotel. After a full day; I needed some rest.
Thanks for stopping by!
