We decided to stay in Virginia for supper, so we took the metro to the neighbourhood of Clarendon and walked to Heritage Brewing Company for a late supper. It should be noted that even at 8 pm, it was still 32c.

We were seated in the lovely air conditioned brewpub and Brad and I ordered flights of their beer. The brewery is owned by veterans, so many of their beers had apropos names like “Freedom Isn’t Free” and “Civil Rights.” To start, Brad and I had deviled eggs and a platter of smoked fish. The smoked fish was incredible! They had a pastrami salmon that I’m
sure I’ll dream about! Then Brad and I shared a 1/2 chicken that had been rubbed with adobo and came with three sauces: chimichurri, “yum yum” sauce and gravy. We also had mac ‘n cheese and lime and cilantro corn on the cob. Evan chose to have the heritage burger and fries, which he enjoyed with his craft root beer soda.

Feeling full, we made our way back to the metro where a fire somewhere down the line had caused delays. Luckily we were able to take a different line and get back safely without too much trouble.Read more
