11 stops, 2 miles: Endless memories along this exhilarating DC beer trail

Endless memories along this exhilarating DC beer trail

It’s one of D.C.’s best fall adventures that’s putting a lesser-known area of the city on the map.

In today’s episode of “Matt About Town,” 91欧美激情’s Matt Kaufax got on his bike (again) 鈥 and headed out on the Metropolitan Beer Trail!

Featuring 11 stops along a two-mile stretch, the MBT is put on by the NoMa Business Improvement District, and is now in its third year. It started with just a handful of stops and a couple thousand participants, but has grown to 15,000 registered members strong (with new stops added frequently).

At its core, the trail celebrates two things: The Northeast D.C. community and its signature small businesses that craft exquisite brews.

You don鈥檛 have to be a beer enthusiast to imbibe in the good vibes along the MBT either. Many of the stops Matt made it out to 鈥 like D.C.鈥檚 Metrobar, Lost Generation Brewing Company, and City State Brewing Company 鈥 offer food, games and family-friendly vibes for all ages.

Along his hops-infused journey, Matt was joined by biking companion Maura Brophy, the president of the NoMa BID. Together, the pair met up with familiar faces at each new stop, and made plenty of new friends along the way. As Matt found out, the key to making it through (if you鈥檙e committing to the bit) is to pace yourself.
