On December 23, Brickskeller closed, ending an era in beer drinking for Washingtonians. According to Young & Hungry, the space will reopen as Bier Baron on Wednesday, December 29 at 6 p.m. Owner Megan Merrifield notes that they will be offering a 500-beer selection with promises that – unlike with the former occupant – it will remain up-to-date. Pretzels and pierogis will grace the food menu, as well as desserts in collaboration with PS7’s pastry chef Zak Miller. The article also notes that the Hotel Baron will open above in a few weeks – all the better for those who might choose to overindulge.
