Did you know that The Mayflower originally stopped in what is now Massachusetts because they ran out of beer? It’s true (probably; water tended to be undrinkable in those days).

And who could blame the Pilgrims for making history’s first ever beer run? Beer is delicious. This is a simple and obvious statement with which you cannot argue. Whether it’s the bitter hops of a refreshing IPA or the malt of a rich porter, a good beer can provide the perfect compliment to a delicious dinner, or is simply a great way to unwind after a long day.

One of the best things about beer is that there is a lot of it. Take RFD (Regional Food and Drink Washington), for example – “The World of Beer in the Heart of the City” – which features over 30 beers on tap, very rare cask-conditioned ale and more than 300 beers by the bottle. Now, with SB Nation’s Team Pick, RFD has brewed up a great deal: $20 worth of food and drink for just $10.

In addition to their impressive beer list, a selection that earned them Runner-Up awards for Best Beer Selection, Best Craft Beer Selection and Best Draft Beer Selection from Washington City Paper, RFD also features a food menu built around their brews which ranges from their Hoegaarden Witbier-Steamed Mussels to Chicken & Artichokes stewed in Anchor Steam, to the 12-oz. NY Strip marinated in Sam Smith Taddy Porter.

With a spacious dining area and roomy bar, RFD is the prefect setting for any group, and for any occasion - be it before, after or during a game, thanks to its 11 flat-screen TVs. RFD is located just a block from the Verizon Center, conveniently situated on 7th Street in the center of Chinatown, a short walk from the Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro stop on the Red Line.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

Don’t disappoint our founding fathers.
