Olney Ale House

One of my new responsibilities, one that I am actually excited about as opposed to terrified of, is that of Temperance Hall web master. The site is rising to the top of Google’s search results which is reassuring. I started a flickr tag, temperancehalldc, which someone contributed to and so I followed it to Hook and Ladder Beer which they just so happen to serve at one of K’s favorite places: the Olney Ale House.
I believe we only made it out there twice, it is not exactly close by, but K and I both have very fond memories of the place. They serve a few vegetarian sandwiches but that memories are of the bread. The fresh molasses bread. Sooo good. And the beer. Mmmmmm. I’d trek out there for the bread and beer alone.
I’ve been out there a handful of times (thanks to my old friend Beth, who introduced me way back in the day) and yeah, they don’t have a lot of veg food but the molasses bread rocks. And I don’t remember sandwiches per se, but the vegetarian chili was the first I was ever exposed to, back in college, and set the bar for my own version for years.
I wonder if they have a decent wine list?
