EAT THIS
In celebration of the Nationals’ opening day, Bluejacket is hosting an outdoor festival today from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Lot O (across the street from the brewery). Bluejacket will be pouring eight of its signature beers including two new ones: a hoppy Belgian blond ale called Goldfinch and a sour strawberry brown ale called Swirl. The first kegs of a whiskey barrel-aged sweet stout with spices called Mexican Radio will also make their debut today. Chef Kyle Bailey will serve burgers as well as GBD fried chicken sandwiches and doughnuts. Meanwhile, Red Apron Butcher chef Nate Anda is taking his hot dog cart, Frank, out of retirement for the afternoon. The festivities will also include batting cages, live music, a DJ, and corn hole. Admission is free, but for $30, you can get two rounds in the batting cage, one food item, and two beers. Bluejacket at Lot O, 4th and Tingey streets SE. bluejacketdc.com. (Jessica Sidman)
