It's a vibe! I've visited another Aslin in Pittsburgh and was thrilled to find out there's also one in DC! It's at the perfect location, right at a busy intersection of Logan Circle so great for people watching! The Adirondack chairs really added to the summer vibe! I was here on a weekend around happy hours and it was PACKED and LOUD. It's giving college frat parties in both the good and bad ways haha. But overall it's a great casual spot and decent drinks. read more

I went for a friend's birthday. But if you're looking for a beer "garden" to watch games and/or just hang out with friends, Aslin is the place to go. Though they do offer some non-beer options, this location may not be ideal for those who don't prefer beer. Be prepared to know what you want to order... especially when they are busy. The day I went there were World Cup games and a UFC fight on. So the venue was PACKED. I felt the person behind the register was losing patience as we tried to figure what to drink. read more

This place has a wide selection of beer on tap! Great outdoor open air seating. If the weather is right, this is the place! Highly recommend to relax with a cold one! read more

This is my 3rd Aslin location that I have visited. The staff is always so super friendly and will let you sample anything you can totally pick their brains on the beer selection of what you like or don't like and they will find something for you. This location happens to also have a coffee shop inside as well which I thought was a genius concept although they don't serve lunch, food or dinner food here you can go to the tables and order from a couple local places and they will bring it right to the brewery for you. Be sure to check out their brewery, merch and take something home with you. I added to my collection with a really cool shirt! I have two more locations to visit Virginia Beach and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! I cannot wait! read more

Always a good time at Aslin! Perfect for a casual get together with a fun variety of beer! First come first serve picnic table seating for the most part. They do have a small indoor area but mostly people come here to enjoy the weather. One great thing about this spot is you can actually order food from either Doi Moi or Chicken and Whiskey, both of which are nearby, and someone delivers your food to your table! Can't go wrong with this spot read more

I always enjoy a visit to Aslin. The beer is tasty and this spot has a nice outdoor space, perfect for the spring or fall. When I had a remote job, this was a great place to work. Where I could sit outside and enjoy a coffee during the day and a nice happy hour special as the day stretched on. The atmosphere is nice and it has a nice energy with the many others who join at the communal tables and TV sets that line the walls. It's a nice neighborhood spot. Not exactly kid friendly but a fun spot for adults and friends. read more

My friend and I came to check out their Apres Ski activity. It was a crowded place when we arrived. We got through the entrance to their outdoor space. There was a table set up with Blossom beverages with tastings of their espresso martini. We also got drinks at the bar and hung out chatting and listening to the dj. This was a cool place to check out and enjoy hanging out at. read more

Beautiful beer garden to enjoy in good weather. Limited seating inside. Really friendly staff. Most importantly, really good beer! Their lager is very refreshing. As far their flagship IPA, delicious. Beautifully balanced with no bitterness. Cheers! read more

Apparently the food is at other sites then delivered, Chicken & Whiskey plus an Asian restaurant. Some baked goods seemed available. I ordered inside, which was weirdly hot for 7 pm, and I hope the worker conditions are OK. The Blüm 2022 was a rosé, but looked and tasted like a fruity refreshing white. The ambiance was open, friendly but quite warm with no reprieve. Went for an event, but I may have changed venues to eat on site and in comfort. read more

**UPDATE:** I'm raising my rating from 2 to 4 stars after speaking with local management and learning more about the work already happening to address the concerns in my original review. I still believe some of these issues should have been addressed much sooner, but I also want my rating to reflect how I genuinely feel about Aslin DC. I love this location, and the managers and staff are THE reason I keep coming back. I work in the construction and architecture industry, so I understand that buildings have maintenance issues. Equipment breaks. Things need repairs. That is normal. What matters is how those problems are addressed. I have watched the local team troubleshoot equipment, make repairs, find workarounds, and do everything they reasonably can to keep this place running and customers happy. There is also a limit to what a local team can fix themselves. Larger building and infrastructure issues require support and investment beyond the people working here every day. That was the frustration behind my original review. Over the past year, I have personally watched customers leave because the space was too hot or because they came for coffee and the espresso machine was down. There have also been refrigeration, water, restroom, pest, and other facility issues. Coffee really matters here. Aslin DC is a coffee bar in the mornings. Families come in, neighbors meet for coffee, people work here, regulars make it part of their routine, and later the brewery crowd comes in. This is a neighborhood institution and a genuine community space. I'm encouraged that some of the issues I raised have already been corrected and that larger improvements are moving forward. I hope that investment continues. I also hope ownership spends more time at the DC location and sees firsthand what this team has created. The people running this location know their customers and their neighborhood. I hope they continue to get the support, resources, and investment they need. And thank you for changing the wine! The new selection is a huge improvement. I can't speak to the beer because celiac disease keeps me from trying it, but I hear it's great! I wrote my original review because I care about Aslin DC and want it to thrive. There is still work to do, but I'm encouraged by the changes underway. The people working at Aslin DC have created something special. They deserve the support to keep building on it. read more

Absolutely love this brewery! The outdoor space has plenty of seating but it is very popular so can get crowded at times. The beer is some of my favorite of all of the breweries in the DC area and the staff are very friendly. I was choosing between a few different beers and the staff let me sample a couple to see which one I liked best. The vast selection is guaranteed to have a beer that fits everyone's taste. read more

Came for a fundraising event and had a great time! Aslin has plenty of space so it's a great place for an event. The environment is extremely casual -- not necessarily much of a vibe as there isn't really music playing or any particular type of energy but it's a very easy place to hang around a talk. There are a few televisions playing a variety of sports but with the sound off so again, not necessarily a vibe. No food options but very close to restaurants that deliver and you can bring your own food in. The beer itself is great. I tried volcano sauce which is a blueberry vanilla sour -- super tasty. My only area for improvement is line management. The lines here are long for no reason because they don't have a menu posted anywhere meaning you have to wait til your at the register to read the menu and order. As a result it takes forever for people to order. Staff are really friendly and manage to keep the lines moving fairly quick despite this bottleneck but they could just post a menu on the screens above the bar and it would solve that problem. Its also a coffeebar / co-working space so all around a nice place for a variety of purposes. read more

I love Aslin's Volcano/Super Volcano Sauce Sour. It is my favorite sour hands down. This location is nice, they sell coffee as well as beer/sours on tap. There is plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the sunshine. We came for pi day, to be honest I felt this was just a way to get people in the door. No incentive really. No special beer or deals. The pizza place they partnered with was good but charged $8 for a small square per piece. It got really busy the longer the day went on with some rowdy people in the line waiting to get in. Overall, I think most days this place is chill and a nice vibe. I don't know if I would come back for an "event" they're hosting though. If you haven't tried it, give volcano sauce a go! read more

Great spot for coffee and beer! I love the open beer garden style and the fun branding. Coffee was tasty and we returned later for a sour beer which was great! read more

Food: beer really, their sours are so good! I basically only get them when I am here, but the taste is perfect. Not too sour, fruity, or sweet, which is perfect. Well balanced and such a fun color. They do not serve food here, but you can order from places next door so that is a plus. Service: two bars to order at. Super fast and rarely a wait at all. Ambiance: always a table to grab and half the fun is meeting new people. Make sure to get there early if you want shade though. read more

My favorite beer in DC, with a lot of very fun and innovative drinks. Also shoutout to the artist(s) who designs their cans. Biggest downside is it can get incredibly packed and loud there and can be hard to find seating, but that's not so much their fault since it's in a prime location. Love that you can order food from neighboring restaurants and they'll bring it right to your table. read more

As a sour ale fan, Aslin has been on my radar ever since they opened in Virginia ten years ago. They consistently brew more than two sour ales and now they are in Washington, D.C. Along popular 14th Street NW, this location is on a corner with lots of room. Fully fenced off from the street, there are long tables and indoor and outdoor seating. Scan the QR code on the table or walk inside to pay at the register. They let you sample their beers. If you love sour ales, the Arctic Sauce is excellent! They also sell coffee throughout the day too! read more

Awesome spot to spend an afternoon outside! Service is always great and beer is affordable priced

got beer spilled on me, very upset, not worth it.- Ethan Ravlin p.s Beer doesn't grow on trees stop calling it a garden and it tastes like they sprinkled dirt in the beer read more

I'm a huge fan of Aslin beer and love the location in Alexandria. This particular location didn't do it for me. It's a very young crowd, the outdoor seating isn't comfortable, and the vibe just isn't for me at all. I can honestly say this is a one and done for me and it has nothing to do with the beer or service, just strictly the atmosphere for me. read more

This place gets so packed, but it's a great spot for some good beers in Logan Circle. My friend and I ordered a couple half pours from the outside bar. A couple knowingly cut the line and announced their justification, so it would be helpful if they could have clear queues somehow, though who knows if that's possible considering the limited space. We found a ledge to sit on after getting our beers. A dog had its own adirondack chair, which was perplexing given the state of the space. Some people have no situational awareness, I swear. I had two sour beers and enjoyed them both. Aslin puts out great stuff, and I'm lucky that they distribute to my city. read more

Cute little spot where they literally card everyone! Lots of seating and good vibes. I was sitting alone and several guests asked me if they could sit at thr table with me. Very polite guests and staff alike. I appreciate that you could try 1/2 pours. Can order via qr code at the table as well as at the bar. Plenty of variety in their beer. I tried 2 of their iPas and both were good. read more

On a beautiful day in DC while touring through the Logan area we stopped into Aslin Beer company to get a beer, sit outside and soak in the sun. You are ID'd as soon as you walk in. You give all the way to the back and order your beer. I ordered "Bringing sexy back." It was a nice light pale with notes of peaches , mango and papaya. I didn't care for the plastic glass they served it in but it was very good. We grabbed an Adirondack chair outside and hung out for a bit. It's a great vibe! read more

Favorite brewery when I visited DC. A lot of outdoor seating. Very dog friendly. They have their own food truck. Two bars on site to make catering to the crowd easier, but the lines are still long. To go cans and merch available at the back bar. The back bar tended to have a shorter line. Wanted to work here during the day. A lot of people had their laptops and were doing the same. However, their wifi sucked. Thankfully I only needed to work for a little bit and used my phone as a hotspot. Didn't have a bad beer while we were here. Unicorn Vomit was my favorite (TIPA). Had some chicken tenders and fries from the truck. Nothing special but it hit the spot. A lot of people were getting huge fried chicken sandwiches. They looked good. Left at 5ish on a Friday and there was a huge line out the door and down the sidewalk. Vibes are great. People are friendly. Plan to wait if you want to get here during a popular hour. Don't forget your ID. They carded at the door. Can't wait to come back here. read more

I popped into aslin after dinner last night - it's kind of a funny spot! The signage & inside ambiance give a kind of gas station vibe which was a little off putting at first. The outdoor area looked like it might be a little nicer, but it was too cold for us to sit outside. I would probably want to come back & check out the outdoors on a warmer day. The beer, however, was great as expected! The bartender was able to give good recommendations as well based on my taste preferences, which was super helpful.

The vibes are great-- definitely ideal to go on a summer night to sit out on the terrace. There were a lot of beer options to choose from. We ended up getting one of the IPA and wheat beers that they offered. Service was good-- the beer came out quickly and everyone was friendly. read more

Awesome place to grab a beer or cup of coffee. The outdoor space is expansive, with plenty of covered seating and open air seating options. Did not have to wait long for a drink, and the Adirondack chairs were perfectly situated between fans and outdoor tvs. All the beer options were excellent. It was a super convenient to and from nearby hotels and public transit. Will definitely return for another round of drinks. read more

Aslin is a very fun brewery! I came here with my wife and a few friends while in town for a conference and we really enjoyed our time here. The brewery has a large biergarten with many, many tables, so finding a place to sit wasn't too bad even on a busy weekend day. Service was great and they have an online ordering system (in addition to normal counter service), so it was very nice to peruse the menu and try a bunch of half pours so we could try more of their selections. The beer was great and they have a variety of styles, so there's something for everyone. They had a food truck present when we came, so it was nice to have a food option available. It's a nice laidback atmosphere and they have a great beer, so it's a great place in my book! read more

I really like the outdoor space (lots of lawn chair style seating to relax in), and I like that they have both beer and non-alcoholic drinks like coffee and kombucha, but it's expensive. For example, a 16 oz cold brew was almost $8 which is more than I've paid anywhere else in DC. The beers I've had are ok, and I'd be willing to come back and try some others. But overall walked away feeling like I spent a lot of money for what I got. read more

I really like this place, and wish I lived closer. I was in the area on a Monday morning, and didn't realize that they sold coffee in the mornings as well as beer in the afternoons! I ordered a large decaf oatmilk latte, and it was really tasty--smooth, and not bitter at all. Only the inside was open for serving--assuming because it was morning, fall, or both--but there is an outdoor bar with a ton of seating for casual meetups and a couple rows of Adirondack chairs where you can watch whatever is on TV at the time. This particular morning, it was Sherri Sheperd's talk show, but I think they've had sports games playing during my previous visits. read more

Aslin Beer Company is quickly becoming our go-to hangout spot. We went at 6pm on a Wednesday and there was plenty of seating available. The biergarten is quite spacious and has a festive, laid-back atmosphere, with string lights, vivid murals, some canopy covering, and lots of picnic tables (perfect for larger groups of 4+). Ordering by QR code was incredibly easy, but the best part is that you can also order food via QR code from Doi Moi and Chicken + Whiskey nearby, and they'll deliver it right to your table (!). Aslin has a wide range of beers: I had the Esperante (light, citrusy) and Volcano Sauce (a berry sour), both delicious, but my favorite of the evening was Apizza!, which a friend ordered and which has a really complex, tropical, coconut-y set of flavors. I liked that you can order half-pours, too, if you want to sample more of their beers. Can't wait to be back! read more

Came to Aslin Beer Company on a recent visit to the DC. The space is huge and super cool. It's a brewery that also has a coffee shop inside. Came on a Friday evening so it was quite busy. It was. A bit of a challenge to find a seat. You can either order at the bar or you can scan and have the brews brought to you. There is no food offered but you can order from a few local restaurants by scanning at your table and it's delivered to you. Great options to have in case you want a bite! There were so many dogs which was amazing to people watch and dog watch haha. It's mostly outdoor seating with a couple seats in their inside/cafe area. The beers were delicious. I tried a sour mango beer which was so good, tart, and fresh. My partner enjoyed an IPA. Definitely a really cool spot! read more

Was in the city for a show down the street at the Black Cat and stumbled upon Aslin's. Aslin did a excellent job with the space they had. It's right on the corner and has a stop here welcoming vibe. Aslin offers a variety of different beers which is what I look for in a brewery. We loved that it was outside but the covered, heated areas throughout made it feel like you were inside. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. read more

Spacious, colorful, beer and coffee. They don't serve food but you can order to have food delivered from nearby restaurants (after 3pm). Great spot to get some shade, rest and recover from the heat, bring your laptop and get some work done. Glad I stumbled upon this gem today! read more

Really cool spot with tons of ourdoor seating and a lot of shade, TVs, and comfy chairs. The inside had no AC but clean bathrooms with AC. The iced coffee was fantastic, I'm sad they were out of matcha latte cause I'm sure it would be next level. The honey bear was good, enough for me to come back to DC just for it. They had a nice canned red wine, and some good sours. read more

Great spot to grab a beer, especially if you've got your dog with you. They make it super easy--you just scan a QR code at your table or chair to order, and they'll bring the drinks right to you (you pay through Toast Tab). While they don't have their own kitchen, you can order food from nearby restaurants. It can get pretty crowded on nice days, so be prepared to hunt for a seat, but the laid-back, dog-friendly vibe makes it worth it. read more

We stopped by Aslin to grab a few rounds of beer before heading to dinner and had a fun time. It was the full basic (dark check-style lager) and volcano sauce (a sour) for my husband and two power moves (an IPA) for me. The outdoor space was larger but it was rainy and cold so we sat inside. This brewery is worth checking out if you are in the area. read more

We've been coming here for a while now.

I recommend overall read more

Just ordered a sangria here which was okay. The outdoor seating is nice and has a tent with heaters for colder days. The tents also have tv screens for sports which is nice. The tables are picnic tables and allows for a great place to meet friends and chat. The outdoor area is also dog friendly. The bathrooms could've been a bit cleaner read more
