Saturday was yet another perfect day in DC. Yet another day to be out and about. Judy and I met up down at the riverfront for a bit of canoeing. Lots of people were out in motorboats and kayaking. We made a loop around the Theodore Roosevelt Island. The wildlife included two blue herrings and some ducks. Not a bad little paddle.
We had reservations at Brasserie Beck, a nice Belgian/French place, at 9:30 so we had some time to kill. Being in Georgetown my perfect idea to kill time is to have some fine brews at Pizzeria Paradiso. The downstairs bar was full and it took quite a long time to get a beer. After a La Chouffe we had a Three Floyds Blackheart. It wasn’t on the menu but after ordering a Three Floyds Apocalypse Cow that they didn’t have the bar tender suggested it. I had yet to have any beer from Three Floyds and they have been on my list for a bit. They have quite the reputation. The Blackheart is an English style IPA released once a year in May. I was quite happy with it.
Then on to dinner. Neither Judy or I have been to Brasserie Beck. It is supposed to be some damn good food with a nice Belgian beer selection. We weren’t disappointed. The gruyere and mushroom crepe appetizer was very good. Judy had the pork tenderloin with confit of cabbage and mustard sauce. I had the choucroute "en croûte" which was a pastry with a few kinds of pork inside. Mine was pretty good but Judy’s tenderloin was most excellent. We were talking about that dish all night long. We’ll definitely be back.
