another new joint in Shaw/Logan Cir neighborhood

[denver brewhoo]

Has this been discussed? sorry if I'm repeating (I know Greg posts here sometimes) but the Rustico folks have made real progress with the old Dakota Cowgirl space at 1337 14th St NW and are talking an October opening. Bottom floor: Birch and Barley, basically restaurant I think. Second floor: The ChurchKey, more bar-type space I think. Bonus: Rooftop deck!

Story is 400-500 beers (think Brickskeller but maybe they'll all, you know, actually BE in stock....) and 50 taps BUT I heard 6 cask ale beer engines....

You lucky midtown dogs...here's Tom Sietsema:

6 casks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! They have done a nice job with Rustico. This sounds even better.

As I noted on the DCbeerlist, I hope they can get away with 6 casks, lord knows I'll do my part, but I'm having a hard time envisioning anyone actually being able to turn over the goods quick enough. That said I'm going to give 'em big points if they go for it (as I sup mighty quantities of ale).
