Boasting an impressive beer list of more than 500 choices, ChurchKey is located on the spacious second level.

Hallelujah, prost, cheers, mazel tov! Whatever your proclivity, the looong-awaited Birch & Barley and its massive upstairs beer haven ChurchKey are finally opening the doors for business Thursday at 1337 14th Street NW (barring unforeseen acts of God, of course).

The husband-and-wife team of Kyle Bailey and Tiffany MacIsaac have the kitchen covered in this new Neighborhood Restaurant Group addition, the company's first in DC. Both chefs — he's exec chef, she's the pastry chef — were previously at Allen & Delancey in NYC. Prior to that, MacIsaac was pastry chef at Cru. Bailey was at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and Cru before that.

Metrocurean snagged some photos for your viewing pleasure ... Let's start our tour in Birch & Barley on the first floor.

Awesome! But is it hard to tune?

No, you just play a note, and if it is off you drink beer out of it until the note is right.

BTW, the tap list at these two places is AWESOME! Lots of unique, hard to find beers.

It's much easier than trying to Tune-a-fish

But, I had to look at that for a minute.

Trying to figure out what I was looking at, one of the thoughts that actually crossed my mind was whether or not those copper pipes held different amounts of beer to produce different notes. And then I noticed that there wasn't a keyboard. Just thought I'd share. I'm not as stupid as I look. Really!
