Hops N Shine recently celebrated its One Year Anniversary. Friends, family and, what appeared to be most of the local neighborhood, came out to enjoy small bites, music, an ice luge and, of course, the 52 draft beers available on tap.

This Alexandria hotspot, run by father/son duo Abe and Paymon Hadjiesmaeiloo, Matt Rofougaran and C.J. Cross, is not only known for offering the widest beer selection in the area, but they also offer one of the largest whiskey selections in Del Ray. Additionally, guests can enjoy a dog and kid friendly patio, fire pits, live music and aritsan grilled cheese.
