BEER NEWS
Not local news but important Wold Cup news for all my footie fans out there.
DC Council approves measure allowing bars to stay open 24 hours during World Cup – WTOP
D.C. Council passed an emergency measure to allow bars, restaurants and breweries in the District to stay open 24 hours a day during the World Cup, which will take place from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18 in Qatar.
Places that sell alcohol normally would close at 2 a.m. on weekdays and at 3 a.m. on weekends.
Now they will be able to sell booze until 4 a.m. and remain open 24 hours, but they would have to pause their alcohol service between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m.
