Brookland Pint Toasts the Pope, Salmonella Scare Continues, More Intel

Raise a glass to the pope

Now we're up to two restaurants capitalizing on the pope's upcoming visit to D.C. Brookland Pint, which is a block from where the pope will conduct mass, is offering a whole bunch of religious-themed beers, from Evil Twin Brewery's Double Barrel Jesus to a special "No Pope, 'til Brookland" brew from Franklin's. That's on top of the fact that Ella's Pizza has a pope-themed pie in the works.
