    I am going to be there for work in a few weeks. Is there anywhere in National Harbor with a decent selection? What is the best / cheapest way to get into DC so I can hit up Churchkey/Right Proper Etc.?

    Lots of overpriced NOT craft beers all over National Harbor. You might get lucky here and there though with local beers. Just depends on the bar/restaurant. However, there is food market / deli that has a pretty good selection of 6 packs, 12 oz and 22 oz singles. Prices are decent there. Someone can probably help you better with your transportation question though. Definitely don't want to miss Right Proper, Blue jacket, Churchkey, etc.

    I don't know the best way to get transportation from National Harbor to DC, but if you are doing Right Proper and Churchkey in one trip, I suggest Right Proper first as a majority of their beers aren't high in ABV.

    You won't find anything mind blowing, but you can make do with Public House, Harringtons, and The Walrus. There may be others, but I haven't been over there in quite some time because getting to/from the National Harbor is a pain.

    For convenience, uber is probably your best bet. If you're feeling a little adventurous and have some time to kill, there is a water taxi that goes over to Old Town Alexandria where you could check out Pizzeria Paradiso or Rustico (sister bar to Churchkey). It is then a reasonably short distance to the King Street metro (about a mile, but there is a trolley too) where you could hop on the yellow line which has a stop very close to Right Proper (Shaw). Bluejacket is also close to a metro stop. Churchkey is a 10-15 min walk from Metro.

    Take a water taxi to Alexandria, catch a bus to King St or Braddock metro and take it into DC..
