Wholesale distributor OtherSide Beverage and Alexandria, Virginia-based Aslin Beer Co. have collaborated on a new beer called Rising Tides Raise All for National Harbor, a beer National Harbor hopes will attract more diners and benefit restaurant workers.

Rising Tides is now available exclusively at restaurants at National Harbor in Maryland’s Prince George’s County. It is offered on draft and in cans, including four-packs to go.

OtherSide Beverage and National Harbor will donate a portion of the beer sales to staff at participating restaurants.

The beer is an IPA with 5.5% ABV and is described as a “juicy bomb.” It is a hazy spa brewed with chinook, Citra and mosaic hops. Aslin Beer Co. calls it a dank, easy drinking beer for any weather.

Participating restaurants include:

  • The Brass Tap
  • Sauciety at the Westin
  • Succotash
  • Bond 45
  • Fiorellas
  • Redstone American Grill
  • Public House
  • Brother Jimmy’s
  • The Irish Whisper

It will be available at The Capital Wheel. Donations will be contributed through March 14.

This is usually the first busy month of the year for National Harbor, with Valentine’s Day and Presidents Day weekend, and because it draws tourists to the Cherry Blossom trees there that bloom earlier than the trees on D.C.’s National Mall.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
