Older-Mondeel said that one of the most exciting things about deciding to move her whole operation to Hyattsville is that now Tanglewood Works can develop an in-depth and consolidated calendar of events and classes that brings people together to craft, upcycle, and socialize. … This being right in between Vigilante and Franklin’s, this sweet spot has been really great, and we’ve been reaching people that wouldn’t necessarily have gone to the Forklift.” Team Tanglewood sales associate and consigning fiber artist, Jen Athanas, agreed: “Here, the exposure is to so many more people. “They’re eating at Franklin’s and then stopping in and they’re grabbing coffee at Vigilante and then they’re stopping back in and then they’re going to look at jewelry across the street and they’re coming back in and then they’re going to 3 Little Birds and coming back in.” “It’s part of their walking journey now,” she said. I think my staff was going to have a mutiny if we gave up the space.” She added that her clients seemed to prefer the Hyattsville location “and were thrilled that we were here.” When asked why she had decided to stay in Hyattsville, Older-Mondeel replied, “Hyattsville rocks!” She added, “Being able to do the pop-up was a glimpse into basically a fabulous retail location. Older-Mondeel said she knew that eventually they would outgrow the space. Tanglewood Works got its start in 2014 as a place to buy homemade and upcycled furniture and goods - “Where upcycling and art connect.” Their first home was at Community Forklift, on Edmonston’s Tanglewood Drive. When she owned a cafe in the San Francisco Bay Area, Older-Mondeel thought of her cafe as a “third place” for people: “It’s about having a place to go that’s not home or work.” A self-proclaimed “serial entrepreneur,” Older-Mondeel is done with running cafes (“I’ll let Vigilante do that.”) but is dedicated to creating a space that nourishes community: “I still retain that desire to be a hostess for ‘the third place.’” She said her vision is for the Baltimore Avenue store to become such a place. for Best Handmade Home Decor, moved a step closer to Older-Mondeel’s vision of it becoming a “third place.” Tanglewood Works, recipient of first place honors in the 2016 Washington City Paper ’s Readers’ Choice Best of D.C. ![]() CAN a beer be made with JUST Sabro hops?

I liked it, for the most part, but I am unsure that I would want a steady diet of this one. That was CANpletely & totally unexpected. Finish had a surprising return of coconut dominance! Wow. That is why, when the used to make them, I always set aside the coconut ones in a roll of Tropical Fruit Life Savers - all of the other flavors (mango, tangerine, pineapple, guava, passion fruit) went well together, but coconut was to be savored all by itself. It had an amalgam of tropical fruit flavors, but I just felt that the citrusy flavors were not meshing well with the aforementioned coconut. The taste was not as pleasant as on the nose. Color was a downright cloudy solid-Amber (SRM = > 7, < 9). I made some casseroles that were really tasty & the kitchen smelled much like this beer! Yum. I used to put dried, shredded coconut into a LOT of baked dishes before baking them in the oven & not just desserts. Nose was redolent with coconut! 8=O I love coconut, although I know that not everyone does. It puffed up mightily to form just over two fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, tawny head with great retention. 8=( Once the vent was vented, I wented with a slow, gentle C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass.

Even better, this is from a Slimline CAN in support of The CANQuest (tm)!įrom the CAN: "There’s nothing quite like your first taste. Today is the ocCANsion of Sixpoint Me the Way to New Beer Sunday (Week 749) & this shall be the first of my triumphal return, having been forced to sit out last week.
