Research Notes
- The current beer menu lists 12 beers (the darkest is "I'm a Little Teapot", a 4.7% dry stout) and no porter or Opposites Attract, so there is no beer url.
- DC Beer's May 2025 opening article names Benjamin Mullett (also spelled Mullet) as co-founder and head brewer and gives the address as 1335 H St NE; it mentions no porter.
- Open Brewery DB has no entry for the brewery. A Mid Atlantic Brew News profile appeared in search but returned no readable text.
- Likely a limited or one-off release; no 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Second pass 2026-10-13: Exact-name searches with ABV, Untappd and 2026 GABF produced no matching specifications. The brewery's current beer menu was readable but still did not list Opposites Attract; nothing more was found.
- Field pass 2026-10-13: BeerMenus and retailer searches yielded no matching ABV, IBU, brewery beer page or named hops; previous exact-name searches and brewery menu checks were not repeated.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site was read again; it does not list Opposites Attract.
