Bluejacket is a brewery in a glass building by Nationals Park in Navy Yard, and most people who weigh in recommend it. Several praise the beer, with one citing its lagers and another its cask ales, and a few note its closeness to the ballpark. One praises the schnitzel and another the tots. One found the beers poor on a single visit, one lives nearby and does not see what the praise is about, one calls it just okay, and one calls it more of a brewpub with inconsistent but sometimes excellent beer.
