Free beer for SOTUesday

For most D.C. folks, State of the Union night means road closures and watch parties.

Long story short: Do drink but don't drive, especially around Capitol Hill.

The intrigue: Penn Social near downtown is pouring free beer at its watch party as part of a "civic experiment."

• The complimentary drinks stop flowing when the first insult is hurled at a person, group or country.
• Prediction: It won't last long — sip quickly.

As always, Union Pub, Cap Hill's "political sports bar," is another SOTU headquarters with some big deals.
