Celebrate DC Beer Week on Capitol Hill

static1.squarespaceDC Beer Week is back and there are a ton of events happening right in our neighborhood. If you haven’t participated in the past, the week-long event aims to educate consumers about “good beer” through events and seminars all over the region. It’s “a celebration of good beer in the National Capital Region from conception to consumption and everyone and everything in between.”

We’re fortunate to have a number of excellent local breweries, and they are all included in the celebration. You can see all of the events here, and the Capitol Hill area events below. And because everything is more fun with a hashtag, follow @DCBEERWEEK on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and add the hashtag #DCBW2015 to your posts.

Monday

@SamuelAdamsBeer Tap Takeover at @CapLounge

5pm at Capitol Lounge (229 Pennsylvania SE Washington, DC 20003): “Listen up: this beer is wicked good. Join us as we celebrate New England’s largest brewery and the US’s largest Craft Brewery. We’ll be pouring Fat Jack Double Pumpkin, The Sphinx, Verloren Gose, & Harvest Saison.”

@PortCityBrew BA ONE @DublinerPubDC

5pm at The Dubliner (address): “If you didn’t get a chance to try Port City’s very first barrel-aged beer at our Tasting Room, please come try it at our partner’s restaurants on Monday, August 10. Here’s the lowdown: we collaborated with our great friends and supporters of local beer at Sixth Engine, the Dubliner and Town Hall to make a Woodford Reserve Barrel Aged version of our GABF winner Colossal ONE. This Belgian-style imperial stout is incredibly delicious on it’s own, but the aromas and flavors of oak, coconut, and whiskey take it to the next level. Don’t miss this one time tapping… this beer, as it currently is, will never be made again!”

6:30pm at Boundary Road (414 H Street Northeast): Ever have a beer that didn’t taste quite right, but you couldn’t say why? Never again!

Hear from local and national figures on the pressing beer issues of the day and where legislative attention is currently being placed. Last year’s panel focused on the success of DC’s nascent pint law, what other policies are on the table that could expand, or contract, the reach of small breweries?” First come, first served seating; beer and food ordered a la carte.
