From a press release:
“Urban Garden Brewing will open the doors to its first permanent home, Urban Garden Brewhouse, on Friday, June 19, 2026, with a Juneteenth grand opening celebration in Shaw. Founded by brewer, hospitality professional, and native Washingtonian Eamoni Collier, Urban Garden Brewing is recognized as D.C.’s first Black woman-owned brewery. The Juneteenth opening marks a major milestone for the company and a meaningful return to the former Right Proper Brewing space, where Collier spent eight years working earlier in her career.
The celebration begins at 1 PM with an official ribbon cutting, followed by a full day of beer, live Go-Go music by N2L Band, arcade games, and family-friendly programming. Opening weekend will continue on Saturday, June 20, with a brunch party at Urban Garden Brewhouse. (more…)
