Because The Real D.C. is Awesome – “Stressed out federal employees, who are furloughed or working without pay, score free liquid therapy.”

From a press release:

“Americans across the country want to help federal workers furloughed or working without pay due to the government shutdown. Taking a pay it forward approach, PayItFurloughed.com provides a unique opportunity for concerned citizens to offer their assistance – one beer at a time.

It couldn’t be simpler. Donors log on to PayItFurloughed.com and choose how many beers they would like to add to the fund: 1, 2, or 6 at $7.50 per beer.

Scoring the beers is equally simple. As long as there are beers available in the fund, federal employees 21+ years older can walk into any participating brewery in the D.C. region. Our initial partners are two of the region’s most well known and highly regarded breweries: Atlas Brew Works (2052 West Virginia Ave. NE #102, Washington, D.C. 20002) and DC Brau Brewing Company (3178-B Bladensburg Rd. NE, Washington, D.C. 20018).

To kickoff this one-of-a-kind fundraiser, we are putting $1,000 into the fund, which will pay for more than 130 beers for federal employees in need of liquid therapy.

PayItFurloughed.com is a collaborative partnership between culinary incubator Mess Hall, food writer Nevin Martell, and app development agency 3Advance. We are frustrated by the lack of leadership in Washington, D.C. and the negative impact the government shutdown is having on hundreds of thousands of our friends, neighbors, and members of our community, as well as local businesses. So we want to step up and help them out as best we can. Free beer is a great way to pick people up when they’re feeling down, while supporting small businesses in the D.C. region experiencing hardships due to the shutdown.”
