From a press release:
“On Saturday, October 26th from 1-4pm join the DC Brewers’ Guild for the first Real-ly Local Ale Festival at Eckington Place for an outdoor festival in support of DC’s local craft beer industry. Guests will enjoy unlimited tastes of locally brewed Real Ale and purchase bites from local food makers, participate in beer trivia, and learn about the brewing process.
Real Ale is brewed from traditional ingredients, matured by secondary fermentation in the container, such as a cask, from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide.

All proceeds from the festival will go to supporting the DC Brewers’ Guild. Craft Beverage Producers are good for our city and are essential to our local identity. Their taprooms and restaurants serve as “third places” – neighborhood amenities or gathering places and anchors, each with its own unique individual character that centers and supports other communities. According to the Brewers Association’s 2021 economic impact survey, the DC Craft Breweries contributed $193M to the local economy and created 1,401 jobs; having a local craft beer industry provides another avenue of trade labor in our city. The owners of these manufacturing businesses sit on Main Streets boards and the boards of other local non-profits.”
