“on Pennsylvania Ave NW in the shadow of the Capitol. There are two entrances for Snallygaster: 7th & Pennsylvania and 3rd & Constitution.”

“Snallygaster is the District’s biggest & beastliest beer festival, bar none. And, on October 10th, the merry monster makes its triumphant return to DC for its 14th year as a rollicking tribute to the wonderful world of craft beer. Festival goers can expect a mind-boggling selection of 450 highly sought-after brews on draft from nearly 175 of the finest American and international producers set against a backdrop of local food trucks and two stages of live music.

Brought to you by the minds behind DC’s Bluejacket, ChurchKey, The Sovereign, Shelter and more, this is far and away the biggest event of the year for beer geeks of every stripe.

Tickets available here.

And here’s the traffic advisory: (more…)

This bill would increase transparency in real property listings and establish new consumer protections for renters and homebuyers. (more…)
