SNALLYGASTER 2026 is Saturday!!

By Prince Of Petworth

“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…)

See You at the PoPville 20th Anniversary Party Thursday Night!!

By Prince Of Petworth

Last reminder before we finally tip back some of these magnificent PoPville beers brewed by Atlas Brew Works – A Helles Lager, “Light and crisp, with notes of zesty citrus and lemongrass.”

So here’s the fun planned – the party kicks off at 6pm upstairs at Moreland’s Tavern (5501 14th Street, NW) besides beer there will be food available to order. But if you want to grab a bite before that works too – but try to make sure you arrive by 7pm because that’s when I sit down for a fun chat with Austin Graff when we will chat about 20 years of neighborhood blogging and neighborhoods in general and blogging in general and more! We will chat from 7-7:30 and then have some Q&A for 20/25 minutes. Then we recommence quaffing some PoPville beers! So if you just want to drink/hang out and don’t want to hear me pontificate – plan on coming around 8pm. I plan on staying on my feet until 10pm. With the beer being a crisp 4.9% ABV, I’m confident I can make it! Hope you can make it too, we will have fun celebrating two decades of the beautiful life!!

There will be TWO very special and very limited edition t-shirts available!

Of course there will be other libations to imbibe as well 😂

AND for those who have been asking there will be 6-packs of the PoPville beer available for purchase to go at Moreland’s. At this event the beer will also be available on tap! (more…)
