From Roofers Union:

“We are turning 5 this February and throwing a week long party to celebrate! Each day, we will feature a few of our favorite dishes from year one along with a different vintage beer, beginning with a 2013 on Monday through a 2019 on Sunday! These are the most epically exciting beers we’ve been able to stash away since we opened! Additionally, we will extend the cellar list to 100 bottles ~ offering each at half price all week long!

Be sure to join us Sunday, 2/10 for our official Anniversary Party. We will provide some of our favorite snacks from the past 5 years and all draft beers will be sold at $6 (even leftover epic vintage options). We could not have made it to this point without the love and support of our guests, this is our opportunity to show our thanks!

“I got a little tour of the soon to be open Red Bear Brewing Co. They hope to open in February some time and host some pop ups for food while people drink. They also have a huge selection of board games to keep people occupied. Looks to be a huge addition to NoMa and the Uline Arena.” (more…)


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. (more…)

From a press release:

“This November, The Berliner (3401 Water Street NW), a new scratch-made wurst and beer garden opens near the Georgetown waterfront in the space formerly occupied by neighborhood mainstay Malmaison.

The Berliner will also feature 24 beers on tap with a variety of domestic, international and seasonal brews ranging from larger producers to to smaller German breweries rarely found on U.S. menus.
