From Snallygaster:

“Snallygaster is the District’s biggest & beastliest beer festival, bar none. And, on October 11th, the merry monster makes its triumphant return to DC for its 13th year as a rollicking tribute to the wonderful world of craft beer. Festival goers can expect a mind-boggling selection of over 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. (more…)

From DC Brau:

“DC Brau, the pioneering craft brewery that has been redefining the beer scene in the nation’s capital since 2011, is thrilled to introduce its latest creation: Dueling Grounds Vienna Lager. This bold new addition to the DC Brau lineup brings rich malt character and a perfectly balanced finish, offering beer lovers an exciting new way to experience local craft brewing at its finest.

Just a stone’s throw from DC Brau lies the infamous Colmar Manor Dueling Grounds, where Washington’s elite once settled scores with pistols in hand. Known as ‘The Dark and Bloody Grounds,’ it saw duels rage on—even after Congress outlawed them in 1839—until the eve of the Civil War. Honor demands satisfaction, and so does your thirst! (more…)
