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.
