Grand Opening is Juneteenth:

“Grand opening day is finally here and we hope you can be there to celebrate DC’s FIRST Black Woman-owned brewery! Everyone is welcome to join us in this historical moment as we cut the ribbon and open our doors to the beautiful DMV community. The kitchen will be open and the beer will be flowing! And it wouldn’t be DC if we didn’t have live GoGo music! So please come out on JUNETEENTH to celebrate community, culture, success, and growth. Drink Quality, Stay Rooted!”

And what very well might be my favorite bit:

“Ask us about our pickles 👀🥒

With the purchase of any beverage, enjoy complimentary house pickles.. crisp, tangy, and made in-house.

Feeling snacky?
Our Fried Pickles are served hot with our signature Garden Sauce for just $7. 🌿

Craft beverages. Soulful food. Good vibes.
Now available at Urban Garden Brewhouse!”
