Taste She’Brew Triple IPA at Compass Rose this Week – Live Music by The Beat Fairy Tonight

By Prince Of Petworth

She'Brew Poster

From Compass Rose:

“Our Big Beer Week event! We decided to focus our Beer Week special around an issue close to our hearts at Compass Rose: Women in the Bar and Restaurant Industry. We are a female owned and female run business so we thought it appropriate to introduce D.C. to She’Brew from Shamaltz Brewing Company!

She’Brew: 22oz beer with 11% ABV. Big bottles intended for splitting between two people. The first She’brew Beer is a giant and luscious Triple IPA that pours bright apricot with a silky white head. She’brew hides her strength behind a beautifully balanced, drinkable triple IPA.

For our band special we will have late night happy hour pricing on draft beers and rail cocktails including the He’brew Hop Manna, another great IPA from Schmaltz Brewing.

We will be donating to the Pink Boots Society scholarship fund, a global non-profit that aims to advance women in the beer business. Schmaltz Brewing will also donate proceeds to Girls Inc. of the Greater Capital Region (Albany, NY) whose mission is to inspire all girls to be “Strong, Smart and Bold.” Schmaltz Brewing already supports this cool non-profit through sales of She’Brew. We will be contributing a donation based off of She’Brew sales during all of Beer Week.”

Solea building at 14th and Florida Ave, NW

About a month ago we learned about a petition hoping to block a 7-11 from coming to this corner. At that time Citylab’s Kriston Kapps penned A Petition Against a D.C. 7-11 and the Crypto-Classism of NIMBYism:

“It’s one thing when someone groans about a store he doesn’t like opening in his neighborhood. It’s another when nearly 200 others join him in his call to keep out commercial enterprises that cater to people of lower means. It’s classism.”

Kapps can now back away from the Bastille, a reader tweets us a sign permit for a 7-Eleven at 2300 14th Street, NW:
