“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 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?
