The latest installment of craft beer mania is upon us in the form of the city’s sixth annual DC Beer Week. Today through Sunday, local breweries, bars, and restaurants will play host to over 100 events focused on drinking and learning about craft beer. Below are our picks for the best foamy fun the week has to offer.

MONDAY

Dogfish Head Dazed & Infused at Scion, 5 p.m.

Dupont Circle’s Scion Restaurant will feature 30 different brews from Dogfish Head, including 10 beers infused with ingredients like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, jalapeños, and kimchi (not all in the same beer, luckily). All brews will be $3 off, and free glassware will be handed out while supplies last.

Craft of Comedy at The Big Hunt, 7 p.m.

Flying Dog, Altas Brew Works, Lagunitas, and Ommegang beers will be the backdrop to an evening of local stand-up comics at The Big Hunt presented by Sean Joyce, founder of Underground Comedy. No advance tickets necessary, and beers are pay-as-you-go. Raffle tickets for a chance to win prizes from each brewery will be given with each brew purchase.

TUESDAY

10,000^th Beer Tasting Celebration with Intangible Ales at Bluejacket, 4 p.m.

Bluejacket and Intangible Ales of south-central Pennsylvania have created a special beer to celebrate local beer enthusiast Gene Bonventre reaching 10,000 beer reviews on Ratebeer.com. The beer is a 4.9 percent alcohol sour saison with French Aramis, Chinook, and Citra hops. Two wine barrel-aged versions, one white and one red, will also be poured.

DC Brau and 3 Stars Battle of the Barrel-Aged Beers at Boundary Stone, 5 p.m.

Decide which of DC Brau’s and 3 Stars’ barrel-aged brews are the best at Boundary Stone. The beer with the most pours ordered for the night wins. With options like DC Brau’s On the Wings of Armageddon Double IPA in a Caledonia gin barrel and 3 Stars’ Pandemic Porter in a Woodford Reserve bourbon barrel, it should be a close race.
