D.C. Beer Week has arrived in full force. Over 30 different venues across the District have scheduled an impressive list of nearly 50 events celebrating craft beer in a variety of unique ways. The Y&H beer bloggers will be posting our picks each day, but below is a complete list of known events. Some items may change and surprises are likely to be announced throughout the week, so for the most up-to-date info visit DCBeerWeek.com.
As always, for details on any event click on it in our D.C. Beer Events Calendar above. You will find addresses, times, prices, and menu descriptions conveniently located there instead of below (because re-typing all that info for 50 events would have taken us all of D.C. Beer Week). If you hear of something that is not in our list, please share the (beer) love and post about it in the comments section. We’ll see you out there!
