July dispatch

It's Getting Hot in HERE. Cool off with BEER!

Hey beer friends and fam, happy July! It looks like it decided to get hot for the summer all of a sudden. Luckily, we know what can keep you cool as a cucumber.

We know a lot of folks are traveling during the summer months, so we’ll be slowing down a bit as well. Let’s all have the summers we deserve with vacations, frozen drinks and thirst quenching beer. We’ll be skipping the “formal” WOMXN’s BREW CULTURE CLUB meet and greet gathering this month, and will replace it with a low key WBCC beer share, date to be determined, so keep an eye out for that info and announcement. We’ll of course keep feeding you beer events, news and photos, and celebrating the July Beer Share at Right Proper in Brookland. Don’t miss our July share, otherwise we’ll be seeing you in August. Until then, Cheers!
