TBD - Womxn’s Brew Culture Club Beery Godmother Collaboration Party
LaTreace Harris joined us for Snallygaster, and while she was in town, we did a lil’ beer collab at Right Proper. With the amazing help of Mike Stein of Lost Lagers and Josh Chapman of Right Proper, we gathered for a fun morning of brewing. Lost Lagers found the historical recipe, and the team went to work creating our first collaboration beer. Though only few of the WBCC folks joined the brew day with The Beery Godmother (space was TIGHT), we want to invite all of the WBCC friends to the release party. We are still confirming the date, but will either be the weekend of Nov. 16th or 23rd. As soon as we have that locked in, we will make an announcement and create an event invite.
So please, if you want to come out to celebrate, mark your calendars for both weekends.
Come join us for a fun evening at Atlas Brew Works Ivy City Brewery & Taproom for our November Beer Share event! This event is free for all of our DC Beer Members. All other attending guests will be able to sign up for our Patreon on the spot to join the festivities or provide a $5 donation. This is your chance to swap and taste a variety of delicious craft beers with fellow beer enthusiasts. Bring your favorite brews to trade or simply come to enjoy the beers others bring. It's a great opportunity to connect with the local beer community and discover new flavors. Don't miss out on this exciting event!

Staff picks on the local events (and beer) going on this month.
November 1 - Streetcar 82 Rye Whiskey Barrel-aged Barleywine release. “Beer release this Friday on tap and in cans to go! Proceeds from this beer will go toward the rehabilitation project of National Capital Trolley Museum's next Washington PCC car! This project requires a total overhaul of motor truck assemblies and wheels. With rebuilt motor truck assemblies and wheels, one of the unrestored Washington PCC cars can easily be moved in and out of the Museum's facility!”
November 2 - Baltimore Craft Beer Festival! Definitely one of our favorite beer events every year. The MD brewery line up is stellar and everyone has a blast. This year they will be partying in a new location, but expect the same outdoor fall fun with tons of local vendors, food, music and of course BEER! AND WE ARE GIVING AWAY VIP TICKETS!!!!
