Another D.C. Beer Week? Yes, Please.

Update: Through some legal snafu, Brew at the Zoo will not be technically affiliated with D.C. Beer Week. All events are still on, though. For beer drinkers, this mostly means that you won't see them listed on the same poster.

The Lagerheads piqued our interest earlier about a potential D.C. Beer Week in August that would culminate with Brew at the Zoo on August 20.

It's official now: The festivities will run from Aug. 16 to 21, and so far 15 tastings, happy hours, meet-the-brewers, food pairings, and plain old drinking parties have been announced. There's lots of H Street NE action, what with one of the organizers being Teddy Folkman of Granville Moore's. Brew at the Zoo still seems like the main event, but The party ends on Friday with a Nats game featuring a discount for Beer Week attendees. (They're playing the Milwaukee Brewers, natch.)

Here are the full listings. You will want to bookmark this sucker because there will be updates. The Web site's not finished, but they're also Facebookin' (sorry, federal employees).
