Brickskeller Chatter: Anticipated Closing Draws Near

It seemed this day was inevitable. The owners of the Brickskeller, who have been looking for a buyer for the venerable tavern and inn on 22nd Street NW near Dupont Circle, may have found one. Details are still sketchy—like whether the Brickskeller name will move to its sibling restaurant/brewpub in Chinatown, Regional Food and Drink. [...]

Tap Lessons: Advice for the Brickskeller’s New Owners

Last week, about 20 drinkers who once considered the Brickskeller home—either because they had worked at the bar or because they practically lived there—dropped by the subterranean saloon for one last taste.

D.C. Beer Week Survival Tips

Standing in the block-long line for the Nerd Nite DC event Friday evening caused The Lagerheads to have a flashback from last year's D.C. Beer Week, where we saw a girl storm out of Cafe Saint-Ex in tears because they had sold out the beer dinner before she got a ticket. No need to get [...]

Crash the Brewers’ Party Tonight at Birreria Paradiso

The night before SAVOR has traditionally (three years' worth anyway) had two big events in D.C. The Lupulin Reunulin at RFD, which is hosted at the Brickskeller this year and called ReunuLess in honor of the absence of several key Lupulin competitors, is as formal as a beer panel and tasting/roast can be with brewers like [...]

Beer Event Picks for Thursday: Odell, Bruery, and Three Floyds

It's more than halfway through the whirlwind week before SAVOR, and if you haven't gotten yourself out to try some special beers, today's the day to do it. The Three Floyds beer dinner at Pizzeria Paradiso is long sold out (surprised?), but today's three remaining events should be calling your name like the first sip [...]
