It's a quiet week for beer events, as we let the dust of New Year's revelry settle before taking on the New Year in beer. A few events will likely pop up as the week progresses, so check back (or just subscribe already) to see updates on the D.C. Beer Events Calendar. Tonight, take the Beerspotter's [...]
If the other bubbly beverage, beer, is what you prefer to toast this New Year's, you are in luck. Below is a run down of the week in beer with a list of places for beer geeks to ring in the new year with craft beer. For more details about any event, click on it [...]
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. [...]
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. They had heard rumblings that the Dupont Circle institution, the place that pioneered the craft beer movement in D.C., had been sold. More [...]
It's last call for D.C. Beer Week with the final batch of events tonight and a few stragglers over the weekend. Below are some notes on the events that caught our eye. Check out the full list after the jump and let us know which ones are getting your drool going in the comments section. [...]
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 [...]

Beer Week, a celebration that will feature craft beer focused events and specials at bars and restaurants starting this Friday, August 20, and running through Saturday, August 28. There are already over 40 special events planned for the second annual city-wide craft beer festival. Your [...]
It's Monday, which means it's time for our weekly post of opportunities for organized beer fun. Below is a quick list, but click on an event in the calendar above for details. (Those of you who scroll ahead and get a peak at what's in store for D.C. Beer Week later this month.) This week [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
