It has been a month since SAVOR and the week-long craft beer celebration it brings with it took over D.C. bars and restaurants, and it has taken The Lagerheads about that long to recuperate. This weekend the annual Brewers Association beer and food pairing event was featured in a CBS News report on the growing [...]

Of the 70 breweries pouring at Savor on Saturday, one of the highlights was Saint Somewhere Brewing, from Tarpon Springs, Florida. The one-man brewery is an anomaly on the American craft beer scene, producing only saisons, the spicy, lively farmhouse ales of the Belgian countryside. And "one-man" isn't a figure of speech; founder Bob Sylvester [...]

François Haeringer tested his last sauce on Tuesday. What a terrible week for fans of the local restaurant scene. First Inox closes, then Roberto Donna admits to embezzling tax money from Arlington County, and finally the great chef François Haeringer passes away at age 91, working right to the end. You were clicking like mad [...]

That's right, our D.C. Beer Events Calendar shows ten goings-on going on today, the day before Savor. The good news is, the events are pretty spread out, ranging from Alexandria to Columbia Heights. The bad news is, you have to choose. For me, the must-see event is the meet-and-greet with Sierra Nevada founder Ken Grossman, [...]

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 [...]

Craft beer fans in the District have hit the motherload. As SAVOR, the Brewers Association craft beer and food pairing event approaches this weekend, great brewers and beers from across the country are descending upon D.C. all week. While most breweries are in town for the sold-out shindig at the National Building Museum Saturday night, many are [...]

People, what are you doing reading this? It's Memorial Day. It's gorgeous outside. Get off the computer and fire up the grill. Or take a walk. Go to the park with your kids and your dog. Eat something good. Who cares what the top five items were last week on the Young & Hungry blog? [...]

Interest in craft beer grows each year. Everyday more people experience that "eureeka moment," discover how flavorful beer can be, and are hooked for life. Although a higher percentage of those people are men, the ranks of women becoming interested in beer and brewing is steadily growing. In November we wrote about notable women in the [...]

It's that time of year again. SAVOR is coming to town and with the national craft beer and food pairing event comes a week-long beer party for D.C. Tickets sold out in record time this year, but thanks to the local bars, restaurants, and distributors who take advantage of so many talented brewers being in [...]
