A Celebration of Breweries From

1517 Connecticut Avenue NW • In the Bar
Washington DC 20036
Representatives from DC Brau, Evolution Craft Brewing, Lost Rhino Brewing, and Hop & Wine Beverage will join us to answer questions about our featured brews. We will be serving individual 7-oz. tasting pours ($4 each) and four themed flights. Each flight is a group of three 7-oz. pours ($10) with two flights featuring a selection from each of the DMV breweries.
Featured Beers ($4 per 7-oz. taste):
DC Brau Brewing Company (DC):
The Tradition: A special-release golden ale brewed in collaboration with DC United, this selection is a low ABV, low-hopped ale, perfect for a summer session or tailgate outside RFK Stadium.
Heurich’s Lager: A collaboration between DC Brau, the Heurich House Museum, and DC Homebrewers, this special release is a historical recreation of Christian Heurich Brewing Company’s pre-prohibition classic American Pilsner.
Evolution Craft Brewing Company (MD):
Lot #3 India Pale Ale: This American style IPA is aggressively hopped at a rate of over 2 lbs. per barrel. Big notes of citrus and pine compliment a reserved, but firm malt backbone.
Lot #6 Double IPA: Think of this as Lot #3 on performance-enhancing malt and hops. At 9.3% ABV, this beer is loaded with tropical fruit and citrus notes. It is deep gold in color with assertive bitterness, and a big hop flavor and aroma.
Lost Rhino Brewing Company (VA):
Face Plant India Pale Ale: This American style IPA is dominated by the flavor of whole cone Cascade and Centennial Hops. Unfiltered and amber in color, this ale has a penetrating herbal mouth feel and pleasing floral nose backed by Pale, Vienna, and Crystal malts.
It’s Not My Falt Altbier: This limited release is a German-style brown ale with a chocolate sweetness and spicy finish. Don’t let the murky pour fool you, this is one delicious offering!

Details: Described as a match made in liquid heaven, this event combines coffee and beer, two favorites of New Belgium’s Master Blender and Sensory Specialist Lauren Salazar. The event is a special collaboration between New Belgium, Tryst and Counter Culture Coffee. For one night only, Tryst will serve a very special barrel of New Belgium blended sour ale with Counter Culture cold brew. Lauren will be on-site to discuss the blend and celebrate her passion for these ingredients. She summarized her excitement for this project with these three words: “It’s my Christmas.”
Continuing efforts to capitalize on Washington, DC’s large community of cycling enthusiasts, build friendships with like-minded individuals, and explore our nation’s capital, DC Bike Party will hold “D.C. Bike Party: TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!”, a big fat Greek bike party. The playlist, which will be blasted through the massive SoundBike DC, includes tunes chosen by D.C. Bike Party participants via a collaborative playlist and includes the Animal House favorite “Shout!” among many others. Participants are encouraged to wrap themselves up in a toga and sport gold leafed growns when dressing for the event—think “THIS IS SPARTA” mixed with John Belushi’s infamous toga party. DC Bike Party, which held its first ride in July 2012, grew to over 650 riders in July for its one-year anniversary birthday party ride.
The group, departing from DuPont Circle, will set out to complete an approximately 8-mile ride, visiting some of the city’s major landmarks and attractions with a pit stop on Capitol Hill before ending with a celebration at Bardo Brewpub on Baldensburg Road. The bar will offer beer specials all night for DC Bike Party participants who rock a helmet the entire after party.
A map of the complete route will be available at DCBikeParty.com 24 hours before the ride. Riders are welcome to join or depart the group at any point—many riders use Capital Bikeshare.
Everyone is welcome to attend or participate. Full details on the event are below:
