More than 60 of the beers have already been released with new additions being released regularly leading up to the event. Visit www.snallygasterdc.com for the latest.

Malmaison, the Georgetown waterfront warehouse turned modern event space, will be the scene of the intimate, costumed soiree ushering an end to summer.
Around 8pm on September 17th, Georgetown’s Malmaison event space will come alive with revelers in costumes, burlesque, live body painting, belly dancing, immersive art and more. The event, entitled Boudoir Bohème, will have a bevy of roaming live performers, and a DJ to move the venue’s guests with rhythmic world grooves.
Boudoir Bohème:
“A night where standard conventions and behaviors are thrown out the door, where everyone is an artist, and is free to be whoever they wish. We invite you to escape.. indulge in the intimate and exotic.. travel across oceans without ever having to leave… take on a new name.. become your alter ego..”
Boudoir Bohème is a costumed soiree, inspired by the Battle of Hernani, Romanticism and Bohemians of 19th Century Paris. Although called a battle, the Battle of Hernani was actually an altercation which lasted several days between members of the bourgeoisie, or Classicals, and those of the Romantic movement which were made up of young artists, writers and painters. The Classicals who were considered the old guard establishment or status quo, enjoyed traditional ideals, literature and social norms; while the Romantics emphasized individualism, nature and imagination as a basis point, and embraced spontaneity and artistic emotion in their works and life.
The altercation took place during the opening night of Victor Hugo’s play Hernani, which was itself considered a radical attack on the established order. The ‘Romantic Army” attended the production in outlandish clothing, mocking the wealthy and mainstream, and were later remembered by Hugo as: “…wild whimsical characters, bearded, long-haired, dressed in every fashion except the reigning one, in pea-jackets, Spanish cloaks, in waistcoats a la Robespierre, in Henry III bonnets…and this in the middle of Paris in broad daylight”.
Boudoir Bohème is a celebration of creative freedoms and expression.. a night of mischief and immersive performances, where live music, dancing barefoot and intimate rituals are the norm. The night’s performers include:
DC legend and deep house pioneer Enea Diotaiuti who will be spinning a web of tantric music. His sets are known to put audiences in a tranquil yet manic trance, unique to his blend of modern yet instinctive melodies.
New York’s Danger Dame, Veronica Varlow brings her sensual mix of mesmerizing song and dance to the evening’s festivities. Referred to as a “modern-day Marlene Dietrich” Varlow has performed internationally and was recently named one of the 12 “Hottest Ladies of Burlesque” alongside such icons as Bettie Page, Lili St. Cyr and Sherry Britton. She has been featured on the Tonight show, Asylum Magazine and the New York Daily News.

Via the art and spectacle of dance, The Love Show, a theatrical dance company based in Brooklyn, weaves cabaret, ballet, rock, comedy and theater into creative performances. The Love Show has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, and TONY, as well as The New York Times.
