Capitol City’s Oktoberfest Beer Selections:
Cursed Gourd – brewed with chocolate, honey, and crystal malts and flaked oats for a smooth finish. Brown sugar, cinnamon, clover, ginger, nutmeg and allspice are all in the boil in addition to 150 lbs. of “gourd-y” goodness.
Cursed Gourd – A hearty spin on a traditional Marzen, this copper beer is packed with six kinds of malt and noble hops. Our blend of beechwood-smoked barley and oak-smoked wheat gives a pleasant smoky character that is ideal with brats, bacon, or any grilled meats. Recommended in The Washingtonian as one of “Five Oktoberfest Beers to Try Near Washington!”
Oktoberfest Lager – An easy- drinking fall lager, brewed with Munich, Abbey, and Carahell malt, then moderately hopped with noble German hops.  Full and complex malt profile, lovely copper hue; perfect for the festival season!

Diana Henry Signs Book ‘SIMPLE: Effortless Food, Big Flavor’ @ La Cuisine
Oct 1 @ 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM

James Beard Award-winning British author of A Bird in the Hand and Sunday Telegraph food columnist Diana Henry returns to La Cuisine in Alexandria, VA to promote her new book, SIMPLE: Effortless Food, Big Flavor – a gorgeous collection of 150 no fuss, flavor-packed recipes with influences from around the globe.

“The dishes in Simple are the kind I cook every day. They’re interesting – from all over the globe – and have lots of flavour, but they’re not taxing. There are recipes for Wednesday night suppers for the family and Sunday lunches – the lazy sort! – for friends. What we’re really short of when it comes to every day cooking is ideas – and that’s what I’ve given in Simple. Lots of them.”

Location:  La Cuisine, 323 Cameron Street Alexandria, Virginia 22314-3219
