First Runnings is an interview series at the Heurich House, hosted by Phil Runco.
Phil Runco will lead a discussion of all things current in the beer industry: the good, the bad, and the unexpected on Thursday, September 24th from 6-7pm. Every brewery in the nation has been deeply affected by COVID-19 and some have pivoted in completely unique ways.
Usually Phil would ask the hard hitting questions in home of DC’s Historic Brewmaster, Christian Heurich, but due to local guidelines, we’ll hold this event virtually – with the option to live stream it with us during our Castle Garden happy hour, 1921.
On Thursday, September 24 from 6pm – 8pm, Lead Distillery Operator Andrew Henderson and National Whiskey Guardian Angel Teta, will walk guests through a flight of Angel’s Envy Bourbon, Rye, and the rarely spotted New Make.
$22 per person will gives access to the Zoom tasting (limited to 20 participants), 1 ounce pours of each expression and Angel’s Envy swag.
For every social media post using #ToastTheTrees, Angel’s Envy will a new white oak tree. Learn more about the campaign at www.angelsenvy.com/toast-
