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-

ABOUT WALT WILKINS (www.waltwilkins.com):
Songwriter, singer, traveler, troubadour – the calling I answered, the life I chose, the way I make my way. I chose to go full time on this road 25 years ago. Its been a spiritual quest, an amazing trip, at turns heartbreaking & transcendent.
In that time I’ve made 9 solo records, 4 records with The Mighty Mystiqueros, 1 with my wife Tina, and there’s a new live record with my friend Kevin Welch. I’ve had 100 or more songs recorded by other artists, traveled a fair part of the world, and had some very, very large times.I get to work with some inspiring artists on their records, most often with the coolest cat on the field, Ron Flynt, at his Jumping Dog Studio in Austin.
ABOUT MARC DOUGLAS BERARDO (www.marcdouglas.com):
Rhode Island based Marc Douglas Berardo is a hardworking, fast moving, adventure seeking, keen observer who lives for the story and the song. No Depression Magazine called his latest CD Whalebone: “a highly polished personal collection with songs that are on the delicate trapeze of poignancy.” He has been nationally recognized for his music and performances (Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Song contest, Telluride Troubadour Contest, Sisters Folk Festival, 2013 Rams Head Onstage Rammie for Show of the Year).
He has opened for the stage with heavyweights such as The Doobie Brothers, The Pousette Dart Band, Jimmy Lafave, Martin Sexton, 10,000 Maniacs, Red Molly, John Hiatt, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Buffalo Springfield, Kevin Welch, Lucy Kaplansky, David Olney, Kim Richey, Will Kimbrough and Livingston Taylor. As a member of Chris Berardo and The DesBerardo Band with his brother Chris, Marc has been a part of shows with classic rock acts including Little Feat, The Marshall Tucker Band, Foreigner, Badfinger, Reckless Kelly, America, David Allen Coe, Levon Helm, Dickey Betts and Great Southern and others.
