Held on the third Thursday of every month, this two-hour event distills American history through cocktails, while also providing attendees a hands-on class on the art of cocktail making. Led by Jim Hewes, a venerable mixologist and legendary bartender at The Willard’s iconic Round Robin Bar for over thirty years, and featuring rotating historians throughout Washington, D.C., History Happy Hour offers a mixology lesson “straight up” with history “served long”, a perfect pairing for cocktail aficionados and history buffs.
“Every drink tells a story.”   Join us for History Happy Hour!
Hosted in Partnership with: The White House Historical Association: First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy envisioned a restored White House that conveyed a sense of history through its decorative and fine arts. She sought to inspire Americans, especially children, to explore and engage with American history and its presidents. In 1961, the White House Historical Association was established to support her vision to preserve and share the Executive Mansion’s legacy for generations to come.  Supported entirely by private resources, the Association’s mission is to assist in the preservation of the state and public rooms, fund acquisitions for the White House permanent collection, and educate the public on the history of the White House. Since its founding, the Association has given more than $45 million to the White House in fulfillment of its mission. Learn more at whitehousehistory.org.
This is just one of many things to come for the hotel’s bicentennial celebration in 2018! Stay tuned!
History & Hops @ Heurich House Museum
Oct 19 @ 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

On Thursday, October 19 th from 6:30-8:30pm, Greg Kitsock will host History & Hops at the Heurich House Museum, featuring beer from Virginia brewery Heroic Aleworks.

Kitsock, the founding editor of Mid-Atlantic Brewing News and contributing editor of Beer Advocate Magazine, chose to feature Heroic Aleworks at this month’s event. This will be one of the only times the brewery has been served in DC.

Based in Woodbridge, Virginia, Heroic Aleworks was conceived as a geek culture epicenter, comprising of comic books, gaming, and their own comic book universe.

Every beer they create represents a superhero or villain. Their flagship team of heroes is complemented by a supporting, seasonal and special release cast of villains and allies.

Each original character is illustrated by international and local comic artists, whose work is then integrated into an ongoing storyline published online and in limited print editions.

In addition, the museum will be hosting tours focused on the history of the Chr. Heurich Brewing Co., the largest, historic brewery in Washington, DC.

Tickets for this event include drinks, snacks, and tours. To purchase tickets, go to http://bit.ly/HHOct2017.
