D.C.-Made Beers You Have to Try

D.C.’s craft brewery scene is young, but prolific. There are 16 craft breweries in the city, and it’s home to the largest percentage of Black beer brands in the U.S. So where should you start with your tastings? Kim Bender, the CEO of Heurich House and Executive Director of the D.C. Brewers Guild is here with recs. Plus, we’ve got a room full of beer lovers with us at this live taping at Right Proper’s Brookland location.
