DC Brau

"The District’s history with beer runs deep, but from the 1950s to the early 2000s, DC’s beer business ran dry. DC Brau is the brewery that changed all that in 2011. Head to their Woodridge tasting room with the kids in tow for a casual family outing. Bring food with you, so you can stick around as long as you want working your way through their light shandies and heavy stouts (and avoiding hangry toddler tantrums). " - madeline weinfield

"The brewery is back with its annual Pride-themed beer. This year’s theme — “Totally 202 Pride Pils!” — is brewed in collaboration with Red Bear Brewing and Right Proper. All proceeds will be donated to the Washington Blade Foundation and SMYAL to support the LGBTQIA+ community. The release party was held at Right Proper Brewing Co. in May, and DC Brau debuted Pride Pils in 2017." - Evan Caplan

"When D.C. Brau opened in 2009, it claimed the honor of being the city’s first packaging brewery since 1956. DC Brau is perhaps best known for its flagship hoppy brews: The Public American pale ale, the hazy Joint Resolution IPA and The Corruption IPA. Brewery visitors can get tastes of the rest of the standard lineup as well as seasonal and one-off creations. Swing by the 50,000-square-foot mega facility’s taproom and outdoor beer garden from Fridays to Sundays, with curbside pickup available starting on Thursday." - Travis Mitchell, Tierney Plumb

"On Saturday, June 11, DC Brau’s Northeast beer garden hosts a WERQ Pride Party & Drag Show (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.); each $15 ticket includes its 5th annual Pride Pils can. This year’s winning design by Chord Bezerra of District Co-Op counters the harmful message of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Donations and proceeds go to The Blade Foundation and SMYAL." - Evan Caplan
