It’s our first podcast! Aaron, Bill, and John discuss our thoughts on SAVOR ticketing and what’s different about it this year. Then, we share and break down a bottle of 3 Stars’ final 2014 Illuminati Reserve Club release before hopping into a discussion about blind tasting, especially in light of the results of our Blind & Boozy event at Scion and this year’s Washington Post’s Beer Madness competition. Plus, we take a reader question and all the typical waffle you’d expect from a bunch of beer nerds talking fermentables. Cheers!

The DCBeer.com Podcast: Episode 1

Welcome back, friends! Aaron, Bill, and Chris go long this week on a potentially contentious subject: what is the best brewery in the D.C. area? The editors ask Aaron about the rationale behind his choice of Bluejacket as this year’s Washington City Paper Best Brewery, the guys discuss the differences (or lack thereof) between brewpubs and breweries, we assess the District’s brewing parity, and Aaron gets to turn the tables and ask Bill and Chris for their favorites. What will they pick? You’ll have to listen and find out. Cheers!

The DCBeer.com Podcast: Episode 2

Ever wondered how different cities’ beer scenes compare to D.C.? So did we. In this episode, we’re introducing a new series in which we look at another city and see how Washington squares up. This week, Aaron, Bill, and John discuss Austin: how its scene compares to ours, our favorite drinks and bars in town, the availability of the vaunted Jester King, and the ways that the weirdness that Austin is well known for surfaces in its beer culture (like the amazing way Casino El Camino serves their High Life). Do any of us think drinking in Austin is better than D.C.? Tune in and find out.

The DCBeer.com Podcast: Episode 3

We’re back! After a brief break for some travel (just like what we talked about in Episode 3!), Aaron and Bill get together to talk about what we think about when we purchase beer both at a store and at a bar: like what goes through our heads consciously and subconsciously, and the beers that we’ll always buy.

The DCBeer.com Podcast: Episode 4

DC Beer seeks to promote and grow the DC area's craft beer culture through its locally focused beer website and its tasting and educational events.

We do our best to bring our readers information on the latest events, happy hours, beer bar and restaurant openings, and profiles of the many great people making the beer scene possible. We also seek to educate people on the various aspects of beer culture like food and beer pairings, the beer brewing process, clubs, tastings, and all the other exciting things going on in this nascent national movement.

In addition to our website which serves as both a way to document the goings-on and growth of the DC beer scene and as a way to promote it to the city and surrounding areas, DC Beer is also an events business that helps local bars and groups host beer-centric events such as tastings and educational classes.

We hope to keep the website going by providing event planning and promotions services to beer focused bars and restaurants that also want to grow the craft beer scene in DC and its surrounding areas. Beyond that, we offer an extremely focused destination for businesses who want to get their message out to the DC area craft beer drinkers.
