Just moved to D.C. from Canada, any advice on places here or nearby? Been to Churchkey and Right Proper is close by where I live.

Go to Bluejacket. Check out DC Brau on Saturday’s during growler hours. If you can drive, check out Port City and Forge Brew Works in Northern VA.

We are having a tasting right now, actually, in McLean. We try to do them once a month. We discuss potential dates in the Mid-Atlantic forum, and then post the actual date as a calendar event. We’re discussing our annual epic sour tasting now.

Of course, you should hit the breweries for free beer, sometimes food trucks, sometimes music, every Saturday - at Atlas, 3 Stars, DC Brau and Chocolate City.

That’s awesome dude, I moved out of DC but will be back in May/June. The local tasting group above is the jam, definitely get to know everyone. Also, the GM at Churchkey is a ratebeerian, craftycarl21. Should get to know him as well.

Just hang out with the guys who have already posted here, and you’ll be fine.

Well, except drowland. I’m not sure the scene is too hot in his neck of the woods.

You should be able to get a jumbo slice after you are good and buzzed for under 6 dollars.

Awesome, thanks for the tips and pointers guys! I’m sure I’ll run into you somewhere soon! And wait, Travlr - free beer at the breweries on Saturdays? What’s the catch?

No catch, they’re just not allowed to sell samples. So they will give you a taste (4 oz or so) of whatever beers they have on, and you can buy growlers/cans/bottles.
Not enough to get wasted, so no need for Jumbo Slice.
