WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.780 Welcome everyone to a very special live in person edition. 2 00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.919 The first DC Beer Show of 2025. Woo hoo. 3 00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:11.599 Woo hoo. We're starting a beer 4 00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:15.383 of the month, a collaboration between DC Beer and 5 00:00:15.383 --> 00:00:18.885 The Brew Shop at Arlington. Hi, Julie. What's the first beer of the 6 00:00:18.885 --> 00:00:22.724 month? Hi, Jake. Thanks. We're really excited to be involved in the beer 7 00:00:22.724 --> 00:00:26.485 of the month, program. And the first beer that's been chosen, I believe it 8 00:00:26.485 --> 00:00:29.530 was Mike Stein's pick, this month is from 9 00:00:29.530 --> 00:00:33.370 Sojourn Fermentory, their Midnight dark lager. And I think they 10 00:00:33.370 --> 00:00:36.730 categorized this not as a dark check, but it does lean 11 00:00:36.730 --> 00:00:40.250 check. It's a fantastic and very complex little 12 00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:43.945 beer that we are really excited to have and got to try it last 13 00:00:43.945 --> 00:00:46.905 month, and this is a a brau and a fresh batch. We're really excited to 14 00:00:46.905 --> 00:00:50.665 have it along along with another set from them. We're getting a few other 15 00:00:50.665 --> 00:00:54.420 beers from them in shop with that same drop. They're a young brewery 16 00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:57.060 and they're doing some great stuff on the lager side, and so we're really excited 17 00:00:57.060 --> 00:01:00.820 to have, some new stuff pulled from them. We although this 18 00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:04.420 month, as you know, is dry January for many people, and so we are 19 00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:07.720 looking at a pretty good selection of nonalcoholic beer 20 00:01:08.165 --> 00:01:11.845 and cider and wine and a couple of NA cocktails this 21 00:01:11.845 --> 00:01:15.365 year. So we are looking to help you get through your dry 22 00:01:15.365 --> 00:01:18.885 January and to help you break your dry January at the end of the month 23 00:01:18.885 --> 00:01:22.579 when our 9th birthday happens. So we've got 24 00:01:22.579 --> 00:01:26.420 a lot on the docket for the 9th birthday. I don't wanna 25 00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:29.799 tease too much, but we spent, a lot of time 26 00:01:30.100 --> 00:01:33.860 putting together, cool new brews and and cool drops from 27 00:01:33.860 --> 00:01:37.305 lots of your favorite breweries and lots of our favorite breweries. And we will also 28 00:01:37.305 --> 00:01:40.685 have our collab beer with Ocelot. It is a West Coast IPA, 29 00:01:41.385 --> 00:01:45.225 called Uninterrupted Prosperity that will be releasing at the 30 00:01:45.225 --> 00:01:48.525 shop here on the birthday, which is Friday, January 24th. 31 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.540 Very cool.

Thanks. 44 00:02:37.704 --> 00:02:41.545 Hey, Richard. Hey. What's in your glass tonight? Oh, I 45 00:02:41.545 --> 00:02:44.965 am drinking a delicious beer from Other Half, 46 00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:50.160 That'll be explained shortly. Super Fun. Super fun. Super fun. Super 47 00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:53.860 fun. Super fun, which is an absolutely delicious, 48 00:02:54.160 --> 00:02:57.780 very hoppy, and not too alcoholic 49 00:02:59.055 --> 00:03:02.895 beverage from Other Half, which, is good because I've been drinking for 50 00:03:02.895 --> 00:03:06.115 hours now. And you're gonna find that out in this episode. 51 00:03:06.709 --> 00:03:09.955 Brau, what are you drinking? Well, I'm drinking 52 00:03:10.095 --> 00:03:13.615 Nada, and that doesn't mean nothing. It means a 53 00:03:13.615 --> 00:03:17.380 delicious stout from Other Half. And not just 54 00:03:17.380 --> 00:03:21.140 any stout, it's a near beer stout, which means it 55 00:03:21.140 --> 00:03:24.900 is a an almost NA beer. It's pretty much NA, 56 00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:28.605 but they can't really market it like that. It's less than 5%. And, 57 00:03:28.605 --> 00:03:32.445 you know, I'm a brown beer girl, and it is fooling the 58 00:03:32.445 --> 00:03:36.205 hell out of me. I this I'm on my second glass, which should tell you 59 00:03:36.205 --> 00:03:39.805 something. It is light crisp. It almost reminds me of, like, an oyster 60 00:03:39.805 --> 00:03:43.325 stout with other with a little bit of crispness. It's 61 00:03:43.325 --> 00:03:47.020 not overly rich tasting. Like, it's not 62 00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:50.800 sweet. It's just it it's very drinkable, almost like a sessionable 63 00:03:51.260 --> 00:03:55.040 stout. Mhmm. So very well done Other Half. Thank you for, 64 00:03:55.580 --> 00:03:58.800 treating your brown beer queen things. 65 00:03:59.385 --> 00:04:02.985 Mike, what are you drinking? I bet it's Other Half beer. It is anOther Half 66 00:04:02.985 --> 00:04:06.765 beer. And before I get going, I just wanna say, Brandy, you're our 67 00:04:06.825 --> 00:04:10.665 brown beer girl. Okay. Party's fine. Not 68 00:04:10.665 --> 00:04:13.900 drinking brandy. I have here a Motueka 69 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.880 Snaps, which is a delightful, Japanese style rice 70 00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:21.720 lager, but full of that saturated Motueka goodness. It's like 71 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.460 a little crisp, a little laggery, 72 00:04:25.479 --> 00:04:28.515 very moreish with other hot profile. But then I have 73 00:04:29.055 --> 00:04:32.115 barrel aged cardigans only, a double 74 00:04:32.655 --> 00:04:36.255 pastry or imperial stout. And then I also have barrel 75 00:04:36.255 --> 00:04:39.935 aged snowbirds 8 2 year reserve, which is just 76 00:04:39.935 --> 00:04:43.410 dripping in barrel character. It's full of tannin. It 77 00:04:43.410 --> 00:04:46.710 tastes like a rye barrel, an Oloroso 78 00:04:46.930 --> 00:04:50.770 barrel, and a Scotch whiskey barrel had 79 00:04:50.770 --> 00:04:54.449 a love child, and now I am drinking the drippings of the love 80 00:04:54.449 --> 00:04:57.375 child. Jake Berg, what are you getting into? 81 00:04:57.915 --> 00:05:00.891 Surprisingly, I also have an Other Half beer. 82 00:05:00.891 --> 00:05:04.175 Right me more. Surprisingly, 83 00:05:04.794 --> 00:05:08.495 it's an Other Half IPA. Did you know that they make IPAs 84 00:05:08.555 --> 00:05:12.200 here? Is it is it their thing? It is what they're known for. 85 00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:16.120 We have here not just regular broccoli, one of their 86 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.500 standard double IPAs, but this is triple broccoli, 87 00:05:19.880 --> 00:05:23.525 which I guess means more. More alcohol, more 88 00:05:23.525 --> 00:05:26.885 malt, and way more hops. There's 89 00:05:26.885 --> 00:05:30.345 definitely strata, citra, simco, 90 00:05:30.565 --> 00:05:34.325 and something else going on. It doesn't 91 00:05:34.325 --> 00:05:38.140 have a big burn to it. And I was probably about 3 hours 92 00:05:38.140 --> 00:05:41.980 late and missed, the final keg of, high density hop 93 00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:45.500 charged broccoli, which was my one of my favorite beers of So 94 00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:48.800 good. Last year. So good. You missed the HDHC, 95 00:05:49.340 --> 00:05:53.155 high density half charge, but you've got triple b, triple broccoli, 96 00:05:53.615 --> 00:05:57.075 which has Nelson Saven, Mosaic Strata, 97 00:05:57.135 --> 00:06:00.735 and Simcoe hops. So it's a a dual country. You know, 98 00:06:00.735 --> 00:06:04.170 you've got some hops from down under, and you've got some, 99 00:06:04.250 --> 00:06:07.690 Pacific Northwest hops. Could I 100 00:06:07.690 --> 00:06:11.290 interject and give a big shout out to our sound 101 00:06:11.290 --> 00:06:15.050 guy right, the one and only Reese? We love Reese. Reese. Yeah. 102 00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:18.794 Thanks, Reese. And then a extra, extra special shout out for 103 00:06:18.794 --> 00:06:22.610 my boo. Say hi. Hey, guys. It's Matt from Other 104 00:06:22.634 --> 00:06:26.474 Half. He is letting us come and record in the brew house 105 00:06:26.474 --> 00:06:30.120 of Other Half. So shout out to all the brewers who are 106 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.979 who have silenced their music for us for this little short recording. 107 00:06:34.520 --> 00:06:38.280 I know we don't wanna interrupt beer making. It smells amazing in 108 00:06:38.280 --> 00:06:42.120 here. It does. I if if I if it wasn't cold, I'd be in here 109 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.765 all the time. Indeed. It's quite lovely. Massive shout out 110 00:06:45.925 --> 00:06:49.605 to the magnanimous Other Half manager, Matt Splain.

You know, we reached out to about half a dozen other breweries, and 113 00:06:57.285 --> 00:07:01.070 all of them had something. It was date night. It was brewery deep cleaning, 114 00:07:01.070 --> 00:07:04.910 whatever it was.

I feel like I'm talking so much. Jake is still here. 147 00:09:06.235 --> 00:09:09.995 I promise. Tomorrow is our Women's 148 00:09:10.033 --> 00:09:13.694 Brew Culture Club event for the month. It it was 149 00:09:14.459 --> 00:09:18.220 this this was, this was on me. My fault. But it was kind 150 00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:21.899 of a last minute schedule. As we all know, the 151 00:09:21.899 --> 00:09:25.600 holidays are the biggest blur of the year. So, 152 00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:29.339 I kinda scheduled this last minute. So we're hoping that we get a good crowd 153 00:09:29.339 --> 00:09:33.175 because we usually brau a fantastic crowd in, but we're gonna be 154 00:09:33.175 --> 00:09:36.915 over at Port City. We are doing Virginia tomorrow, and I'm very 155 00:09:36.915 --> 00:09:40.755 happy to be coordinating with Julia over at Port City. And, 156 00:09:41.075 --> 00:09:44.920 I really hope to meet some new Virginia, folks who are 157 00:09:44.920 --> 00:09:48.360 interested in joining the Women's Brew Culture Club or even coming to one event. So 158 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.199 don't forget it's open to women and nonbinary folks who are just interested 159 00:09:52.199 --> 00:09:55.720 in beer nomad matter if you are, a beer 160 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:59.320 aficionado or you're just like, I don't know. Let me try some stuff. You are 161 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.925 welcome. So come on. Cheers. See you tomorrow. Port City, I think it's 162 00:10:02.925 --> 00:10:05.665 12 to 2. 12 to 2. Yeah. Love it. 163 00:10:06.524 --> 00:10:09.885 Mere hours from now, the day before, that's 164 00:10:09.885 --> 00:10:13.500 today, Friday, Lost Nomad is 165 00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:17.180 going to be releasing can of their red 166 00:10:17.180 --> 00:10:20.960 IPA that I believe is brewed with wild yeast 167 00:10:21.100 --> 00:10:24.320 captured in West Africa at DC 168 00:10:24.380 --> 00:10:28.014 Brau. So can release other, Lost Nomad did a couple 169 00:10:28.014 --> 00:10:31.855 batches at City State last summer. Other kinda went 170 00:10:31.855 --> 00:10:35.535 out into very limited distribution around town. They're starting to make a bigger 171 00:10:35.535 --> 00:10:39.375 push. Brow does more contract brewing. It's a bigger brau house 172 00:10:39.375 --> 00:10:42.840 than City State and so that'll be tonight 173 00:10:43.300 --> 00:10:46.680 at Brau in addition to the half price 174 00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:51.080 pint flagships that you know and love from Brau. Half right corruption, 175 00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:54.973 half price public, great. Also, check out this new brau. 176 00:10:55.435 --> 00:10:58.175 The folks are international. They're here and there. 177 00:10:59.515 --> 00:11:03.035 I like Brau IPA a lot and so an IPA with wild 178 00:11:03.035 --> 00:11:06.759 yeast sounds pretty pretty cool. I actually heard 179 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.980 that DC Brau has discontinued their barreling. 180 00:11:11.079 --> 00:11:14.040 I was told who who told me that? Did you tell me that? Or I 181 00:11:14.040 --> 00:11:17.660 did. It is, fact check true. They did not release 182 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.675 a wake up in the future. Their imperial stout this year, 183 00:11:21.975 --> 00:11:25.655 nor did they participate in the battle of the barrel 184 00:11:25.655 --> 00:11:28.955 aged beers last fall at Boundary 185 00:11:29.015 --> 00:11:32.455 Stone. So they're winding down that barrel age 186 00:11:32.455 --> 00:11:36.060 aging program, for this batch of 187 00:11:36.060 --> 00:11:39.820 lost nomad beer, they cultured the strain that, 188 00:11:40.060 --> 00:11:43.820 the lost nomad crew, Pete Zimmerman et al, picked up in 189 00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:47.660 West Africa. They are international, aid workers 190 00:11:47.660 --> 00:11:51.445 and diplomats and such, hence other wandering 191 00:11:51.505 --> 00:11:54.965 nomad part of the equation. They culture themselves up, 192 00:11:55.345 --> 00:11:59.025 some of that yeast, and in it went. So no I'm 193 00:11:59.025 --> 00:12:02.839 excited to have those guys all. No barrels. As you 194 00:12:02.839 --> 00:12:06.279 know, every new beginning comes from another 195 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.959 beginning's end. So we may say goodbye to wake up in the 196 00:12:09.959 --> 00:12:13.560 future, but we'll say hello to brand new projects like, 197 00:12:13.640 --> 00:12:17.435 Lost Nomad and this this new beer we're gonna see from 198 00:12:17.435 --> 00:12:21.195 Brau. Super exciting. Yeah. We're also gonna say 199 00:12:21.195 --> 00:12:24.966 hi, I think, in due time to a new brewery brau 200 00:12:25.355 --> 00:12:29.000 on H Street called Henceforth. Brick and mortar, where the 201 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.360 old school H Street Country Club used to be. What a what a great space. 202 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:36.200 Yeah. Coming forth in the old H Street Country Club 203 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.885 spot. It's really interesting to think about, how far 204 00:12:39.885 --> 00:12:43.405 we've come. I'm gonna circle back to Adam and 205 00:12:43.405 --> 00:12:47.085 Richard launching a pod, which would eventually become the pod 206 00:12:47.085 --> 00:12:50.385 you're listening today, at Hellbender. 207 00:12:51.085 --> 00:12:54.705 If memory serves you, the goal was to launch it at 3 stars, 208 00:12:55.300 --> 00:12:58.740 but the sounds of production or canning or whatever were too damn 209 00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:02.200 loud, and so you went into Hellbender to record. 210 00:13:02.420 --> 00:13:06.100 Yes. So again, this cyclical returning, to the 211 00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:09.705 DC brau scene. Now, unfortunately, 3 stars and hellbender are out of 212 00:13:09.705 --> 00:13:13.385 business, but we've got some a new contract brewer coming out of 213 00:13:13.476 --> 00:13:17.225 brau. We know we've got batches of Soul Mega that are 214 00:13:17.225 --> 00:13:21.019 also coming out of brow. It's very exciting to see the new 215 00:13:21.019 --> 00:13:24.800 things coming. And we've got some new like you mentioned, is it Henceforth 216 00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:28.620 that's the new h Right? And there's other new brick and mortars 217 00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:32.459 opening up. I will say Henceforth, the first time I 218 00:13:32.459 --> 00:13:36.074 tried their stuff was at an event last year with Jake at Uni 219 00:13:36.074 --> 00:13:39.915 Market Dock 5 and henceforth brought a cream ale. 220 00:13:39.915 --> 00:13:43.754 And I was like, yes, sir. Bring me the cream ale. It was really good. 221 00:13:43.754 --> 00:13:47.595 And it how rare is it that, a, a brewery 222 00:13:47.595 --> 00:13:51.050 makes a cream ale, and then, b, makes it well 223 00:13:51.050 --> 00:13:54.270 done. Like, they actually do it in the traditional 224 00:13:54.410 --> 00:13:58.170 style. And, c, to have this be your 225 00:13:58.170 --> 00:14:02.010 first beer off the bat that you're offering to pour at 226 00:14:02.010 --> 00:14:05.685 an event. Like, it's It's a strong showing. It is. They they just 227 00:14:05.685 --> 00:14:09.125 came out saying, hey, here's here's our cream ale. 228 00:14:09.125 --> 00:14:12.884 Everyone's like, what with whiplash, you know. No. I just 229 00:14:12.964 --> 00:14:16.620 cream ale is a really good brewers beer. I think Kolsch kinda 230 00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:20.320 falls into that, as well where like if you're opening with that, 231 00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:24.140 you've kind of thrown down and like you've made a declaration of intent. We're 232 00:14:24.140 --> 00:14:27.820 like, this is what we're gonna do. At that event, Brandy, they brought 2 233 00:14:27.820 --> 00:14:31.435 sixtles of IPA and 1 sixtal of cream ale, 234 00:14:31.735 --> 00:14:35.495 and, they got an introduction to what DC wants, when they 235 00:14:35.495 --> 00:14:39.334 kick the sixtal of cream ale before either of those sixtals of 236 00:14:39.334 --> 00:14:42.955 the IPA. Well, maybe cream ale is the magic, 237 00:14:43.970 --> 00:14:47.810 hen that will lay the golden egg for henceforth. I certainly hope so. But I 238 00:14:47.810 --> 00:14:51.491 know having talked to Ben Evans, owner and, brau 239 00:14:51.570 --> 00:14:55.030 at Hellbender along with LT Good luck that their Kolsch 240 00:14:55.170 --> 00:14:58.834 and Red, footprint fit twice within 241 00:14:58.834 --> 00:15:02.675 their Right IPA footprint. So they were really hoping Kolsch, which, yes, 242 00:15:02.675 --> 00:15:06.514 like cream ale is a brewer's beer, would outgrow as as a 243 00:15:06.514 --> 00:15:10.240 flagship, but in fact, IPA won even, you know, 244 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:13.920 11 years into that brewery's life, the IPA sold better than 245 00:15:13.920 --> 00:15:17.760 the Kolsch and the Red to the to the score of 2 to 1, 246 00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:21.440 if you will. So good to keep in mind, and and, of course, we're very 247 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.275 excited to see what Henceforth is doing. What other new projects are we looking 248 00:15:25.275 --> 00:15:28.875 forward to in 2025? My neighborhood, I think we 249 00:15:28.875 --> 00:15:32.555 mentioned it, every episode 9. Once or 250 00:15:32.555 --> 00:15:36.275 9 times. I I'm especially now that Hellbender 251 00:15:36.475 --> 00:15:40.230 is is gone. You know, Urban Gardens 252 00:15:40.230 --> 00:15:43.930 should be opening soon. Oh, yes. And, hopefully soon. 253 00:15:44.950 --> 00:15:48.790 You know, it's it all depends on build out and permits, and 254 00:15:48.790 --> 00:15:52.225 it's always a disaster. You can ask any of our, 255 00:15:52.605 --> 00:15:56.045 local beer owners the troubles, the trials and 256 00:15:56.045 --> 00:15:59.725 tribulations that they went through. And, actually, my friend over at 257 00:15:59.725 --> 00:16:03.360 Sangfrois, hey, Jeff. They just 258 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.960 got their official permit and go go 259 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.100 forth with, their space. Wait. Reference 260 00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:14.400 Sangfrois Sangfrois is a uneducated ass. Sorry. Sangfrois 261 00:16:14.640 --> 00:16:18.235 Yes. And and those like me who don't speak French. Sangfrois is a distillery 262 00:16:18.295 --> 00:16:21.975 in Hyattsville, Maryland? Yes. It's this tiny little pocket. 263 00:16:21.975 --> 00:16:25.355 It's right down the street from Streetcar, and 264 00:16:25.654 --> 00:16:29.435 nicest guys, cutest little distillery. They make apple brandy, 265 00:16:29.495 --> 00:16:33.040 whiskey, super small batch, like, that's smaller than my 266 00:16:33.040 --> 00:16:35.860 living room, really. But they have, 267 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.100 procured the old bank in Takoma Park. So 268 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.300 Takoma Park is gonna have their first distillery, 269 00:16:44.035 --> 00:16:47.875 and it's gonna be a huge beautiful space. So congratulations on getting 270 00:16:47.875 --> 00:16:51.335 your your go forth. I missed a bank there. I well, 271 00:16:52.835 --> 00:16:56.135 so I'm very excited to see where that takes, 272 00:16:56.590 --> 00:17:00.190 Saint Phoix and how the people of Takoma Park receive 273 00:17:00.190 --> 00:17:03.710 it. Yeah. Quick, Jake. More recession proper, a bank or a 274 00:17:03.710 --> 00:17:06.849 distillery? Have you ever seen a run on a distillery? 275 00:17:08.349 --> 00:17:11.730 No. But Richard's only been in town for 1 right, so I don't know. 276 00:17:12.725 --> 00:17:16.325 No. Kudos to the good people of Takoma Park who don't have nuclear 277 00:17:16.325 --> 00:17:20.165 weapons still. Still. Not allowed. Thanks to the good work, Richard. Thanks 278 00:17:20.165 --> 00:17:23.525 for all you've done. But they will be 279 00:17:23.525 --> 00:17:27.365 having a lovely distillery with some great cocktails. I want a 280 00:17:27.365 --> 00:17:31.090 brewery to come there. I mean, I want a brewery everywhere, but, you know. 281 00:17:31.630 --> 00:17:35.070 That's really exciting, Brandy, and not too far on the strip 282 00:17:35.070 --> 00:17:38.910 there, with Streetcar 82. And then, of course, we have to 283 00:17:38.910 --> 00:17:42.510 give a shout out to Pitria Paradiso, fine purveyors of draft 284 00:17:42.510 --> 00:17:45.335 beer. I was at the, 285 00:17:46.054 --> 00:17:49.674 the original or almost original, DuPont Circle location. 286 00:17:50.054 --> 00:17:53.815 Haven't been to Hyattsville in a while. Need to get there because if you read 287 00:17:53.815 --> 00:17:57.655 the headlines, draft beer is not doing so hot. Mhmm. And damn it, 288 00:17:57.655 --> 00:18:00.950 I won't have my name reflected in this, 289 00:18:01.429 --> 00:18:05.190 shrinking of draft beer sales. And it's just a hop, skip, and a jump away 290 00:18:05.190 --> 00:18:08.790 from Denizen. So go see our our our 291 00:18:08.790 --> 00:18:11.850 OG Patreon member. Julie was the number one. 292 00:18:12.525 --> 00:18:16.365 She's still my number one. Hey, Julie. In fact, if you wanna make 293 00:18:16.365 --> 00:18:19.885 a day of it you could go to dcbeer.com and take a look at our 294 00:18:19.885 --> 00:18:23.565 beer trails which includes a Hyattsville beer 295 00:18:23.565 --> 00:18:27.380 trail. We'll have to move sangfois up to 296 00:18:27.380 --> 00:18:30.440 a different one. But we'll also be adding one 297 00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:34.659 to Nomad and Ekington when Right Proper opens 298 00:18:34.659 --> 00:18:38.340 their 3rd brick and mortar, kind of across the street 299 00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:42.085 from Boling Place and Union Kitchen down on the cobblestones 300 00:18:42.385 --> 00:18:45.525 Quincy Lane. Right Proper, Echington. 301 00:18:46.065 --> 00:18:49.825 How excited for are we for a brand new Right Proper? Like, 302 00:18:49.825 --> 00:18:53.265 3 locations. I'm impressed. Mhmm. With with with so many 303 00:18:53.265 --> 00:18:56.620 breweries closing, Right proper is doing something 304 00:18:56.840 --> 00:19:00.620 right and that everybody loves because, I mean, 3 locations. 305 00:19:00.840 --> 00:19:04.620 That's that's really not anything to, you know No. That's fantastic. 306 00:19:04.679 --> 00:19:08.365 But I have a question about this location. Is it, like, brewery 307 00:19:08.365 --> 00:19:11.885 taproom only or is there a kitchen? Do you know? There is going to be 308 00:19:11.885 --> 00:19:15.405 a kitchen, and so it's going to be very similar to what is served that 309 00:19:15.405 --> 00:19:19.245 right proper shawl. So you'll have, yes. Hopefully, you 310 00:19:19.245 --> 00:19:22.860 will see the lamb French dip, the brussels sprouts, some really 311 00:19:22.860 --> 00:19:26.700 dope cheese from, Kess. Chicken sandwich? Yeah. And 312 00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:30.540 yes. The the Chick Fil A, one of 313 00:19:30.540 --> 00:19:34.300 the better chicken sandwiches in DC. Mhmm. People are really excited about 314 00:19:34.300 --> 00:19:38.075 Echington. I'm excited about what's going to happen with 315 00:19:38.075 --> 00:19:41.915 Shaw once Echington comes online. Sure. Sure. Shaw 316 00:19:41.915 --> 00:19:45.375 is gonna give itself entirely over to wild, 317 00:19:45.515 --> 00:19:49.275 sour, mixed fermentation, weird yeast beer. 318 00:19:49.275 --> 00:19:52.580 That's kind of smart because if any any of you have 319 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.940 been lucky enough to step inside the closet, 320 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.960 sized space that is the brewery over there in 321 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.625 Shaw, you know that there's not a lot of wiggle room to 322 00:20:04.625 --> 00:20:08.385 really do much there. And Josh Chapman has 323 00:20:08.385 --> 00:20:12.225 really pumped out some incredible beers. He really is 324 00:20:12.225 --> 00:20:15.745 a wizard. And, I know it's not an 325 00:20:15.745 --> 00:20:19.550 easy space to brew, but having such a small, 326 00:20:20.890 --> 00:20:24.570 operation really is great for sours and so there's no 327 00:20:24.570 --> 00:20:28.410 cross contamination. I think that's a brilliant idea. In the 328 00:20:28.410 --> 00:20:31.630 words of some of our favorite people, make it funky one time. 329 00:20:32.645 --> 00:20:36.404 And that's exactly what's gonna happen at Shaw. What's gonna happen at 330 00:20:36.404 --> 00:20:39.845 Ekington, of course, remains to be seen, but we do know there will be a 331 00:20:39.845 --> 00:20:43.385 kitchen there, and they're kind of focusing on Belgo Franco 332 00:20:44.085 --> 00:20:47.930 Euro style. From what I can tell, Thor 333 00:20:47.930 --> 00:20:51.370 and Leah Cheston had some very memorable meals in Belgium and 334 00:20:51.370 --> 00:20:54.830 France, so expect clean lagers, clean, 335 00:20:55.130 --> 00:20:58.730 pale ales. When I talked to Josh Chapman about the 336 00:20:58.730 --> 00:21:01.870 Brewhouse install, he actually opted for a decoction 337 00:21:02.090 --> 00:21:05.774 package. So you can expect some some, you know, really robust 338 00:21:05.835 --> 00:21:09.595 lagers. Honestly, we're more excited for the beer, which in today's day and 339 00:21:09.595 --> 00:21:12.875 age, we should probably be more excited for the food. However, you won't have to 340 00:21:12.875 --> 00:21:16.315 sacrifice either at the new right proper 341 00:21:16.315 --> 00:21:20.110 Eppington. So what else are you guys looking forward to in DC 342 00:21:20.110 --> 00:21:23.710 in 2025? Well, we have some late breaking news from 343 00:21:23.710 --> 00:21:27.549 the Brau of, Alcohol, Tobacco, and 344 00:21:27.549 --> 00:21:31.045 Firearms, the TTB wing. They say it is 345 00:21:31.045 --> 00:21:34.645 now allowable to put high gravity wines and 346 00:21:34.645 --> 00:21:38.185 ciders into stovepipe and other 347 00:21:38.325 --> 00:21:41.765 large formats. That's a terrible one. So, 348 00:21:42.165 --> 00:21:45.730 are you ready to walk into a beer cave at Sheetz or Wawa in 349 00:21:45.730 --> 00:21:48.710 Central Pennsylvania and see 19.2 350 00:21:49.169 --> 00:21:52.390 ounces of, like, 11% ABV 351 00:21:52.690 --> 00:21:56.070 apples apple cider? Yes. It's it's gonna 352 00:21:56.610 --> 00:22:00.255 get real 4 Loko in here before too too long. If the finger legs 353 00:22:00.255 --> 00:22:02.515 weren't lit, they certainly will be now. 354 00:22:03.905 --> 00:22:07.615 Other the whole, right proper, thing 355 00:22:07.615 --> 00:22:11.375 where they they're choosing to brew certain beers 356 00:22:11.375 --> 00:22:14.880 in certain locations now that they have that that 357 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.720 opportunity to do that, reminds me of kind of how Other Half 358 00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.560 is doing things. There's so many Other Half locations. Luckily, we have 359 00:22:22.560 --> 00:22:26.120 one in DC. It's the only one, further down from, 360 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:29.995 Pennsylvania and New York. But you know, there are certain 361 00:22:29.995 --> 00:22:33.755 locations that focus primarily on specific types of 362 00:22:33.755 --> 00:22:37.435 beer. Yeah. And I'm I'm a little sad that I think I'm pretty 363 00:22:37.435 --> 00:22:41.195 sure that, DC was the lager house, and I think we 364 00:22:41.195 --> 00:22:45.000 were we've lost that. Yes. Don't shed any 365 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.539 tears, Brandy, because DC still remains Other Half's largest 366 00:22:48.600 --> 00:22:52.059 production facility. So not only are they DC, 367 00:22:52.600 --> 00:22:56.299 the district proper's biggest brewer, it's the largest production facility 368 00:22:56.545 --> 00:23:00.225 within the Other Half empire, if you will. And, of course, it's nary an 369 00:23:00.225 --> 00:23:03.525 empire comparatively to Anheuser Busch InBev owning 26% 370 00:23:04.225 --> 00:23:07.765 of the 1,000,000,000 barrel, $1,000,000,000 valuation 371 00:23:07.905 --> 00:23:11.580 global beer trade. But to your point, it's interesting to see Other Half, 372 00:23:12.860 --> 00:23:16.320 method or style sort of replicated by a local smaller 373 00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:20.220 homegrown option, which is right proper. And it's actually a 374 00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:23.919 great idea. You know, it's something in in being a student of beer history. 375 00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:27.985 It's something that we've seen time and time again. You know, 376 00:23:27.985 --> 00:23:31.765 Guinness I was talking to a local, distributor. 377 00:23:31.825 --> 00:23:35.445 Guinness is up 20% in the city this year. Right? 378 00:23:35.745 --> 00:23:39.505 They have a London brewery. They focused on, different beers in 379 00:23:39.505 --> 00:23:43.149 London versus Dublin. With the Maryland brewery, they decided they weren't 380 00:23:43.149 --> 00:23:46.850 gonna brau out there. Maybe they vastly 381 00:23:46.909 --> 00:23:50.590 overestimated the market for blonde ale. It's fine. We all we all 382 00:23:50.669 --> 00:23:53.169 it happens to all of us. Point being, 383 00:23:54.110 --> 00:23:57.765 different facilities to produce different types of beer. But we love 384 00:23:57.765 --> 00:24:01.125 seeing the organic growth. I can't wait to have not 1, not 2, but 3 385 00:24:01.125 --> 00:24:04.585 right proper locations. We're super excited for henceforth. 386 00:24:05.045 --> 00:24:08.725 Can't wait for urban garden to open up. Is there anybody 387 00:24:08.725 --> 00:24:12.549 else we're interested in seeing flourish in 388 00:24:12.549 --> 00:24:15.563 2025? I would add in Joyhound, 389 00:24:16.230 --> 00:24:19.990 Baltimore does not qualify as the DMV to me that 390 00:24:19.990 --> 00:24:23.289 to me other DMV kind of stops like at like Correct. Sappwood, 391 00:24:23.510 --> 00:24:27.304 Howard County. Okay. Closer than Richmond though. Yes. 392 00:24:27.304 --> 00:24:31.065 Yes. Close closer closer than Richmond, but Alfred 393 00:24:31.065 --> 00:24:34.585 from Joyhound has been popping up a bit at, other 394 00:24:34.585 --> 00:24:37.740 Penthe in Baltimore's Hamden area 395 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:41.820 and is probably gonna open up his own spot, 396 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:46.200 so a Joyhound spot, and we might see that 397 00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:48.380 as soon as late 2025. 398 00:24:50.115 --> 00:24:53.955 You know, a lot of brewery brands launch with 399 00:24:53.955 --> 00:24:57.715 1 or 2 beers, and Alfred did not do that. Alfred came out 400 00:24:57.715 --> 00:25:01.495 with, like, a fruited hazy IPA, a double IPA, 401 00:25:01.715 --> 00:25:05.380 a pale ale, 2 sours, and, like, all of these were 402 00:25:05.380 --> 00:25:09.039 contract I'm here for it. Yeah. Oliver, Ailes, other 403 00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:12.600 old, like, Pratt Street Ale House over on 895. 404 00:25:13.620 --> 00:25:17.000 Oliver Ailes themselves is, I think, going to be moving 405 00:25:17.395 --> 00:25:21.075 at some point this year too and so there'll be certainly some 406 00:25:21.075 --> 00:25:24.915 contract breweries and brands who might be 407 00:25:24.915 --> 00:25:27.895 heading elsewhere. We might see a little bit of a disruption. 408 00:25:28.674 --> 00:25:31.530 But yeah, I'd be like I really like how Alfred came out and just said 409 00:25:31.530 --> 00:25:35.230 we're gonna you know, we're not just gonna do, like, these two things. Like, 410 00:25:35.610 --> 00:25:39.130 I'm gonna treat this contract brewing brau as if it really is a 411 00:25:39.130 --> 00:25:42.535 brewery, and here are, like, 6 beers. I hope you 412 00:25:42.535 --> 00:25:46.135 like them. Yeah. You saw the spice cabinet with a lot of contract 413 00:25:46.135 --> 00:25:49.575 brewers, salt, pepper, maybe a splash of garlic. Albert said, here's the 414 00:25:49.575 --> 00:25:53.095 paprika, here's the cumin, here's the lemongrass. Saffron. Here's the 415 00:25:53.095 --> 00:25:56.670 saffron. We're just gonna we're gonna use them all. Well, since 416 00:25:56.830 --> 00:26:00.510 since we're stepping a little bit outside of DC, I'm gonna sort of wrap 417 00:26:00.510 --> 00:26:04.270 up my comments by, I think I think some 418 00:26:04.270 --> 00:26:07.950 of you have heard me use the phrase junket in the 419 00:26:07.950 --> 00:26:11.535 past. Hashtag junket. That's the truth. Reference 420 00:26:11.535 --> 00:26:15.235 an old, episode. I'm inviting 421 00:26:15.295 --> 00:26:19.135 everyone listening to this podcast and all of my colleagues here 422 00:26:19.135 --> 00:26:22.915 at DC Right to come down to East Tennessee 423 00:26:23.615 --> 00:26:27.330 for a visit. You buying? I'm buying. We've 424 00:26:27.330 --> 00:26:31.010 got, some fantastic breweries in, I think, sort of 425 00:26:31.010 --> 00:26:34.630 an East Tennessee, West, North Carolina, 426 00:26:35.169 --> 00:26:38.530 everything from Knoxville to Asheville.

And now that that's 429 00:26:45.804 --> 00:26:49.184 my neck of the woods, I'm starting to find more and more of those. 430 00:26:49.565 --> 00:26:52.785 So if you wanna come down and check out some of the breweries 431 00:26:53.250 --> 00:26:57.010 in, the Appalachian, Other Appalachian part of the 432 00:26:57.010 --> 00:27:00.610 country, let me know.
