Say you can't sleep? Baby, I know. That's that me. That's that
us. It's the DC Beer Show. We are at DC Beer
across social media. Brandy, what are you
drinking tonight? Actually, so I drink 2 beers tonight.
I drink half of an Iron Simms. And what is Iron
Simms, you may ask? Well, it is the collaboration beer
that Dynasty brewed for bitter fruit, black brew
movement, Harvey Wilder Foundation, liquid intrusion.
Andrew of liquid intrusion actually came up with a recipe.
Fucking brilliant. Joy Helms Soul Mega, Black
Beauty, Black Viking, Urban Garden. It is a peach chamomile
saison, and this was my last can. I have absolutely destroyed this
beer even though it's not even my go to style of beer. Well done.
Go support your black owned breweries all year long, not
just for Juneteenth or Black History Month. We
have many of them in the DMV. Go support them. I
also had havesies of a Final Gravity,
which is out of Richmond. It is Rights of Spring, the
ginger honey lager. It is so
perfectly balanced. It's barely gingery,
so it doesn't really have all that spice and heat,
and the honey is like a wisp of there, but it's there
enough for you to taste it. It's just this beautiful
beer, and then back to back having the peach
Kimbile Saison and the honey ginger lager.
I mean, I feel like I'm in some sort of bougie spa
right now where they serve nice fancy beer. What are you
drinking, mister Stein? Well, thank you, Brandy. I
am having Senate beer, the
wonderful Christian Heierich Brewing Company, Senate
beer, produced at Wright Proper, a joint public history
project between the Hyrick House Museum and my firm, the
Lost Loggers, the beverage research firm. This
is the original Senate beer, the pale lager
with corn. So it's a pretty wonderful
beverage that I'm enjoying this warm, warm
evening. It's delightful. Big fan. Say, Mike,
pretty soon my understanding is that you're gonna have to specify
what you mean when you say a senate. Will it be
a senate American adjunct light style
lager or will it be a
Mersin style lager? Well, in the words of the
Heierich House Museum, Maersen is back, DC.
So, yes, we spent years, researching Maersen and pretty
soon on August 9th, to be specific, Friday,
August 9th, you'll be able to taste, Hi Rick, Senate
Mertzen. We're super excited about it. Before I give my shout
out, Mike, the people have 1 question. Will there be flicked corn
in senate Meriden in true American fashion? No. You
know, shockingly, my colleague Peter Jones, who's the other
half of Lost Lagers, and I believe that
Mertzen may have been the only high rank brewery
beer without corn or rice. We know
you know, very popular at the time. So from 18
late 1800, early 1900, and even post prohibition into the thirties and
forties, corn and rice are the number
1 product. You know? They're huge in American brewing. So when
we came across this merits and recipe, we're shocked to find
nary 1 kernel of corn nor 1 grain
of rice. So this is an all malt
beer just like it would be in the old country? You got
it. You got it. Alright. Which which was a weird thing for, the biggest brewery
in DC, and, you know, we were talking about the
biggest brewery in DC on brew day. Heirik brewed sometimes a
100000 barrels or more. Just for reference, I checked the
Brewers Association's, site for DC output.
They had us listed at 31, 000 barrels last year.
So it's, almost about 70, 000 more barrels
on average were brewed, you know, in in the 19 thirties around this time.
This recipe's from 1933, so, you know, we need to catch up,
Jake. We need to brew about 70, 000 more barrels to hit,
the historic 19 thirties level. Well, you know, I I appreciate you taking the
time to be on the podcast instead of, you know, doing 2 or
3 shifts, to on a on a on a
15 barrel system to yeah. I should've cranked out another 60 barrels.
What am I doing? Podcasting. That's right. Yeah. Stop stop talking to me. Put put
your waiters back on. Put your galaches back on, and, you know, get in there.
Start shuffling. Well, thanks for the voter confidence. Yeah. Alright.
So keeping it, high Rick or high Rick adjacent, I have not beer here,
but it is Ancho's Quince Dry Cider.
Oh. 6.9 percent because keeping it under 7 is
always nice for tax purposes. That's right. But the Quince
adds this kind of nice, like, tropical citrusy
funk to it. It's, native yeast from Adams County, Pennsylvania.
A a lovely cider. I really like just like that nice little tropical addition,
and the kinda extra tartness that quince brings. Jake, here's
my question. Yeah. This cider Mhmm. Typically, it's with apples, fermented
apples. This 1 also has, quince, fermented quince. Is it a
sweet cider, or is it a dry cider? It is
a dry cider as most on show ciders are.
They they let that native yeast rip, and so the finish is dry.
But it does have this, sort of distinct, kind of summery vibe
upfront. Because if you bite into a quints,
raw, you're a psychopath because they are incredibly
tart and often hard. But in a side yeah. It's just
it's kicking off this, like, this lovely, almost like
kind of like persimmonie, pineappley, bready note.
It just you know, that it adds, like, a little more of a tiki
summertime vibe to the cider while still, you know, Quince
being, a cousin of apple, keeping it in that
cider family. You know, it's not a passion fruit cider. It's not a pineapple
cider. It's not a dry hop cider. It's just Apples
with a little bit of quince. Sounds delightful. Yeah.
Alright. News item number 1 is,
I think, birch and barley. July 13th, their
last day before they get replaced by Mallard,
a friend of DC beer from way back when, chef
Hamilton Johnson, ex Vidalia shout out to Vidalia,
way back when over on 19th and m, and a Big Hunt
regular back in the day is gonna do kind of like new
American southern style food at Mallard under Church
Key. Do we have any hot takes about this? What do we make
of, you know, birch and barley having a 14, 15 year
run? Call them to the day. Well, no
hot takes, but, tepid takes. House made
tots will still be there. Absolutely. Yeah. But then, you
know, we've got country ham. We've got, spicy
pork sausage, fungus among us. You know? Thrilled to see a
vegetarian option on there. I'm willing to say
that this may be better than the birch
and barley we have seen of late because it's new and
exciting. It's with the seasoned chef, Jake, who you
know can crank out quality quality
foodstuffs, good sourcing, good ingredients. So I'm of
the mind that this may be better than what we've seen from burch
and barley. Yeah. I don't like I don't want, you know, the commentary
among the DC beer, you know, community to read too
much into this. Like, oh, birch and barley is going away, and so that means
that a beer centric fine dining restaurant cannot
succeed. Like, I don't want that to be the
takeaway here. I feel like 15 years,
especially in dining, that's an eternity.
Restaurants kind of come and go. A great many of them
fail within the 1st 3 to 5 years, if not the 1st
year or so, in ways that breweries
don't. Like if a brewery opens and immediately closes,
that's awful. If a brewery is open for 10 years and then
closes, that's also awful. But if you compare the churn
of breweries to the churn in restaurants, it's apples and
oranges. 15 years is a while. I really do think that
bergton barley succeeded at their goal, which was, to
give beer a place at the table alongside wine and
such. And I think we'll see that continue at Mallard as
well. Yeah. I think, writ large, we've seen the success
of craft beer on a national scale. You know,
the phrases that I'm hearing is craft beer is
now just beer. Right? And and in a sense,
obviously, it's not apples to apples with fine dining is now just
dining. But to exist in that fine dining space with a
beer focus, you know, it it's it's gained ground and we've
seen more of it. So what do you make of that, Jake? Would you agree
that craft beer has become just beer and that's
kind of where we're at, or do you think something different represents the
landscape better? Yeah. So this is, I think, is, like, the double edged sword
that to me is very interesting. In the words of Rosie Perez in White Men
Can't Jump, sometimes when you win, you really lose,
and sometimes when you lose, you really win. And, like,
what does it look like that we're all, I think, in the craft beer
industry, very angsty about the present and
the future? Sales and growth both seem
stagnant. There's a lot of excess capacity at breweries, that we
can get into in a little bit. But
if craft beer is just beer, and if you can
buy that beer so many more
places now than you could 20,
30 years ago. And if there are so many more local
breweries doing their things, and you can travel, and you
can go, and you can visit. Aren't those all
wins? Like, I know that we're all super angsty and
that the number of breweries opening and breweries closing
is currently about breakeven as opposed to, like, the rampant
breakneck pace, that we had Mhmm. For the
last 15 plus years. Yeah. But, like, you and
I both know, like, we can go into rural Pennsylvania
Sheetz gas stations and get 3 week old
Trokes. Mhmm. Like, my goodness.
Like, that's great. It's like, that's all I ever
wanted out of all of this Fair. Was to be able to drink local
beer and be able to drink fresh beer.
Yeah. Fair. I will challenge you and say I went into a reputable
Pennsylvania distributor to find some August Diner,
Edelstoff, and I didn't know how good it was locally.
You know, we have the brew shop. Shout out to Beth and Julie, owners
of the brew shop in Arlington. And their Edelstauff, I didn't know
how fresh it was until I had stale distributor Edelstauff
in Harrisburg. But that being said, I'm a fool if I don't take the
3 week old at the sheets, and I go seeking
German lager from Munich when I'm in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
All that being said, Jake, I wanna bring up, an interesting point
raised on Twitter. We published an article, the
circle of brewery life closures, beer, metals, and more. And
Jeff Allworth chimed in to say DC beer gut
check description and subtweet. And, of course, the gut check
is all worth mentioning. How many of the 2014 Great American Beer
Festival winners from your state are still in business today. DC
beer found just 30% survival rate, and then
he went on to say Oregon's doing better. He's got an 80%
survival rate. But, yeah, Jake, maintaining is the new
expansion, isn't it? If your brewery stays in business for 10 or 15
years, that's wonderful. But, yeah, we've we've been through this period
where we've seen some great growth, but then we've seen some great closures, and
that seems to still be, the topic of
today. So if you wanna start a brewery
today, you might take a look around the landscape.
Like, you don't necessarily need a brick and mortar
if you take a look at your local breweries and you
see that they've got this tank space. Right? Let's
say again, purely hypothetical. Atlas, by
the way, congrats to their Virginia grand opening. Yes. They'll be
brewing there soon. Top room for now. So for those of us
who are buying it in. Coming. Atlas is the 1st
DC production brewery to open a facility in Virginia. Not the
first ever, of course. Speaking of the Christian Heirek Brewery, they had a
bottling facility in Richmond, in Baltimore, yada yada. But
this is the first of the modern era where we've seen Atlas
now, a DC mainstay opening shop
in Alexandria. Go on, Jake. So
Atlas, if they use
every single tank and they fill them up,
they're gonna have too much beer. That is, they can't sell it on
premise across all their locations. They can send it out
to distribution, but it's going to sit
some places. And so they've got this excess
capacity. Again, this is something that Jeff Allworth mentioned,
over his blog, Birvana, which if you're listening to this show
this show, you should be reading because it's a great blog. He's got
data from Bart Watson over the Brewers Association, their
economist, who just mentions, well, growth is stagnant, and there's
all this excess capacity. If you want to get beer
into the market, maybe you don't need real estate.
Maybe what you need is the tank space that's going
unused at your local brewery. And so here in
DC, you know, DC brow has done some
contract brewing. Soul Mega brews out of DC C. Brown.
D. C. Brown has done some stuff for bitter fruit, for a droit theory.
They've even done a batch or 2 of Ignite IPA for Hellbender. We'll have
Hellbender gets their boiler situation sorted out. By the
way, good news on that front because the boiler is installed and hopefully
up and running, making beer very soon. So there's this brewery
brand, this beer brand dad strength, a 2.9%
IPA and perhaps other under 3% beers coming
soon, they're gonna brew out of Atlas, take advantage of Atlas' excess
capacity. There are these, feds
who travel a lot for work, let's say, like, Department of State,
USAID, Agency For National Development, Lost Nomad,
they're brewing out of city state, while city state has some excess
capacity. And so that model may prevent
some breweries, from closing, going under.
I think it also adds to the growth overall if you've got
more beer in your tanks, even if it's not Atlas
beer, not city state beer, not DC brow beer, what have you, it's
still beer coming out. And it's gonna be different, And I think people will be
interested in it. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good point, Jake. Just because
a brewery is making a different brand doesn't mean we're not gonna see a
proliferation of brands. And in fact, the opposite. With more
brands on the market, we'll see a more varied market. Whether
that will be a more successful market, that that remains to be
seen. Right? We're we're gonna watch, and and see the
future unfold before our eyes in real time.
But I have to say it's a wonderful thing to have this
capacity in town whereas 10 years ago,
so many breweries were struggling for capacity to make
enough beer to meet market demand. Well said.
And so we've talked a little bit about brewing and a little bit about people
buying it. Our interview tonight is with Justin from
Allied. They're a distributor in Virginia, and so
they're the middle the middleman, middle person, if you
will, in terms of getting the beer from point a to point b.
Brandy, take it away. Thank you for that wonderful
introduction, Jake. As always, you are the best. I want
to introduce my very special guest that we've actually been talking about
having on the show for a while, and we finally made it happen.
Justin Damaris of Allied Craft Distribution.
Hi Justin. Welcome. Hey, Brandy. Thanks for having me. Of
course. So before we get started, I'm gonna ask you what is
in your can or glass or stein or in
your mouth. What are you drinking? Yeah. I got a special can of,
dovetail pills for the for the warm
weather months. Yeah. Yes. Little, special release
from them that we got in, on our last drop. Good choice.
I was there during all that. That was a lovely series of
events that happened when Dovetail came to visit. DC beer was so foreign.
Like, flies on we're gonna say honey. Yes. Yeah.
Because it was very honey. It was beautiful and smooth and delicious.
Yes. And and and the dovetail folks had a blast as well when they were
in town. Yeah. I think they did. At least I hope
so. I had a blast. Yeah. Before I start
drilling you with questions, sir, could you
introduce yourself and speak a little about Allied?
Yeah. Given the spiel that you do, you know? Sure. Yeah. Yeah. So
I'm Justin Damaris. I moved here from New Hampshire a
little while ago, and got into the beer world with
a different distribution company in out of Virginia Beach, but had an
opportunity with Allied. We're we've been around for actually, we're
about to hit 6 years in July. So that's
very exciting. And, yeah, we just like to focus on
bringing in some breweries that you're you know, they're harder to get around
here. We love lager breweries, lager focus breweries.
So we put a lot of focus on that. But we have you know, we
hit all styles throughout. So I know
that I've had endless conversations
with not only friends in the industry, but brewery
owners, brewers, and I know
distributors get a extremely bad rap, but I've heard
great things about Allied. And you have some of the
best and most adored breweries
stand up for Allied and say, we love Allied. What
makes Allied stand out from the other distributors?
And, I mean, I can give you a couple of examples, Dovetail being
1. I mean, it was 2 years in the making.
Just really establishing not only just a relationship, but a friendship,
and, you know, just helping them out where we can. And,
yeah, just really, making sure we take care of their beer, put
it in the right the right places. I mean, Virginia and DC
has countless amounts of, really good
places to drink beer, and, a lot of these breweries have heard of
these spots, and they wanna be in there. And also getting these
breweries, you know, connected with these accounts as well. Yeah. It's not
just kinda, you know, signing a brewery and then getting
it on the shelf and forgetting about it. It's it's really paying
attention to pull through and making sure that people are
enjoying it, listening to the feedback, and reporting back to the
breweries, as best as we can. So we really try to
make sure we do that. I mean, it seems as though you're doing a great
job of that because Dovetail and Wheatland Spring sing
your praises. So what are some of the favorite brands
that you distribute? Like, you personally, do you get
popped to go see some people? Or Oh, like, it's, it's
1 of the most thrilling things for me. Like, I I love this job, and
I love seeking out these relationships with these breweries. For instance, just
for 1 that I'm really excited about, actually this week, we're
launching Fox Farm in, DC and well,
they've been in DC before, but Virginia especially. So,
Highside will be doing an event and a couple other places we'll be featuring
them. But I've been chatting with them and become really good friends over the
last 4 years, and it's finally come to fruition. So I'm
very excited for them. Schilling was 1 of our, you
know, brands that we've been we've been working with Schilling for years.
And as I'm sure you know, they brew exceptional beer, and they just do
really well in the DC and Virginia market. Another 1
that I'm, like, really excited about, they're out of New Jersey. They're called
Alternate Ending, but they're brewing really good vloggers and
IPAs and styles across the board. But everything we've gotten
in from them has just been just killer stuff and starting
to get really kinda excited about that brand and what they're gonna do
in Virginia and DC. It seems as though
Allied is really
blazing the trail for bringing some of these breweries in,
and our local establishments are
benefiting greatly from from that. And obviously,
so is the drinking public. So thank you for helping aid in
that and building these relationships because beer brings
everybody together. That's that's the best part about it. You know? That's the
best part about it. Which reminds me, I'm also excited for Sojourn.
I I listened to you guys' podcast with with, Mike Pauley and,
Jensen. Jensen. Yeah. Super excited for what they're gonna
do and what they're about. You know, Jensen and I go way back, but Mike
Pauley, I mean, he was in he was in my wedding. So
Are you serious? Yeah. Yep. Shit. I didn't know that. That's
awesome. Yeah. So really excited. I mean, I I
know that he can brew some really good really good beer,
so it's exciting that that's right around the corner. Do you sell
things that aren't beer? I'm assuming you do. Yeah. Yeah.
So, honestly, cider does real well. We don't have a
lot of cider brands, but Artifacts Cider Project,
and North Country Hard Cider, out in New Hampshire.
So we sell cider. We have a couple meads mead brands,
like Blackheath out of Virginia, and we also work
with Superstition and Shram's, we recently started working
with. So that was a big 1. And, yeah,
lastly, we work with Crunchy Hydration, which they're out
of Virginia Beach, and they do, CBD
waters and herbal like, sparkling CBD and
herbal sparkling water. Yeah. Those are Which does really well.
Oh my gosh. The CBD movement is about to
explode Yeah. Kind of in the same way that the NA movement.
I know that when we first got on the podcast, you were drinking it NA
beer, and I respect the hot water,
the NA movement,
promise you that. I promise you that. Yeah. It's just what the
the nonalcoholic stuff that's coming out is it's really good.
Yeah. I was drinking the Sierra Nevada Trail Pass IPA and just it's
just been in my fridge, you know, just so I'm not grabbing a beer every
night. I can have a nonalcoholic or even a crunchy hydration
is nice. So for our litter listeners
who maybe aren't super duper beer nerdy and
understand, you know, beer from the beginning to how it
gets to you, what specific
role does a beverage distributor play
in the process of getting a beer from a
brewery to in their hands. Yeah. And let's talk
about Virginia law Sure. Why you need a distributor.
Yeah. So, the Virginia law, which it really isn't bad
considering I've heard other states, it's just a nightmare to get
new breweries in. Basically, the biggest
hoops you gotta jump through is make making sure these breweries
t t TTB and get federal, like, cola approval
for the beers that they wanna send for Virginia.
And once we have those codes, we turn that into our
local ABC office, and then we're able to sell it right away.
But, yeah, there's no so, interesting fact,
in Virginia, there's there is, like, a
franchise designation form that these breweries have to sign,
and, technically, it grants us their rights for a
lifetime, which is a scary thing for these breweries. But we
give an already signed release letter, to each and
every brewery so that they can just keep that in their back pocket. If they
were to ever be unhappy, they're not locked in with us. And I
think that is the exact
sentence that I wanted you to say Oh, wow. Because
because all of the other companies, you do
sign your your life away. I mean, that's your brewery. You probably put your heart
and soul and all of your money into it, and you sign with somebody, and
it doesn't work out well for you because either they don't take care of your
products, they don't take care of you or your customers.
And, that is exactly what makes you stand
apart from the other from the other distributors. And that's
exactly it. And I'm glad that you said that because I was gonna say it.
Yeah. No. It, it's it's sad. There's been some horror
stories with some breweries. And as soon as we kinda lay that on
the table, it's almost like you can hear them take a huge
sigh of relief and be like, alright. We're game. You know? Let's
go. Do you know what I find endearing about all of this and learning
about this and reaching out to Wheatland Spring and
and talking to the dovetail guys,
they speak so highly of you because this is so
refreshing, and it it's it's really refreshing to the
DC beer community because we are
entrenched Yeah. And and our our
our local beer news
and drama and goings on
and hearing hearing
for probably the first time ever, breweries that we
love really talk highly of
their distributor is is unheard of.
Genuinely think that you are the
the small brewery craft distributor
for the small craft brewery. You know, you don't just advertise
it. You you are. And I think that will take Allied
a long way. And as long as you guys keep up with this
philosophy and way of doing things and building relationships and
bringing the DMV wonderful beer, then
we will we will continue to support you for sure.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Yeah. Thank you, Justin, for coming on
the show. Is there anything else you'd like to to finish with? What's your
favorite style of beer, sir? Oh, 0, gosh. I I would
say I would say a Czech pills or a a northern style
German pills. Yeah. Alright. But Pilsner Pilsner
altogether. Pils. Pils. Pils. Pils. Pils. Pils. It's like my Yeah.
My my Elsoprino dynasty hat, Pilsner on the back. Oh,
that's sweet. Oh. No. It's a great it's a great hat. That is amazing.
Talk to Fabio about that. Yes. Okay. Yeah. I'll
have to. Thank you, Justin, for coming up for coming on,
and, I'm sure everyone all the beer nerds will now
know about Allied and follow where Allied, has
clients and see where they can get local Allied
distributed beer. Thanks for having me. It was an honor to be on. Thank
you. Cheers. Cheers.
Thank you, Brandy. Thank you, Justin and Allied. Much
appreciated. We don't do a lot of, like, distributor talk on
here, but I think that was good chat. Informative.
Alright. We just survived, like, 6 actually,
more like 10 anniversaries. City State's got 1 coming up
too this weekend. You should check them
out. Mhmm. Stein, what else are you getting into?
Yeah. We're, wishing City State a wonderful
birthday. We know we've got some goings on at
Hellbender. Further down the pike in
July, I'm super excited to have
a Wayfinder beer. You know, it's really interesting.
We wrote about Wayfinder, Wayfinder beer
coming out of Portland, Oregon. And I I said I
was particularly fond of Secret Secret, their dark Czech style
lager. So I wrote those words in March and
then sure enough, Jake, in April,
who wins a silver medal for Secret Secret in international
dark lager at the World Beer Cup?
Was it was it Wayfinder? It was Wayfinder. Oh.
And full disclosure, I was not judging the World Beer Cup
Awards. So there's a there's a super exciting slate both
in town. I'm excited, for local favorites city state,
Hellbender, our friends at Atlas, and Blue Jacket all over making
good beer. But then we're gonna have a bunch of beer coming from out of
town. In addition to Wayfinder, we're also gonna see Fox Farm
coming from Connecticut, and we're gonna see some really interesting
stuff. Some of the more, classic,
you know, German lagers and easy drinking styles,
but then we're also gonna see, I believe some
spontaneous beers from them at Sovereign.
Yeah. And yeah. Exactly. And so Sovereign, July
18th, we're gonna see Cool Ship spontaneous beers
from Fox Farm. So it's exciting. There's a
lot coming down the pike. My understanding is that Fox Farm
is a situation similar to Wayfinder, where we will
see somewhat routine drops.
Wayfinder, Dovetail, Fox Farm coming in to
both DC and North Virginia. That's a great thing.
Means everyone needs to step their games up because those are
3 very, very good breweries. Yeah. So,
Jake, I should clarify. Wayfinder is gonna be at Shelter
on Wednesday, July 10th. So it'll be before our next
podcast. But to your point, we hope to see
both Wayfinder and Fox Farm rotating cycling in and out of the
district, as kegs are kicked. You know, certainly
seeing more beer on draft is a wonderful thing.
We know during the pandemic, keg sales died. They just
straight up we couldn't drink beer over the bar by mayoral
order, as as was the thing to do with public safety. But
it's great now because there's a whole bunch of brands of beer
that breweries might not even put in cans or bottles, but we're
gonna see them in keg, places like Shelter,
the Sovereign, Church Key, and then
wonderful, weird, big old barrel aged stouts at Hellbender.
To quote my friend, Julie from the brew shop, every season
is stout season. Alright, guys. So
July, everyone's taking vacations and chilling because it's hot
as shit. But this month, if you
come to the beer share, I want you to bring some brown beer.
Bring some brown ales for your girl. I know it's July, but it's my birthday
month, so do it. When is the beer share, you're asking? Well,
our July beer share is on Sunday, July 21st,
at Wright Proper Brooklyn. So we'll be hanging out with Brie,
and maybe Thor will show up, who knows, and maybe,
maybe Josh will be there, because if he
is gonna be rocking out some ripe proper, I'd love
to have a Black Narrows ripe proper DC beer
trifecta and party. What do you what do you think? All
you gotta do is crank the AC. The temperature outside doesn't matter.
You sit down for 10 minutes, 65 degrees, and all
then all of a sudden, that that 12% hellbender, red
bear rampage Yep. It become Stout.
Stout weather inside AC cranking.
Alright, all. On that note, we will see you out there.
Everybody stay cool. Tip big. We're at dcbeer
across social media. And breweries and bars,
