Our taproom is relaxed, welcoming, and inclusive. We brew a diverse range of beverages with balanced, complex flavors for every palate.

ON TAP

  • A timeless pilsner - crisp & light, with surprising complexity. It salutes beating Jim Crow in DC in 1953 with the lost laws of 1873. Refresh your perspective.

  • A Modern West Coast IPA with a honeysuckle nose, juicy melon flavors and a refreshing bitterness. Zappa, El Dorado, and Citra hops.

  • Our hazy IPA has ripe peach and candied citrus aromas; it is lush and laced with berry and tropical flavors.

  • Fresh and lively, an exuberant hefeweizen bursting with love, sunshine, fruit and spice. Equal Marriage for all!
