That DC Beer Week calendar is off the charts. I never seem to make these events but I've circled three or so early in the week.
I used to live in the south, always enjoyed crawfish boils and Abita truly is the perfect beer to counteract all that heat and make things delicious. So thats definitely a target.
Nice to look up some places I hadn't heard of, Capitol Lounge looks like it has a nice beer list for example, will have to hit that up next time I'm in town.
DC's really got a different vibe from Baltimore to where it can pull this off, I'm curious how Baltimore Beer Week works out, how we and our establishments step up in our own unique way.
