DC Brau, Capitol City Brewing Company, and Devils Backbone all took home medals.

This year’s Snallygaster features more than 300 beers. Here’s a look at where to start.

Take note, beer nerds: registration for the exclusive club begins January 2 at 11 a.m.

During D.C. Beer Week, we will be highlighting some exciting beers and events to attend. This weekend, try out Rhode Island’s Trinity and local D.C. homebrews alongside nerds, then close it out with Mid-Atlantic brews.

Things are moving quickly around the D.C. beer world. Expanding markets, collaborations, new equipment…oh my! As that old saying goes: “No rest for the brewers.” (Or something like that.)

Ready for the next D.C. brewery? Monday gives us a sneak peek of what’s to come from 3 Stars Brewing — we highlight that and other highlights of Savor Beer Week, after the jump.

American Craft Beer Week (May 16-22) is upon us and there are events all over the city. As if we needed a reason to celebrate with a pint of good suds, the Brewer’s Association created a week to celebrate the small and independent beer makers around the country who help us enjoy some of the simpler things in life: a good beer with good friends. While we have been lucky to have had this tradition for a number of years here in D.C., 2011 marks the first year where all 50 states have had events for ACBW.
