March, 2015 - DC Brau is pleased to announce that we have started selling Crowlers! What is a Crowler you may ask? The Crowler is a 32oz, 100% recyclable aluminum can, which we fill the same way we would fill a 32oz growler - except after it is full we put a lid on it and seam it at the growler station. No Growler, no problem... For a small fee on top of the cost of a 32oz growler fill, these single-use custom fill cans can be had with your favorite DC Brau regular, seasonal, and draft-only offerings!

As with our growler policy, Crowlers MAY NOT be consumed on premises. Check out the Washington Post article for more!

Looking for ON THE WINGS OF ARMAGEDDON? Look no further!

Our single-hop-blend double ipa is available in 6-packs, exclusively in our brewery's tap room! Come in and find out what all of the fuss is about - aromas of citrus, white grapes and grapefruit with light bread and biscut notes may very well bring about the end of the world (or at least your palate). The demon of Armageddon bringeth forth a quaffable 9.2% abv hidden beneath the hops, just for you - but not for eternity. Come into the brewery now and get yours while he hath been summoned into our midst.

THE STONE OF ARBROATH Returns After Two-Year Hiatus! Watch for its re-release. This year we will release it in both can and draft. Stone of Arbroath has a rich, sweet malty aroma with mellow notes of plum and brown sugar. The mouthfeel has a "mineral-like" softness with highlights of deep caramelized malt derived from a 90 min boil which encourages caramelizing of dense wort sugars complemented by a subtle roast character that finishes with a mild acridity that pleasantly coats ones mouth. Coming in at a warming and subdued 8% ABV it will definitely ruffle many a kilt this fall.

New Columbia Distillers is using DC Brau beer to distill something else. With 65 cases of canned beer only 2/3 full due to a mistake in the canning line, DC Brau co-founder Brandon Skall sent his stock to New Columbia Distillers’ John Uselton to make gin. He expects to produce approximately 15 gallons of the gin, but the final product is not yet decided. Perhaps an unaged white whiskey, or an aged eau de vie — which would mean another 4 to 10 months of preparations.
