Head brewer Charlie Buettner will be on site. He will be serving:

Quayside Kölsch – 4.5% ABV – 22IBU
Light bodied, German-style Golden Ale. Pilsner and Munich malts provide a subtle, biscuity malt backbone balanced by the spicy flavors and floral aromas of the German noble  hop varietals.

Hells Navigator - 6.5%ABV - 23IBU
Maibock/Helles Bock - Strong, golden-colored lager brewed for the spring season. Pilsner, Vienna and Munich malts are used to produce the slightly toasted malt character. The kettle hop additions of Perle and Hallertau Mittelfruh provide a mellow spice flavor and subtle citrus aromas.

Howling Gale IPA – 7.2%ABV – 80IBU
West-Coast style IPA. Massive kettle hop additions and a double dry-hop process (with hops from A-Z) bring this brew to an explosion of tropical and citrus aromas and flavors.  A hint of caramel malt for body leaves a crisp, dry finish.  Recently voted best IPA in NOVA by Northern Virginia Magazine!

Admission fee includes unlimited tastings, snacks, and tours of the historic home of DC's most successful brewer, Christian Heurich.

History & Hops is a monthly series at the Heurich House Museum, the former Dupont Circle home of D.C.’s most successful brewer Christian Heurich.  Every third Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, the museum partners with a local craft brewery for house tours and beer tastings. Guided tours through Heurich’s well-preserved Victorian mansion will discuss his brewery and the D.C. region’s rich brewing history.  All proceeds benefit the preservation and growth of the Heurich House Museum.  Guests must be 21 or older.
