Hey Mid-Atlantic BAs. My fiancé and I will be coming up from FL for the Inauguration and we got tickets for this. Anyone else going to be in attendance?

This is an amazing opportunity to taste some seriously rare brews including Allagash FV-13, Bam & Bat, DC Brau’s debut of Barrel-Aged Ghouls Night Out, Smuttynose 2010 Barrel-Aged Baltic Porter, Fullsteam Fruitcake, 3 Stars Global Pandemic, Oxbow Noel 2012, Heavy Seas Barrel-Aged Siren Noire, Flying Dog Galaxy Single Hop Imperial IPA, Starr Hill Belgian Strong Ale and Schlafly Single Malt Scottish Ale on draft!
