Right Proper - Taproom & Brewery · Brookland
A Brookland tasting room and patio that pulls families and dogs by day and a livelier crowd after dark. The rotating lineup runs from crisp pilsners to mixed-culture, oak-fermented ales, and the guide calls the beers essential DC drinking.
DC Brau · Woodridge
The Woodridge brewery credited with reviving DC's packaging beer scene in 2011, still running a family-friendly tasting room. The range spans light shandies to heavy stouts, with The Public pale ale and The Corruption among the year-round mainstays.
Red Bear Brewing Co · NoMa
Set inside the historic Washington Coliseum in NoMa, where the Beatles played their first US concert in 1964. Known for weekend drag brunches alongside a signature red ale and an Italian-style pilsner.
Crooked Run Fermentation · Union Market
A Union Market brewery focused on traditional Belgian lambic-style beers, including a framboise-style sour made with Virginia-grown raspberries. Thick, doughy pizzas make it as much a dinner stop as a beer one.
Aslin Beer Company · Logan Circle
An indoor-outdoor beer garden on 14th Street in Logan Circle built for day drinking and people-watching. The rotating sour lineup can run deep alongside Full Basic, a dark Czech-style lager.
