BrewHaHa!
We headed to Old Ebbitt Grill’s fourth annual Craft BrewHaHa. We snapped Old Bust Head Brewing Co's daughter/mother team Callie and Julie Broaddus flanking National Geographic's Dayne Weber and Ariane Szu-Tu.
Ten local craft brewers were paired with 10 local chefs to celebrate the growth of craft beer in the DC area as part of the kickoff party for the eighth annual DC Beer Week. Here, Premium Distributors' Stefan Vasilis and Ben Fiske flank CityDance's Cristina Vasilis.
Guests enjoyed unlimited tastings from the participating breweries and restaurants, as well as performances from opening band Crooked Angels and headlining band Only Lonesome. Here, David Moran, Old Ebbitt's general manager for 25 years, with executive chef Salvatore Ferro.
Chef/beer aficionado Teddy Folkman and local distributor Jeff Wells started DC Beer Week in 2008 to celebrate the small, but enthusiastic, craft beer community in the nation’s capital. The event has grown each year, attracting thousands to numerous DC Beer Week events throughout the Washington area. Here, Boston Properties' Julie Manning with bartender Becca Rybczyk.
