Well, we made it to the weekend folks. We won’t be posting tomorrow, but there are still tons of great events this weekend as part of the SAVOR Week Festivities. Be sure to check out some of these great events below, including the Evolution Tap Takeover at the Big Hunt, which a number of #dcbrews folks will be meeting at before romping off to SAVOR. Thanks for everyone’s support during this past week. It was a doozy for us, but we’re glad so many of you chose DCBeer.com as your place for SAVOR Beer Week info! Cheers!

Rogue Ales Kegfest and Oyster Bash at Churchkey
12pm
ChurchKey punctuates this year’s SAVOR festivities by welcoming Rogue Ales for a special event that they’d wager to say will never be replicated. They’re not only clearing out ChurchKey and handing over 30 draft lines to them, but the Rogue team is also debuting two beers, hauling in five casks and a medley of their delicious spirits for the bash. On the epicurean end, Rogue will supply a bunch of their delicious cheeses – many made with their own brew – and have helped them secure bushels of tasty Oregon coast oysters for the party.
