Is there any better way to celebrate the birth of our nation than to do it the day before with locally brewed craft beer and great food? I would contend to you that you that there will be no better way to spend your July 3 this year than to be at Smith Commons with representatives and brewers from all of the following local breweries: 3 Stars Brewing Company, DC Brau, Baying Hound Aleworks, Flying Dog, Heavy Seas, Stillwater Ales, Lost Rhino Brewing Company, and Port City Brewing Company.
The DMV Brewers BBQ will run from 4-10pm on Sunday, July 3. Enjoy a special fixed price BBQ Menu and a favorite brew (they’ll be doing $5 pints all day!) from the region’s finest breweries.
