– DC Brau has brewed one single batch of Atlas Festbier, a “Spezial Helles,” specifically for H Street Fest. They’ll have set up shop outside of Little Miss Whiskey’s Golden Dollar to talk up craft beer fans and have some pints of their brewery’s latest creation

Hope to see you all at H Street Fest on Saturday. It was a great time last year, and I’m really looking forward to it this year. Cheers!
