We'll be having seminars and walkthroughs by experienced professional amateurs on all the trials and tribulations of home-brewing.

There will be a local food truck on hand to fill our bellies and plenty of Brooklyn cans at the bar to throw at the acts we find lackluster. On stage in D.C. we're bringing together Brooklynite punk rockers The Men, as well as hometown favorites Passing Phases & Heavy Breathing. Expect to sweat. A lot.
