Washington, D.C. usually reminds people of American history and stuffy political news, but we’re heading there to focus on the food, beer and culture of one of our favorite cities. Join us for a week-long romp across the nation’s capital featuring dinners, parties, shows, feasts and more as part of this year’s Mash Tour. Check out the events below, then grab your tickets and start planning your trip.
DIY Dinner Party with Chef Andrew Gerson: Learn the ins and outs of planning a dinner party as Chef Andrew Gerson walks you through preparing a four-course meal complete with beer pairings. Once you’ve prepared your meal, sit down with your cooking companions and enjoy a dinner party together. Tickets: $30
State of Craft Beer: Brooklyn Brewery co-founder and chairman Steve Hindy discusses the landscape of modern craft beer with leaders from DC Brau, Churchkey, Bluejacket, and All About Beer Magazine. Tickets: $5
Found Footage Festival: Take a look at a “Salute to Weirdos,” selected from the country’s largest collection of found VHS and film footage. Clips range from surreal to nearly helpful, but are always side-splitting. Tickets: $13
Secret Supper with Dinner Lab: We can’t tell you where this dinner party is being held until the day before, or it would ruin the surprise. Suffice to say it’s going to be somewhere completely unexpected, and the menu is unbeatable. Tickets on sale soon.
Brooklyn Brewery and Timberland Present: The Lower Dens and Beverly: There’s no better way to swing into the last weekend of a Mash than with a free concert. All you have to do is let us know you’re coming and show up ready to party. Free RSVPs now open.
Three Headed Beast: Three chefs each cook a whole animal, fix up some side dishes, and you get to feast away with a beer in hand and live music in your ears. Plus, all proceeds from the festival benefit The Food Trust so everyone can share the bounty. Tickets: $35
You can also catch up with us at some non-ticketed events throughout the week. We’ll see you there.
Eat, Drink & Learn with Chef Andrew Gerson at Whole Foods P Street: Stop by and learn a bit about pairing beers with cheese and a Cholula-honey hot sauce with Chef Andrew Gerson.
Defender Night at Iron Horse Tap Room: Get a taste of the first keg of the new Brooklyn Defender IPA in DC, as well as a lineup of vintage Brooklyn favorites.
Beer Brigadoon: One Night in the Barrel Room at ChurchKey: Be transported to our Barrel Room with a taste of some of our treasured experimental Ghost Bottles.
From the Cellars at Jack Rose Dining Saloon: A lineup of beers that rarely leave our borough take over the taps at Jack Rose Dining Saloon for the night.
