Just as most DC residents are closely acquainted with DC Brau today, there was a time in recent history when many Washingtonians knew of Christian Heurich, his successful Foggy Bottom Brewery and his iconic mansion below Dupont Circle.

An avid recordkeeper, Heurich’s recipes ended up in the National Archives where local homebrewers uncovered these records to recreate a modern 21st century interpretation, “Heurich’s Lager.”

Come learn the history of brewing in Washington and how historical records can be used to recreate the past in delicious ways!
