Today on The DC Beer Show, Jake and Brandy keep the good brews flowing. First off, Brandy's fresh from a trip to Ardent Craft in Richmond, singing praises of their alt beer. Jacob joins in the cheer, holding a pint of Wheatland Spring's Common Grain—a tipple toasting women in the brewery world, like the incredible Bonnie.
This week, we're catching up on the pulse of the March beer scene, full of exciting events like the Women's Panels at Lost Generation and Other Half, celebrating women with a blend of pizza, craft suds, and… shenanigans, obviously! March being Women's Month, Jake himself pledges attendance and support.
Next up in the fermenting fun, the team shines a light on the brewing buzzkill: City State Brewery's brewing operations ceasing, a sobering reminder to support local brews over Amazon shopping sprees.
But the hops don't stop there—we've got Brandy and Jacob chatting with Annie McGinnis from Vine Street Brewing in Kansas City. She gives us the lowdown on their claim to fame as the first black-owned brewery in Missouri, housed in a historic building just East of memorable KC landmarks. Vine Street is stirring the pot (or kettle, in this case) with a community vibe brought alive with music, art, and eclectic beer styles like their signature Hood Saison.
Our hosts also dive into Annie's time advocating at the Missouri Capitol, aligning with Anheuser Busch for a good cause—tax reform to keep craft brewing costs palatable. Plus, with collaborations in spades and innovative initiatives on the horizon, Vine Street Brewing is definitely one to watch.
As always, there’s a sprinkle of shout-outs to beer shares and brewery events in the DC area, making sure you folks get your craft fix all while supporting local breweries.
So, crack open a cold one, settle in, and join us for a pint-sized adventure on The DC Beer Show!
