Join Bluejacket on Sunday, September 8th, as we host the Official DC Beer Week Kickoff Party. On this day, we will release the official beer of DC Beer Week -- Solidarity Beer 2019!

Inspired by a shared love of German-style lagers, this year’s Solidarity Beer is a traditional Kellerbier gently hopped with Hallertau Mittelfrüh. Brewed at Bluejacket, Solidarity Beer 2019 is once again a showcase of the area’s top breweries -- including 3 Stars, Atlas, DC Brau, District ChopHouse, Gordon Biersch, Hellbender, Port City, The Public Option, Red Bear, Right Proper & Valor.

Beginning at 12 noon, guests will be able to try Solidarity Beer 2019 on draft, poured from Franconian-style gravity kegs, and in 4-pack cans to go. If that wasn’t enough, we’ll also have limited edition DC Beer Week merchandise available!

Not to be outdone, Bluejacket will also pour guest beers from 3 Stars, Atlas, DC Brau, District ChopHouse, Red Bear, Right Proper & more!

There is no admission fee for this event. All beers will be priced individually by the glass and in 4 oz. tasting pours. Check back soon for the full lineup of guest beers.
