Not that DC isn’t an awesome town for beer drinkers, but in mid-May, it’s going to be the Best Beer Town in America as Savor ^[1] comes to town. Taking over the Mellon Auditorium ^[2] for two days in May, bringing brews to town that we don’t normally get. The names are familiar, you’ll recognize Abita, Dogfish Head, Brooklyn Brewery, New Belgium, Stone, Tröegs, Smuttynose, amongst many others ^[3]. Check out the awesome salons ^[4], which include “Getting Started with Beer and Food,” and “He Said Beer, She Said Wine.”

So mark your calendars, beer-lovers, and get your friend who doesn’t drink to drive downtown. Get ready for some excellent beer, and some great catering to go with it ^[5]. Start setting aside your money, though, each session (there are three) runs $85, so that’s a bit pricy.
