Beer: Seems that DC has “evolved into a world-class beer town,” and in celebration of this feat, we get our very own beer week from Sunday, August 16 through Thursday, August 20.  In sum, this is an opportunity to drink lots of beer and learn a thing or two about beer — that is, if you’re not too drunk (on beer!) to learn anything.
