Potomac Wines and Spirits | www.potomacwines.com
This Georgetown local spirits shop showcases a variety of regional, national, and international wines.
 
The Dreaming Tree Wines | www.dreamingtreewines.com
When Steve Reeder and Dave Matthews first met, they realized they had a few things in common, like a passion for making wine at least as strong as their passion for drinking it. They set out into wine country, looking for a way to make quality wines accessible to everyone. Along the way, they found inspiration in the down-to-earth characters and unforgettable flavors that give the region its rare kind of charm.
 
Creative Cocktails
Enjoy creative cocktails using flavorful spirits including Absolut Mango, St. Germain, Becherovka and Herbal Liqueur.
 
Shiner Bock & Shiner Hefeweizen | www.shiner.com
Shiner Bock is Spoetzl’s best-selling brand and the epitome of Brewed with an Attitude. The brand is for individuals who are looking for and enjoy something a little different and out of the ordinary. It is a smooth, full-flavored beer with a character all its own, for individuals who are ready to move up from premium domestic beers. SENSORY EXPERIENCE: Shiner Bock is a distinctively rich, full-flavored, deep amber-colored beer. Its handcrafted brewing process creates an invitingly smooth taste without the excessive bitterness that characterizes many specialty and import beers.
 
Anchor Brewing Company | www.anchorbrewing.com
Anchor's beers are produced in one of the most traditional and handsome breweries anywhere in the world. Our brewers employ no modern shortcuts. Each brew is virtually handmade with an all-malt mash in our handmade copper brewhouse, a veritable museum of the simple, traditional brewhouses of old.
 
Anchor Steam Beer - California Common
Liberty Ale - America's first IPA
Humming Ale - American Pale Ale

New Belgium | www.newbelgium.com
We've been putting the NEW in BELGIUM since 1991. It starts with the Belgian brewing tradition of ignoring tradition. Add in our Belgian brewmaster Peter Bouckaert and his imaginative blend of brewing delicious beers with loads of character and aspiring ingredients.
 
Fat Tire - Fat Tire’s appeal is in its feat of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness. Fat Tire is still crafted following the original home brew recipe that Jeff brainstormed on his cycling trip through Belgium.

Hoptober - Five hops and four malts to make Hoptober Golden Ale a veritable cornucopia of the earth. Pale and wheat malt are mashed with rye and oats to create a medium-bodied ale with a creamy mouth feel. Centennial, Cascade, Sterling, Willamette and Glacier hops form a bonfire of citrus notes, fruity cheers and a bold finale.

Ranger - In Trippel Belgian Style Ale, European Saaz hops and an authentic Belgian yeast strain produce an earthy floral bouquet, citrus bite and woody overtones; all of which are balanced with silky malt flavors. Our Trippel is made in the same spirit as the trippels produced by Belgian monks to support their monasteries.

Latis Imports | www.sierranevada.com
We are a specialty beer importer and marketer, focused on the premium brews. We are "beer guys" with a long history of building and developing specialty beers and imports. At this year's Taste of Georgetown, we'll introduce you to PALM Belgium Amber Ale. PALM is Belgium’s best selling ale. Originally brewed at the beginning of the 1900s, as pilsners and lagers were becoming popular due to the discovery of pasteurization, the Belgian Brewing Guild challenged its brewers to create an ale that was true to Belgian tradition but was lighter and had refreshment. They called this style - SpecialeBelge(Belgium Special Ale) - and PALM became the brand synonymous with this style.
 
Beck's Oktoberfest | www.becks.com
Its aroma is malty sweet with hints of apple and roasted nuts. From the nose I was afraid that this beer would be too sweet but it is certainly not. In fact, though the overall flavor profile is subdued, hops is definitely the defining characteristic of this beer.
 
Old Dominion Octoberfest! Dover, DE | www.olddominion.com
Our Autumn Seasonal beer is a traditional Maerzen style lager. We use eight types of imported German malts and four hop varieties to create this amber-colored fest beer.
 
Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat | www.shocktopbeer.com
Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat is the first seasonal ale from Shock Top. Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat is a traditional Belgian-style wheat ale brewed with ripe pumpkins and a variety of autumnal spices, including nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. This seasonal unfiltered wheat ale has a deep amber color and is crafted with a refreshingly distinct pumpkin spice that fully captures all the flavors of fall.
 
Goose Island Harvest Ale, Chicago, IL | www.gooseisland.com
Brewed in honor of the Harvest season this copper colored ESB is made with Cascade hops and the richest Midwestern malts. A fruity American hop aroma and a toasty malt character make Goose Island Harvest Ale an extra special beer worthy of your devotion.
 
Hoegaarden WIT, Belgium | www.hoegaarden.com
When poured, it forms a soft, white creamy head and leaves a generous lacing on the glass. Its naturally cloudy, pale hue shimmers when viewed through the glass. With an aroma of orange peel, coriander and spice, its characteristic taste is entirely unique: smooth, light-bodied, and simultaneously sweet and sour, with a subtle, spiced citrus flavour.
 
Peroni | www.peroni.com
Peroni is the Peroni company's original brand, and the best selling pale lager in Italy. It is 4.7% abv, and is made with barley malt, corn grits, hop pellets and hop extract.
 
Blue Moon | www.bluemoonbrewingcompany.com
At Blue Moon® Brewing Company, everything we do flows from our artistic approach to brewing. We craft our beers with flavorful ingredients and wheat for an inviting taste and a smooth finish that are perfect for enjoying the moment with friends.

Doggystyle IPA - Grassy, Citrus, Slight Perfume 5.5%
Raging Bitch Belgian IPA - Sweet malt body contrasted with pine and grapefruit hop. 8.3 %
c. In-heat Wheat - huge banana and clove notes 4.7%

Sam Adams | www.samadams.com
 
Boston Lager
Latitude 48 IPA
Octoberfest

Batch 19 | www.batch19.com
Inspired by an authentic pre-Prohibition recipe, this bold, hoppy and balanced lager derives its bold taste by using a rare combination of hops including Hersbrucker and Strisslespalt. Hersbrucker hops provide herbal notes and Strisslespalt hops deliver notes of black currant. We are aware of no brewer in America who uses this combination today. Deep-gold in color, naturally filtered and unpasteurized, Batch 19 has 26 IBUs and an assertive 5.5% ABV.
 
Sapporo | www.sapporousa.com
Sapporo, the oldest beer brand in Japan, was first brewed in Sapporo, Japan in 1876 by the German-trained brewer Seibei Nakagawa. From the beginning, Sapporo was a favorite among beer lovers - a crisp, clean taste they appreciated and an advanced brewing process they respected.
 
Boston Beer Company | www.bostonbeer.com
The recipe for Samuel Adams Boston Lager® has not changed since its first brew. For the first 35 years of his life, Jim Koch's family history and future career lay in the attic of his parents' house. Tucked away was an old family recipe from the 1800s for Louis Koch Lager. At this year’s event, you can experience the history behind the flavor as the Boston Beer Company presents its Samuel Adams Boston Lager, Samuel Adams Octoberfest, and Sam Adams Latitude 48.
