WASHINGTON DC: September Beer Events at Pizzeria Paradiso - Pre DC Beer Week

Highlights of upcoming beer events that Pizzeria Paradiso will host at their Dupont Circle, Georgetown and Old Town Alexandria locations throughout the month of September, as well as in honor of DC Beer Week.

Leading up to DC Beer Week, Pizzeria Paradiso will feature a variety of specials, starting with a Sweet & Sour tap takeover. On September 9 in Old Town, the restaurant will tap a selection of sweet and sour beers with a variety of styles ranging from ailers and fruit beers to goses and wild ales. Additionally, to celebrate England’s long, rich history of brewing, and to commemorate the devastating fire that swept London 350 years ago, Georgetown’s Birreria Paradiso will have a full tap takeover featuring all English beers, including drafts from Buxton, Siren, Magic Rock and others. To complement the English brews, Pizzeria Paradiso will also offer a selection of mini calzones inspired by the country’s beloved meat pies. ‘The English are Coming’ tap takeover will be available at the Georgetown location only from September 16-18.

Finally, in honor of DC Beer Week (September 24-October 1), all three locations of Pizzeria Paradiso will celebrate with various events and beer specials including a Georgetown bar crawl, a beer class on Gruits, the launch of a special collaboration beer and a night dedicated to women in the beer industry.
