Espita Mezcaleria, the Southern Mexican-inspired restaurant located in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC, is excited to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by offering a limited release Chamomile Saison, which was created in partnership with 3 Stars Brewing Company.

“We always wanted to incorporate Mexican ingredients into a beer,” says Beverage Director Megan Barnes.  “We decided to partner with 3 Stars because we've carried their products since day one, and we’re big fans of their beer.  Together we brainstormed different flavor combinations: hibiscus, guajillo peppers and lime, but none of them were just right.  In the end, we decided to infuse their 3 Stars Peppercorn Saison with chamomile, which is plentiful throughout Mexico, and the result is a crisp, refreshing beer with a beautiful floral note on the back end.” 

This limited edition collaboration will only be available at Espita Mezcaleria.  The Chamomile Saison will be available for a $1 off the suggested retail price on Friday, May 5^th.

Additionally, Kaj Hackinen, founder of Black Bar Project, which imports Nuestra Soledad, El Jolgorio and Agave de Cortés brands of mezcal (http://www.giffardusa.com), will be on hand as a special “Guest Mezcalier”.  Hackinen will be on hand to discuss mezcal and customize mezcal flights for Espita’s guests in the bar and dining room throughout the evening.

Friday, May 5^th, exclusively during dinner service, from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. 

Espita Mezcaleria is located at 

1250 9^th Street, NW
