Another new craft brewery joins us…details from the Washington Post:
We’re only weeks away from tasting the fruits of D.C.’s newest brewery. 3 Stars Brewing fired up its equipment in Takoma this week and should have its beers on tap in D.C. bars in about a month, according to co-founder Dave Coleman. The opening lineup includes the Belgian-style Urban Farmhouse Saison (6.5 percent alcohol by volume), the Southern Belle imperial brown ale (8.7 percent ABV) and Pandemic Porter (9.6 percent ABV), which is brewed with small-batch coffee.
“The higher-ABV beers take longer to get ready and go through the yeast process,” Coleman says. “I also want to build up inventory before we launch, rather than have [bars] sell out of our beer, not have any for a few days, get more, and sell out again.”
3 Stars spent the last year building its reputation on the D.C. beer scene by working with established brewers on a series of “collaboration beers.” I particularly liked the Syndicate Saison, brewed with Salisbury’s Evolution Brewing Company. Expect 3 Stars to experiment frequently and roll out more aggressive beers once the brewers settle into a groove.
