SNALLYGASTER 2022

Snallygaster is Neighborhood Restaurant Group’s flagship colossal beer festival organized annually since 2012. The prestigious restaurant group is recognized for their unmatched hospitality but also for their beer-centric knowledge and focus behind renowned food and beverage concepts like Churchkey, Bluejacket Brewery, Birch & Barley, Shelter and the Sovereign.

Named after the mythical Mid-Atlantic dragon, this event has been monumental in attracting a curious scope of drinkers, savvy brewers and food vendors from across the Mid-Atlantic. For one day and one day only, they’ll simultaneously unleash an unparalleled beer, cider, wine and cocktail selection alongside the best of the best in food trucks, live music on two stages, entertainment and family fun.

Beverage Director and Partner Greg Engert curates each and every selection at Snallygaster, bringing the same laser-like approach he applies daily to his lists at Churchkey, Birch & Barley, Red Apron, Rustico, The Sovereign, Owen’s Ordinary, Shelter and more. Festival goers can expect a veritable sea of small batch, highly sought-after craft brews on draft from the finest American and international producers (many of which will make their DC debut right here, and only here), as well as a host of cask ales and locally brewed beers from renowned breweries in our region - and so much more.
