The DC Beer Show

This week, take a break from your go-to beer and have a cocktail instead. We’re talking with Jade Aldrighette, the General Manager from ANXO. Jade has spent a significant time throughout her career studying how drinks allow us to deeply connect with people. She’s mastered this art, her cocktails have been featured in local publications and national broadcasts, and now, Jade is proving this mastery by heading up the cocktail program at ANXO. Jade shares about foraging botanicals to infuse in drinks, how she matches people with the cocktail they’ll love most, and what cocktails she’s planning for the newest ANXO location.

After the interview, Jacob, Brandy, and Mike discuss the great joys of Oktoberfest, specifically which breweries are crafting Oktoberfest beers. Spoiler alert: there are a lot.

The Brews of Baltimore

DC Beer is shouting a friendly “hello!” to our neighbors up Interstate 95. Mike and Brandy share a pint with Nick Fertig, co-owner of Full Tilt Brewing in Baltimore, MD. Nick, along with his cousin Dan, started as homebrewers, then moved to contract brewing while working full-time jobs, and eventually opened the Full Tilt brick & mortar location. Nick shares how they navigated these different phases of brewing, what kinds of challenges they faced opening a location in early 2020, and shares about their recent collaborations with pop-punk band All Time Low and baseball analyst writer Eno Sarris. Nick shares about big events coming up at Full Tilt that may or may not include surprise tattoos, and then reveals his favorite beers that have emerged from the Baltimore brewing scene.

In other news, it’s never too early to start talking Oktoberfest. That’s right! Brandy reveals the Oktoberfest events coming up this fall that you cannot miss.
