Friends, September’s Port City Trivia has been compromised.  Within our team of inquisitive question agents lies a mole who has seemingly been able to penetrate the highest-level of Port City trivia.  It is now our job to root him or her out the only way we know how: with a highly TOP SECRET version of trivia.  That’s right, it is time for SPY TRIVIA!

The Tasting Room opens at 4 p.m. Trivia starts at 7 p.m. Come match wits with your craft-beer drinking comrades in an effort to attain the coveted title of “Port City Trivia Champion.” Our covert operations will rely on the counterintelligence of our very own trivia host and aspiring MI6 agent Sean.  But no team of double-agents is complete without a seasoned spymaster, so we have enlisted the help of DC’s very own International Spy Museum!  Our friends from the museum will be in the house and have provided assets on each surrounding rooftop as well as prizes for the most informed team of informants.

Rules: Trivia will start promptly at 7 p.m.. Teams are limited to no more than 6 operatives. Any smart phone use during competition is deemed highly explosive and will result in immediately expulsion from witness protection.

Team reservations are encouraged, and trivia tends to fill up quickly, we strongly recommend you register your team now – here!

To maximize our space we will assign team seating in order of team registration. We ask that if you have any change in team size that you notify us at info@portcitybrewing.com. Only one person needs to register for the entire team. Trivia will last just under 2 hours.

***Costumes and general flair are encouraged, especially anything directly pertaining to the main theme: espionage***

Wondering what to do about dinner? Rocklands Barbeque and Grilling Co. Food Truck will be out serving up tasty delights. Ask about THE PEARL!

The winner for Battle of the Barrel Aged Beers at Boundary Stone DC…was Port City!

We were paired up with One Eight Distilling and together created, not one but, two barrel aged beers. On Friday September 20th, we will be tapping a keg of the Barrel Aged COLOSSAL 6 that took home first place AND a Barrel Aged COLOSSAL 8 as well!

THE BREWS: Original batch, COLOSSAL 6, Russian Imperial Stout, from December 2016 aged 6 months in One Eight Distilling Wheated Bourbon Barrels previously filled with Zeke’s Coffee. Inky black with a tan cap this 12.7% ABV barrel-aged brew burst with notes of coffee, cocoa powder, leather and bourbon.

Original batch, Colossal 8, Doppelbock Lager, brewed in 2018, aged 6 months in One Eight Distilling 2 Year High Rye Bourbon Barrels.

Both brews are available on draft in-house only. Come admire our trophy and taste the winning beer, while supplies last.

Start your week off with a Monday evening run from Port City Brewing Company.

The run meets at the brewery tasting room before heading out for a 1, 3 or 5 mile run (it’s an out and back route so really it’s as long as you care to make it). It’s a pleasant route through a park and then picking up a paved path along Holmes Run.

Expect a fun crowd, support from Pacers Running staff, and occasionally vendors will be there with shoes to try out on the run.

Join us Tuesday, October 1 for an evening of Czech Beer History and Tradition! We will be hosting the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Washington, DC and Evan Rail, writer and beer expert for a talk followed by Czech Beer Trivia; hosted by Port City’s own Trivia Czar, Sean.

A thousand years of brewing tradition, the world’s finest hops and malt, and highly skilled Bohemian brewmasters create the inimitable taste of Czech beer. As part of the ongoing Czech Beer Days tradition, Evan Rail, a California writer and beer expert living in Prague — who guided Anthony Bourdain around Czech breweries and pubs — will illuminate the history and tradition of Czech brewing, highlight the cultural contexts of beer in everyday life in the Czech lands, and explain why Czechs drink the most beer in the world.

Lecture begins at 7pm followed by trivia at 8pm. (Free to Attend – RSVP to save your seat)
