Jack Rose Dining Saloon to host several crazy events at the Craft Brewers Conference

More than 6,000 craft beer enthusiasts and industry professionals (and CBB editors!) will soon descend on Washington, D.C., for the Craft Brewers Conference and BrewExpo America (CBC), and a local craft brewing haven announced a host of events for thirsty attendees.

Equipped with 20 brand-new, 304 surgical-grade stainless steel draft lines which run from rooftop terrace to saloon bar, Jack Rose Dining Saloon and beer director Nahem Simon will be pouring some of the best beer in the city that week. From a Game of Thrones-inspired “Feast of the Iron Throne” beer dinner featuring Ommegang’s new brew collaboration with HBO, to a K Pop-themed “Gnomegangnam Style” beer party, and even an “Epic” 20-tap takeover from Utah’s Epic Brewing Co., it’s sure to be an epic four days at Jack Rose during the CBC.
