“C-Suite” is a term from the class of executives at the top of a company whose titles generally start with Chief and end with Officer. CEO, CFO, COO, etc.

Admittedly, I doubt these titles are used in government work but the principle remains the same: where does the boss live? The event will be near there or halfway between the office and there, never further away from the boss’ residence/hotel than the office.

So I'm pretty sure Space isn't a Gov't employee, but works for a Firm that does business with the Feds
and I'm sure they have a bunch of C-suite staff, likely a woman minority who is the President, but only has people magazines on her desk

Denizen's is woman/minority owned, so this tracks.

that was in reference to all the Beltway "consulting" firms that apply for federal contracts
I've worked with enough of them to know, most of them scamming the feds

The SBA states that “the federal government's goal is to award at least five percent of all federal contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses each year.”
there is another one for Minority owned ones too
there are a few categories…and lots of money on the line


I think the intent of the program is admirable
the execution and vetting is pathetic and most of these firms are in fact owned by some old white male who installs his wife or some other unqualified person to be president but only on the letter head, not in actually running of the company


Props to Denizen's, but there is no program for beer producers to get special access to gov't pork

unless he's changed jobs and hasn't told us, Space is gov-employed.

Believe me, we’d know. He’s never stop talking about and his new PTO schedule.

I know little, but say a lot
can't believe all of it

The Brazilian Art of Drinking a Beer ‘In the Ass’

no, not boofing.  sorry not sorry.

Speaking of Brazil and beer…the last time we were at Chruchkey we shared a highly rated DIPA from the highly rated Spartacus Brewery in Brazil.  https://untappd.com/brewery/top_rated?country=brazil It wasn't very good. A sample of one, but maybe the locals are rating their hometown beers too high.

or, the beer wasn't in a good state.  did it spend several weeks in a hot container on the deck of a cargo ship?  how old was the can?

i share your desire to try beers from other parts of the world, but IPA isn't a style i'd choose.

Ha ha IPA 🍺 in South America!

Weekend beer roundup:

Snallygaster was fun, even with just the basic ticket. Lots of good beers.

Denizens and Astro Lab were about what you guys said they would be.

so when you go to these fests, do you drink only 8oz of beer total?

More like 4 ounces, shared. If it's really good, I go grab a second four ounce pour.

funny, when I pay like $50 to go to one of these fests, I make sure I drink about 60oz of beer minimum

Seems like that would be the way….

wow, the brew shop in arlington just got some interesting cans

It was $65 and I drank my fair share. I don't really keep ttrack of how much I consume.

The way I look at it is…$65 is the same as $50 in a bar when you factor in tax and tip. You're drinking 4 ounce pours of premium beers, which can run you $4-$7 at Churchkey. So you probably need to consume about 30-50 ounces to break even.

The beauty of Snallygaster is that you have 400+ beers to choose from, far more than you do at any craft beer bar. Many of them from breweries that you just don't see on an everyday basis, even in beer rich DC.

I have cans of The Other One sitting in my fridge, but I haven't had one. They were also pouring it at Snallygaster but I don't remember if I had it.

Reciprocal and Substance are top notch.

Fun fact: The owner of the Answer, An Bui, is the brother of the owner of CLAG. Hence, the collaboration.

So you got drunk. Admit it!

When did I say I didn't?

The good thing about drinking from 2-6 is you sleep through the worst of the hangover. I was completely fine when i go up in the morning. Or maybe it means I don't get as drunk as I did in my youth.
