Buckle up, beer aficionados! In this frothy installment of The DC Beer Show, our jovial hosts Michael Stein, Brandy Holder, and Jacob Berg, along with our esteemed guest LaTreace Harris, take us on a sudsy journey that's as educational as it is intoxicating!

Pouring into the conversation, LaTreace spills the hops on her vibrant experiences at Oktoberfest in New Hampshire and her flavorful interactions at beer conferences. As the Beery Godmother, she's brewing a mission to expand beer wisdom beyond the brewery walls into the realm of restaurants and hotels while championing women of color in the industry.

Our host Brandy rallies behind the quest for female beer education while celebrating LaTreace's initiative. Sipping on a thoughtful brew, LaTreace recounts the delightful Peoples Pale Ale sent her way by DC Beer's own Jordan Harvey, diving into a sensory analysis of its aroma and taste.

Here's to being an outstanding human! Our hosts and LaTreace remind us to support black-owned businesses during Black History Month and beyond. LaTreace shares the grains of her educational journey, from the inception of "Beer Fact Fridays" to aspirations of enhancing her content with the luscious knowledge gained from pursuing a Cicerone certification.

We kick the fermenter lid off some buzz-worthy brewery news as Brightworks Brewing announces a spring 2024 opening in Manassas, with the community pitching in on beer style choices. Our dynamic trio and treasured guest dish out praise for connecting with the public's palate.

As if we haven't treated you to enough cheers, Michael extends an invite to join in on the excitement at Lost Dog, Hellbender, and Other Half for a joyous beer march, while Jacob tips the mug to an upcoming gather-around at Metro Bar with Jordan.

So, raise your pint glass and sink into your favorite chair for this hoppy mix of culture, conversation, and craft beer camaraderie. This episode of The DC Beer Show – "The Beery Godmother," is all about clinking mugs to community, education, and the sheer joy of beer! Cheers! 🍻
