DC Brau’s El Hefe Speaks

We crafted EL HEFE SPEAKS!, our fond farewell to summer, as a collaboration with John Solomon and Chris Frashier. The pair are well known for their fine (and tasty!) work at Old Dominion in Ashburn, VA, during the mid 90's. EL HEFE SPEAKS! is a traditionally brewed German-style Hefe. It is fermented around 65°F and hopped with German Tettnang hops. 11 IBUs and 5.3% ABV make this one extremely drinkable. If you think it speaks to you as well, definitely try a glass... because it will be gone before you can say "sweater weather". "We're tremendously excited to bring this specialty brew to the District," said DC Brau Co-Founder and CEO, Brandon Skall, "Working with other local brewers on this project has made presenting the final product even better." The beer was brewed at DC Brau in early August. "El Hefe Speaks" uses the Weihenstephaner yeast strain, a classic, popular German wheat beer strain used worldwide. John Solomon and Chris Frashier have been a part of the DC brewing community for years. The two worked together at Old Dominion Brewing Company in Ashburn, VA before opening Solly's U Street Tavern. Frashier brewed at Capital City Brewing Company for 7 years before brewing at Old Dominion for 5 years. Solomon worked at Old Dominion for a total of 11 years. COMING SOON IN 22oz BOMBERS!
