Anna Phor Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I don't think there is a thread yet about this new local brewery--3 Stars Brewing in Takoma, DC. They have a warehouse and I believe plans to open a homebrew store in NE DC. There is a write-up on the Washington Post that details their launch: Thursday at Birch & Barley/ ChurchKey, then Friday at the Big Hunt. .. the main attraction in 3 Stars Brewing’s Takoma Park warehouse was a gleaming tank of Pandemic Porter, the kegs’ future contents. This 9.6-percent alcohol beast of a beer smells like chocolate and vanilla and tastes like coffee and bitter cacao, with a smooth mouth feel and a whiskeylike, boozy warmth. It’s also a perfect example of the pleasurable havoc that 3 Stars is about to unleash upon the District: beers with big flavors, big alcohol contents and big aspirations to stand out in the increasingly crowded D.C. beer scene.

goodeats Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Congrats to Qualia Coffee too! I understand 3 stars will be using Joel's cold concentrate coffee in one of their brews. Found out through Twitter through Tim Carman's post story. (sorry if there are typos. I don't have Internet again until Friday, so am phone posting. I hate it.)

saf Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Gr. The Post is wrong, Anna is right. Takoma DC. Takoma Park is in MD. Anyhow, the homebrew shop is open, and POPULAR! We've been in several times, and it is a really good shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielK Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The Saison they were pouring on the DC Beer Week cruise was excellent. The porter, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPW Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The Saison they were pouring on the DC Beer Week cruise was excellent. The porter, not so much. Agreed. In other news, they are working on opening a tasting room. Great bunch of very passionate folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
