Right Proper Brewing Co. in Shaw pairs its housemade brews with Southern-inspired American fare, all in a chic, mural-adorned setting perfect for gatherings.
"You definitely have seen Right Proper’s beers in restaurants and in grocery stores. But just because you can buy their brews as readily as you can order a side of fries or pick up a pint of milk, doesn’t mean you should skip the brewery itself. Right Proper’s beers are essential DC drinking, and the Brookland production house and tasting room is a must visit. In addition to fresh beer, there are murals by locally based artists like Patrick Owens, Kelly Towles, and Nico Amortegui. Make time for a tour to see where Right Proper’s magic is made before settling down with a pint or spreading out on the outdoor patio if the weather is nice. " - madeline weinfield

"This brewpub is known for its rotating selection of artful and experimental brews. Styles tend to be on the lighter side of the spectrum – expect to see plenty of farmhouse ales, saisons, and other rustic styles. Food fits the gastropub model with options like burgers, pastas, salads, and appetizers like beer battered cheese curds and baked mac and cheese. Right Proper also operates a production house in Brookland that includes a taproom with a dozen rotating drafts." - Travis Mitchell, Tierney Plumb
"This local brewery and pub in Shaw serves a popular riff on a certain chain’s iconic fried chicken sandwich. The Southern-fried “chick-filet” ($15) comes on a brioche bun with Boursin cheese, pickles, lettuce, and tomato." - Tim Ebner, Gabe Hiatt, Vinciane Ngomsi
"This local brewery has partnered with the local chapter of American Outlaws, Astro Beer Hall, Pink Boots Society, and Cerebral Brewing to produce an exclusive beer for Women’s World Cup enjoyment. The GOAL’d Lager is available on tap at both Right Proper locations, and you can also find it at Astro Beer Hall, Quincy Hall, Franklin Hall, and Penn Social. Beer is $5 at happy hour, plus $6 bites." - Tim Ebner
