The first brewery to open in the District since the 1950s shipped their first bar order this afternoon, a number of kegs bound for an area bar, as pictures above. In addition, the brewery this weekend announced a launch party at Meridian Pint this Friday afternoon, with pints of The Public running just $4. There will also be awesome DC Brau swag for the public, too. If you missed our profile of Brandon Skall and Jeff Hancock, it’s not too late to get caught up in preparation for Friday.
