Welcome back to The DC Beer Show, where hosts Mike Stein, Brandy Holder, and Jake Berg, along with their special guest Greg Engert, give you the ultimate preview of the highly anticipated Snallygaster beer festival in this exciting episode!

We start with a tantalizing overview of what’s brewing for this year's Snallygaster. This year’s fest promises to feature a unique mix of international beers that aren’t easily found locally, making it a huge draw for beer enthusiasts.

Jake Berg points out that Snallygaster brings diverse beer selections and supports a good cause: fundraising for Arcadia Farm. Mike Stein reflects on last year’s event and emphasizes the value of networking, learning, and experiencing the craft beer industry up close. Panels packed with insights and an array of unique, rare beers aim to make this year even better.

We learn about some breweries pouring at Snallygaster, like Peter Allen and CLAG from Ohio. Plus, Greg Engert hints at some fascinating potential collaborations and special events, including Churchkey's 15th-anniversary bash. Who doesn’t love an opportunity to taste some obscure German beer styles and maybe even stumble upon a gravity cask or two?

Weather plays a crucial role too, with good forecasts boosting ticket sales. Despite past rains, attendance has remained strong, proving how dedicated Snally fans really are. Oh, and let's not forget those themed swag items—this year’s early '80s MTV theme is bound to be a hit!

Our hosts also share their current beer favorites, with Mike savoring an English stout and Brandy rallying for more brown ales (hashtag #brownalesforBrandy). Everyone is drinking something special, from Marlene’s Berlinerweisser to Montucky Cold Snack, setting the laid-back tone for the lively discussions.

As we wrap things up, there's a nod to the various behind-the-scenes efforts. Kudos go to key organizers like Tim Lu and Bruno Simoes for making Snallygaster a standout event, year after year.

So, grab a cold beer, get cozy, and tune in for a preview packed with fun, facts, and flavors as we gear up for the Snallygaster extravaganza on The DC Beer Show!
