Epic Beer Cellars with Dave Delaplaine

Just before one last winter snowstorm rolled through Washington D.C. I sat down with Dave Delaplaine, the General Manager and Chief Brew Guru of Roofer’s Union in Adams Morgan (just a block from last week’s guests from The Green Zone). Dave is known for his eccentric beer menu and a prolific list of cellared beer offerings. Cellaring beer is a foreign concept to many people, and not all beer should be aged. Dave walks us through how to determine what beers will benefit from aging, his process when conceiving beer cocktails, and how to choose expensive and/or rare beers that you might not be familiar with. We’re all beer this week, so grab the nearest funky bottle of brew you have and enjoy.
