ARIZONA WILDERNESS: TAP TAKEOVER + BOOK TALK WITH AUTHORS JONATHAN BUFORD & MIKE QUIGLEY!
Thursday, April 23rd | 6:00-8:00 PM

Join ChurchKey on Thursday, April 23rd, as we host a book presentation of “Arizona Wilderness: A Celebration of the State's 90 Most Pristine Places” alongside special beers from the Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company!

Our special guests for the evening include Jonathan Buford (Author and Founder of Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company) and Mike Quigley (Arizona State Director of The Wilderness Society). Jonathan recently authored “Arizona Wilderness: A Celebration of the State's 90 Most Pristine Places". He and Mike have taken the trip to bring its message of cherishing public lands to The District.

Jonathan Buford moved from Ohio to Arizona in 2002, where his exposure to the state’s landscapes became the defining influence on his career. A backpacking trip through Arizona’s wilderness crystallized the idea of building a brewery that fused craft beer with environmental stewardship and local identity. In 2013, Arizona Wilderness was born, and has since structured its philosophy around conservation and environmental awareness.

Last year, Jonathan released a book of the same name, which highlights all 90 of the wild lands in Arizona. Told through photographs and journal entries, Arizona Wilderness discovers the different ecosystems, different seasons, different light, and different perspectives that are Arizona. Find out more about the book here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/arizona-wilderness-jonathan-buford/1148538425.

You won’t want to miss the opportunity to sip featured beers from Arizona Wilderness Brewing, while Jonathan and Mike present the new book and their experiences in Arizona.

There is no admission fee for this event. Seats will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

ORVAL DAY 2026!
Saturday, March 21st | 12:00 PM - Close

ChurchKey is proud to join the top beer bars from across the globe in celebrating Orval Day 2026 by featuring bottles of this classic at a special price!

One of the most important beers to ever come out of Belgium, Orval is an amber-hued Belgian Pale Ale that is dry-hopped, then finished with Brettanomyces. Intensely aromatic and dry, this one-of-a-kind beer is as complex as it is unique. One of only 10 officially recognized Trappist breweries across the world; all Orval beer is brewed within the walls of Notre Dame d’Orval Monastery. The alluring complexity of this iconoclastic beer has made it a world classic, one that has inspired a generation of brewers across the globe to craft bone-dry beers of mixed-fermentation.

By participating in this event, you are also contributing to a great cause. On this day, Orval will donate proceeds from each bottle sold to the National Forest Foundation, which brings people together to restore and enhance our National Forests and Grasslands.

There is no admission fee for this event. Bottles of Orval will be specially priced at $9 for this event.

HELLES BOCK BASH 2026 AT CHURCHKEY: 8 RARE FRANCONIAN SPRING LAGERS ON DRAFT
Saturday, March 7th | 12:00 PM - Close

Join ChurchKey on Saturday, March 7th, as we celebrate German Helles Bock beers! These beers start releasing in Germany around this time, and to honor this classic German lager style, we will pour a total of 8 imported, hard-to-find versions, plus we’ll have German-inspired food specials from The Mallard kitchen!

Bock beer traces its roots to the medieval brewing town of Einbeck in northern Germany. As its popularity grew into Munich, Bavarians pronounced “Einbeck” more like “Ainbock,” and over time, that was shortened simply to “bock.” Interestingly, “Bock” also means “goat” in German, and once the pronunciation shifted, brewers embraced the coincidence. The goat became the symbolic mascot of the style—a tradition still visible on many bock beer labels today.

There are many substyles of Bock beer, including Dunkles Bock (darker), Doppelbock (double), Weizenbock (wheat-based), and our featured style, Helles Bock (a light-colored version also referred to as “Maibock”). You won’t want to miss your chance to try this special lineup of beers -- including Knoblach Stammberg Bock, Mönchsambacher Weihnachts-Bock, and even Nikl-Brau’s Helles Doppelbock!

There is no admission fee for this event. All featured beers will be available a la carte.
