Huge thanks to & City Paper for the spotlight on our Beverage Director/ Partner, Greg Engert (), and our b**r programs across DC - Bluejacket, ChurchKey, The Sovereign & Shelter!

Check out the kind words from DC City Paper's Best of DC 2026 Editor's Pick below and at link in bio:

Best B**r Connoisseur Whose B**rs You Definitely Want to Drink: Greg Engert

"My tolerance for “shopping” is low so I tend to avoid Georgetown, but I will go out of my way to venture there for the Sovereign, which features 50 drafts, more than 350 bottles, and a curated list of delicious Belgian b**rs that are otherwise hard to find. Greg Engert, a partner and beverage director at the Sovereign, ChurchKey, and Bluejacket Brewery, is behind the excellent selection at these bars. My friends and I watched the first U.S. match of the World Cup at ChurchKey: The vibes were positive, the service was top-notch, and they offered discounted b**rs. Engert is a fan of my band’s label (Slumberland Records); he collaborated with Ocelot Brewing on a special edition in the label’s honor (which Ocelet describes as “a modern hazy IPA given an out-of-time quality in tribute to Slumberland by blending old-school and new-school hops”), helped organize the tribute party, and is just a lovely person. The b**rs he curates and helps make across these spots are all amazing and well worth the trip." —Matthew Dingee, Lorelei
