What Is Cider Week at Dacha Beer Garden Shaw?
Cider Week is Dacha Beer Garden's annual celebration of craft and heritage ciders, running across both Shaw and Navy Yard locations. For one week, the tap list expands to spotlight ciders from producers across the US, Europe, and beyond, giving guests an easy way to compare styles side by side on the patio.
This year's Cider Week runs October 28 through November 4, timed just ahead of Halloween. The roster includes Magners Original Irish Cider, Blake's Hard Cider El Chavo Mango and Habanero, Down East Cider Donut, and five more from BRLO, Ace Cider, Aval, Lost Boy, and Potter's Craft Cider.
The Cider Week Menu at Dacha Shaw
Magners Original Irish Cider
A classic from Ireland, crisp and approachable, making it a natural anchor for any cider flight.
BRLO Wild Berry Cider
From the Berlin-based BRLO brewery, this wild berry expression brings a fruit-forward, slightly tart profile.
Ace Craft Cider Guava
A tropical cider from California's Ace Cider, pairing guava fruit character with a dry cider base.
Aval French Cider Blanc
A Normandy-style French cider, lightly sparkling and refined, for guests who want something closer to a natural wine in style.
Lost Boy Wingman Raspberry Cider
From Lost Boy Cider in Alexandria, Virginia, this raspberry cider is a local pick for the DC region.
Blake's El Chavo Mango and Habanero
The boldest pour on the menu: a Michigan-made cider that combines sweet mango with habanero heat.
Down East Cider Donut
Inspired by the fall-fair classic, Down East's Cider Donut is a seasonal crowd favorite with warm baked-apple character.
Potter's Craft Cider Petite Cider
A lower-ABV option from Virginia's Potter's Craft Cider, lighter-bodied and sessionable for an afternoon on the patio.
Paint Your Own Pumpkin at Dacha Shaw, October 28
Pumpkin painting is a hands-on way to open Cider Week, letting guests combine a fall craft activity with the new cider menu. It is a low-key format that works well for groups, couples, or anyone who wants something to do with their hands while they work through the tap list.
The Paint Your Own Pumpkin event takes place at Dacha Beer Garden Shaw on Wednesday, October 28 at 4 PM. Artwork for Cider Week was created by Liz Krueger.
