Who Was the "Dolly" on the Dacha Tap List?
Dolly is a Belgian blonde ale brewed exclusively for Dacha Beer Garden by the Belgian brewery St. Bernardus. It has been a fixture on the draft list at Dacha Shaw in the heart of Shaw, Washington DC, offered alongside a rotating lineup of imported and local beers. The collaboration between Dacha and St. Bernardus made this one of the more distinctive exclusive pours at any beer garden in the city.
The ale was named in tribute to Dolly Parton long before this week's announcement, making the gesture of dedicating its proceeds to her charity feel like a natural continuation of an ongoing affection.
How Dacha Shaw Is Honoring Her Legacy This Week
For the rest of the week, every Dolly Belgian blonde ale sold company-wide will be donated in full to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, the nonprofit that has placed free books in the hands of children since 1995. Every dollar Dacha collects goes directly to the cause.
St. Bernardus, the brewery that crafts the ale exclusively for Dacha, is matching every dollar donated. The tribute also features original artwork created by artist Liz Krueger, whose illustration accompanies the campaign across Dacha's social channels.
Three Reasons to Come to Dacha Shaw This Week
Order the Dolly, Change a Child's Shelf
The full sale price of every Dolly poured at Dacha Beer Garden Shaw goes to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. St. Bernardus matches it. One Belgian blonde ale funds at least two books.
An Exclusive Belgian Blonde on Draft
The Dolly ale is brewed by St. Bernardus exclusively for Dacha, which means you cannot find it anywhere else on a tap list in Washington DC. The Shaw patio is the place to taste it this week.
Original Tribute Artwork on Display
Artist Liz Krueger created a piece specifically for this tribute. It is part of the campaign Dacha is running alongside the donation drive, a small but concrete gesture that the community here in Shaw takes this seriously.
