What Is the 250 Years of Cheer Beer Series at Dacha Shaw?

The 250 Years of Cheer series is a monthlong rotating beer program at Dacha Beer Garden Shaw created to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. Each month the tap list highlights 3–5 beers tied to specific states, introduced in chronological order of their entry into the union, blending American history with craft and classic brewing.

The concept pairs well-known American brands with independent craft breweries from across the country, giving guests a genuine tour of the nation's brewing landscape in one Shaw beer garden. This month's featured selections are Cigar City Brewing, Shiner Beer, and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

This Month's Featured Breweries on the Dacha Shaw Tap List

Dacha Shaw's draft list for this month's chapter of the series draws from three distinct American brewing traditions, ranging from a celebrated Florida craft brewery to a Texas regional icon to one of the most recognized American lager labels in the country.

Cigar City Brewing

Tampa, Florida. Cigar City is one of the Southeast's most recognized craft breweries, known for Jai Alai IPA and a range of Florida-influenced ales and lagers now featured on the Dacha Shaw pour list as part of the 250 Years of Cheer rotation.

Shiner Beer

Shiner, Texas. The Spoetzl Brewery has been producing Shiner Bock and its family of lagers in the Texas Hill Country since 1909. Its inclusion in the series represents the deep craft heritage of the Lone Star State.

Pabst Blue Ribbon

Founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. PBR is among the most storied names in American lager history, and its place in the 250 Years of Cheer lineup reflects the "most American beer makers" dimension of the series alongside independent craft selections.

Why Dacha Shaw Is the Right Place to Take This Journey

As the original Dacha Beer Garden in Shaw, Washington DC, the 7th Street location has long been a neighborhood gathering spot for residents of Shaw, U Street, and the Howard University corridor. A rotating, history-driven tap series fits naturally into a space that has always treated the beer list as a point of conversation.

The outdoor patio at 1600 7th Street NW provides the kind of unhurried environment where working through a flight of state-by-state beers actually makes sense. Guests can ask the bar staff which states are represented this month and trace the series alongside the broader American bicentennial anniversary calendar.
