What Is Sour Liz Week at Dacha Shaw?

Sour Liz Week is Dacha Beer Garden Shaw's annual celebration of sour and wild ales, billed as the most lip-puckering week of the year. The event spans both Dacha locations and features an array of rare, hard-to-find, and unique sour beers on tap for a full seven days. Prizes and contests run throughout the week alongside the tap takeover.

The 2024 festival runs August 12–19 at Dacha Beer Garden Shaw, 1600 7th Street NW, Washington DC 20001, as well as the Navy Yard location.

Sour Lizzy: The Exclusive Dacha Collaboration Beer

Headlining Sour Liz Week is Sour Lizzy, a brand-new beer made exclusively for Dacha by Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY. It is a mixed-fermentation Belgian-style sour described as bubbly, subtly funky, and eminently drinkable. Tasting notes include pinot grigio, green apple, pear, and lemongrass.

The beer was designed to welcome skeptics as much as devoted sour fans. As the caption puts it directly: "I don't usually like sour beer, but this is exceptional" is what Dacha says everyone who tries it ends up saying. Festival artwork is by @lizkrueger.
