With summer coming to a close, it’s time to resume our regular happy hour series. Join us at Denizens Brewing Company in Silver Spring next Wednesday, September 10 from 6 to 8 pm.

This month, we’re headed to Denizens Brewing Company, the new brewery and beergarden in South Silver Spring, for drinks, food, and conversation on an outdoor patio within sight of the Red Line. You’ll find Denizens at 1115 East-West Highway, one block west of Georgia Avenue.

One of the region’s newest breweries, Denizens is the result of a new state law that allows microbreweries to sell to the public in Montgomery County without going through the county’s Department of Liquor Control. They offer a couple of their own brews alongside a number of local favorites from breweries like Port City in Alexandria and Brewer’s Art in Baltimore. BBQ Bus, the DC-based food truck, provides a selection of tasty picnic-style dishes.

Denizens is a short walk from the Silver Spring Metro station (Red Line). If you’re coming by bus, it’s a few blocks from the 70/79 stop at Georgia and Eastern avenues, or the S2/S4/S9 stop at Georgia Avenue and Kalmia Road. There’s also a Capital Bikeshare station one block away, at 1200 East-West Highway, and if you’re driving, there’s metered street parking and the Kennett Street Garage one block away.

In the past few months, we’ve met up at Metro-accessible bars Bethesda, Ward 3, and Tysons Corner. Where would you like us to go next? We’re especially interested in suggestions for a future happy hour in Prince George’s County.
