Hear from Pale Fire’s Founder about Next Week’s DC Launch

It seems these days that breweries arrive into the DC market on a weekly basis to try to carve out their niche. Breweries young and old alike see the robust beer scene largely built over the last decade and think, “My beer should be there.” The newest arrival is Harrisonburg, Virginia’s Pale Fire Brewing Company. The brewery, which opened April 2015, has seen its beers appear on lists at a handful of spots in DC, notably the Pints. Salad Days, an “American saison,” has received plaudits not just from the Washington Post’s Fritz Hahn but also from the World Beer Cup (2016) and the Great American Beer Festival (2015), both of which awarded the beer a bronze.

Pale Fire recently signed a DC distribution agreement with Legends Limited and will have its launch week starting Monday, March 19. Although I’ve often taken a curmudgeonly attitude about new breweries arriving in the market (a take for a different day, probably), I’m genuinely excited about Pale Fire’s arrival.
