What You Need to Know: One of the mid­atlantic’s most anticipated openings, Bluejacket hit the ground running in 2013 under the helm of NRG beer director Greg Engert with over 20 beers on tap for their opening. They’ve had a constant expanding rotation ever since. With a large infantry of innovative beers that run the gambit of styles and often subvert tradition in order to expand what we consider beer, this DC brewery relies on flavor profiles and pairings instead of stylistic guidelines. With collaborations with breweries like Stone, Cigar City, and Brasserie Trois Dames, Bluejacket has had no problems pushing limits, packing patrons into the bar, and garnering accolades from the public and industry stalwarts in a short amount of time.
