The nation's capitol, Washington, D.C., has a long brewing history from early taverns to the current micro breweries and brew pubs.

History

Christian Heurich letterhead. Christian Heurich letterhead.

We have a composite list, with photos, of the cans issues by Christian Heurich Brewing from 1939-1956. 

Just across the Potomac River from Washington is Arlington, Virginia.  They had their own brewery from 1890-1916, the Arlington Brewery.

Alexandria Virginia (also just across the river) was home to the large Robert Portner Brewery from 1861-1916. Here is a link to a local government page on an archeological survey of the site of the old brewery. (open pdf file)
