Weihe’s Dunkel Garten
Golden Triangle
Beer
Parti Animal
A robust Irish Stout built for revelry.
Rich as well blended masonry, this stout boasts a creamy head reminiscent of freshly poured concrete. Aromas of roasted barley and dark chocolate rise like the blueprints for a great night. Its smooth, velvety texture flows across the palate, a masterclass in sturdy engineering. Notes of coffee and a subtle sweetness create a balanced structure, capable of supporting even the most spirited celebrations. It’s the foundation for a good time, guaranteed to top out well.
Woofeweizen
Refreshing Wheat Beer waiting for you at the door after a hard day at work.
This German-style weissbier boasts a hazy appearance and a light, fruity aroma with hints of banana and clove. The taste is smooth and slightly sweet, balanced by a subtle tartness. Its light body and effervescence make it highly drinkable, perfect for any weather or pairing with lighter fare. Woofeweizen offers a unique and enjoyable twist on a classic style, sure to please both wheat beer aficionados and casual drinkers alike. Unleash your relaxation and smooth over any ruff day.
When Eddie Weihe founded the architecture firm that would become WDG in 1938, he committed himself to three principals: great design, client satisfaction, and high quality brewing. Whether relaxing at his drafting table or saluting the topping out of his latest project, Eddie lived by the idea that a hard day’s work should always end with a relaxing sip of his handcrafted beer.
Eighty-eight years later, Weihe’s Dunkel Garten follows in that tradition by blending WDG’s commitment to architectural excellence with craft beers that showcase the attention to detail on which our clients have come to rely. A variety of hops and robust fermentables infuse these brews with the same passion of our founder’s original vision. On behalf of WDG, we invite you to sample the finest we have to offer and raise a toast to Eddie Weihe, a man of exquisite taste and commitment to great beer.

Bee J’s Cookies, based in Washington DC, was cofounded by two millennials who believe in the convening power of food.
As a Black-owned business, Bee J’s Cookies endeavors to be a staple in the local community (and beyond).
We like to say that Bryant Jones, our baker, doesn’t have a sweet tooth; he has sweet teeth! Growing up, Bryant spent summers - and at times a few years - living with his grandma, Sweetie, when his mom had military assignments overseas. Sweetie made everything from scratch, and Bryant absorbed these cooking skills and would serve decadent desserts and treats to friends and family, some of which were based on family recipes.
Andrea O’Neal is one of five kids and the kitchen has always been at the heart of her childhood home. She’s fondly dubbed the chief taster in the Bee J’s Cookies kitchen! Andrea’s background is in communications and public relations. After meeting Bryant and tasting his delicious desserts, she helped craft the Bee J’s Cookies brand. Where to find

Benefits of Satin
Satin naturally retains moisture, it doesn’t absorb it, allowing your hair to stay moisturized and protected. This leads to stronger and healthier hair.
Compared to cotton, satin is a much softer and silkier material. You see, traditional hoodies are often made with cotton, when hair interacts with a material like cotton there is a lot of friction which causes frizz and breakage. Due to the silky nature of satin there is a lot less friction which helps minimize breakage and frizz.
Satin is simply less disruptive. Whether it be full out fro, last night’s twists, summer braids or your forever locs, satin saves your style! Less friction means more preservation.
Philomina Kane is a Ghanaian-American entrepreneur and content creator. Born with a passion for the arts, her early years were filled with captivating performances in numerous theater and dance productions. In 2017, she graduated from Princeton University and began to cement herself as a haircare YouTuber. Garnering a following of nearly 200,000 subscribers, Philomina became a guiding force, empowering Black women to embrace and care for their natural hair. In 2020, Philomina founded KIN Apparel, a brand dedicated to crafting satin lined hoodies and hats for both hair protection and comfort. The innovative approach of KIN Apparel caught the attention of Shark tank and in 2021 Philomina landed a six-figure deal with SKIM’s founding partner Emma Grede. Philomina is a winner of the prestigious Pharrell Williams’ Black Ambition Prize and a Forbes 30 Under 30 lister. Today, she remains committed to the growth of her brand and shares her wealth of knowledge with aspiring entrepreneurs, teaching them how to monetize their passion.

2018 Mourvedre - Suisun Valley, CA
This Mourvedre is grown in a vineyard that experiences hot days and cool nights. This allows the fruity notes to ripen while preserving strong acid.

A silky palette of subtle dark cherry and violet, with strong earthy vibes of leather, stone, and smokey cooked meats. Medium bodied with balanced acidity and strong but smooth tannins on the finish.

Mulan Dumpling
Classic Pork & Cabbage Dumplings
Curry Chicken Dumplings
Shrimp & Chives Dumplings
Plant-based Dumplings
All served with Ginger Soy dipping sauce
Hi, I’m Kristy Lam, the founder of Mulan Dumpling. We are a women-owned company dedicated to the well-being of our customers and staff. Inspired by Mulan, the legendary Chinese young woman, we share a passion for dumplings and women’s empowerment.
Our journey began with a health scare in 2016 when my partner Roya Shadravan discovered she had a brain tumor. Thankfully, she survived the operation without any harmful symptoms. This life-changing event made us extremely conscious about the food we eat and its health benefits. It was challenging to find convenient Asian cuisine free from additives and artificial ingredients, while those made with “clean” ingredients often lacked flavor. We believe it’s possible to have BOTH!
This led us to create Mulan Dumpling, where we pour our heart and soul into crafting flavorful dumplings using only natural and simple ingredients.

Peruvian Brothers
Empanadas, Hot Sauce
Mini Beef Empanadas
Mini Chicken Empanadas
Mini Spinach & Cheese Empanadas
After eleven years of operation, the Peruvian Brothers have expanded from one original food truck to four food trucks, two restaurants including their newest restaurant located at the Amazon HQ2 location in National Landing, concession stands & food trucks at stadiums, theatres, zoos, farmer’s markets and a large scale catering company serving the entire District of Columbia metro area including Maryland and Virginia.
Brothers Giuseppe and Mario Lanzone were born and raised off the coast of Lima, Perú, in a close-knit community of “La Punta” where family and the ocean reigned. The only time they didn’t spend in the ocean was spent feasting on fresh fruits, vegetables and meats prepared by loving hands. When developing Peruvian Brothers, Giuseppe and Mario wanted to give DC not only delicious Peruvian ingredients and flavors but also a piece of their unique heritage. Our Delicious Baked Empanadas are made daily with fresh delicious ingredients and lots of love.
Our Rocoto Hot Sauce bottles are adorned with tiny chullos (Peruvian Hats) at the top of each bottle which are hand-knitted by women artisans in the mountains of Peru. One of our goals here at Peruvian Brothers is to provide these women with continued employment opportunities to help them support their families. All Rocoto Hot Sauce purchases help us continue to help these women artisans in need.

Thrasher’s Spiced Rum (40% abv)

Specialty Cocktail
Tiki TNT Problem Forgetter: Thrasher’s Spiced Rum, Bourbon, Peach Liquor, Honey, Lime, Overproof Rum, Cream
Thrasher’s Rum is made at Potomac Distilling Company which also houses Tiki TNT ‘Rum Bar’ at the District Wharf. To make it easy to find, the Distillery has a 74 foot brick smokestack with ‘Thrashers Rum’ painted on one side and ‘Make Rum, Not War’ on the other. It is a landmark we can see when crossing the Francis Case Memorial Bridge and from any spot on the Wharf by the river. In the works since 2016, this project was the logical next step for Todd Thrasher, who made a career for himself in bars since he started bartending in college and moved up the ranks to manager, sommelier, cocktail maker, and business partner. Todd Thrasher made a name for himself by making his own mixes, usually from the best ingredients available from the season. He experimented with different methods, presentations and flavors. Rum is Todd’s favored spirit since his college years, so when presented with the opportunity to open his own business: a distillery, it had to be a rum distillery. We hope you will taste the love, passion and craft in this new local product by Todd Thrasher.
