As DC enters phase 1c of vaccination, we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. However, it is more important now than ever that we are vigilant and maintain best practices to reduce the spread of COVID-19 within our community. Please take a moment to review Everyday is Wednesday’s COVID-19 guide. For information on vaccines in DC, visit https://coronavirus.dc.gov/vaccine.

Have you already spent your tax refund on drinks to drown the weltschmerz of this long and lonely COVID winter? Or have you been unable to even begin them, consumed by the thought that reality is a veil, a fiction built on the back of perceptions packaged by our senses, which are themselves infinitely fallible, that nothing therefore is truly knowable and everything is meaningless?

Then your hares invite you to drown that existential angst in booze and exercise endorphins, for nothing is certain but death and taxes...and beer!

Brew Crew!

Brew Crew will be available to serve you a limited amount of libations at both beer check and end. In order to ensure that this is done in a safe manner, we require the following:

• Hand sanitizer will be provided. Please sanitize your hands before approaching the Brew Crew station.


• Brew Crew is required to wear a mask at all times. You must also wear a mask when interacting with them.


• Trails will be cans-only. Brew Crew will only purchase enough cans for rego'd hashers, so be sure to sign up!


• You must pour your beer into a vessel before leaving the crew station.


• Bottled water will also be provided - stay hydrated!


• Do not reach for a beer! Brew Crew will hand your beer to you by placing it down on a table bench.


• There will be no bag van or snacks provided... YET. Stay tuned as we work on ways to re-introduce these aspects safely.


• Remember that your Crew has volunteered out of the goodness of their heart. They are offering their time, vehicle, and exposure to make you happy. Show them the respect they deserve!
