Right Proper Brewing Company


Shaw, Washington, DC

This Shaw brew pub features an intimate scale in the front and a more expansive rear seating area with a view of the brewery. Where most pubs hide the workings of production, displaying only a few tanks, we chose to display the process from fermentation to barrel room, inviting the consumer to visually participate. Featuring a full service, 130 seat restaurant and 2 bar areas, the pub has been recognized for its unique atmosphere and offerings. Photography: Paul Burk
