DC Beer Fans Can Now Enjoy Atlas Brew Works at the New Bridge District Brewery & Taproom, Opening November 8th

The opening of Atlas Brew Works’ Bridge District Brewery & Tap Room marks a milestone for DC’s craft beer community, blending sustainability, innovation, and local flavor under one roof. This flagship location expands Atlas’s production capacity while bringing Andy’s award-winning pizza and a welcoming new destination to Southeast DC. With its eco-friendly design and community-focused spirit, the brewery embodies a fresh chapter for both Atlas and the city’s beer enthusiasts.

A press release from Atlas Brew Works revealed that the new brewery and taproom will open to the public on Saturday, November 8, at 11am. Atlas is the anchor retail tenant at the Bridge District, the largest multifamily structure in the world to pursue the International Living Future Institute’s Zero Carbon Certification. The forthcoming location will also be the first and only beer production east of the river and offer food from award-winning Andy’s Pizza.

In celebration of its opening weekend, Atlas Bridge District will offer a free slice of Andy’s Pizza with purchase of a pint of beer on Saturday, November 8, and Sunday, November 9, during normal operating hours.

Atlas will move its flagship production brewery location from Ivy City to Southeast DC, quadrupling its production capacity, as Bridge District will have a 30bbl four vessel brewhouse with 120bbl fermentation vessels. The 24,260 square-foot space also boasts a large tap room and sun-soaked patio, in addition to main brewery operations. Fans of the Atlas brand will find familiarity in delicious food offerings from Andy’s Pizza like pizza, salads, wings, and fries, similar to the Alexandria and Navy Yard locations. A semi-private space will also be available for celebrations and social gatherings, and beer tastings and tours will be available for groups when booked in advance.

Located at the foot of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge, Bridge District is a dynamic eight-acre, mixed-use development featuring residential living, retail, public parkland, and community recreation space. The neighborhood is conveniently located on the Washington Metro Green Line and adjacent to a 100-acre national park and the 20-mile Anacostia Riverwalk Trail and offers open space, access to nature, and climate-conscious living.

Keeping with its reputation and mission of sustainable stewardship, Atlas Bridge District has implemented a range of environmentally conscious practices throughout its operations. The brewery features a high-efficiency, gas-free brewhouse that is fully integrated into the building’s base systems, allowing excess heat from the brewing process to be captured and reused elsewhere in the facility. Standard water reclamation processes are still in place, and all spent grain is donated to local farmers for agricultural use. In addition, Atlas recently made the move to 100% recyclable aluminum cans, eliminating plastic wraps and labels to ensure the entire can remains in the recycling stream. These efforts underscore Atlas Brew Works’ dedication to reducing its environmental footprint while continuing to deliver high-quality craft beer.

Expansion worth noting
Blewett Brewing opening in Wenatchee marks a major expansion for the Leavenworth brewery as it brings its brewpub experience to a new community.

Atlas Bridge District Brewery & Tap Room is located at 600 Howard Road SE, Suite 100, Washington, DC 20020. Atlas Bridge District will open at 4pm Mondays through Fridays, and 11am on Saturdays and Sundays.
