Winners in the 2010 United States Open Beer Championships were announced last week. More than 700 beers in 50 different categories were submitted.

Budweiser, Live Nation and Haymon Events announced the return of Budweiser Superfest, which begins August 5 for an 18-city tour. The 2010 tour will feature an all-star lineup including Anthony Hamilton, Kem, Jaheim, Raheem DeVaughn, Abraham McDonald and Hal Linton, with more to be announced.

Summer hit DC at least a month early, and now the city is in High Festival season – punctuated by Fourth of July celebrations.
Whether you are seized by a spirit of jingoism, you want to express your appreciation for all the good things (or ignore all the bad things) to be found in the US of A, or you just need a good excuse to go eat something grilled and wash it down with copious amounts of domestic, micro-brewed beer, there are places to enjoy Independence Day throughout the DC area.

So Bier Magazine took a little vacation last month, but we have a sizzling Bier Garden Girl for July. Check out what she’s drinking.
