Day Seven of Garden of Glam’s Holiday Gift Guide featuring Mari Rodela of DC Brau Brewing
Mari is the Community Liaison for DC Brau. DC Brau is DC’s first packaging brewery since 1956 and brews its delicious beers in Northeast DC in a warehouse decorated with murals done by local artists. I must be honest, I am not a beer person, but have loved every beer I have tried that was brewed by DC Brau. I think DC Brau is turning me into a person and that really says something! DC Brau is unique, eclectic, innovative and enhances the DC beer and culinary scene with their forward-thinking attitude and approach to microbrewing. And this is the very reason I knew Mari would be perfect for this Holiday collaboration!

Junius Cold Brew Coffee (get it here)
“Cold brewed coffee is a new obsession of mine. The process of cold brewing coffee brings out the complexity of coffee beans. This would be great for any coffee lover on your shopping list. Junius Cold Brewed Coffee Company, a new DC-based company sells both subscription or one time gifts through their website. It also happens to be the best cold brewed coffee I’ve tried.” – Mari
