Ivy City brewery Atlas Brew Works has partnered with Washington DC’s Awesome Con on a special new beer. Hop Bot is a limited release pale ale canned exclusively for the convention and available for purchase at local restaurants on Monday, April 22, 2019 and the brewery’s Tap Room, beginning on Friday, April 26 while supplies last.

Awesome Con will be held on April 26-28 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Prior to the con, attendees can enjoy local restaurants and bars like The Capital Burger, City Tap Penn Quarter, Espita Mezcaleria, Iron Horse Tap Room, Jackpot, Lost & Found, Morris American Bar, Moxy Washington, DC Downtown, and Penn Social.

Hop Bot is made of funky Citra and juicy Mosaic hops, with wheat malt added to the grain bill of the pale ale to produce a robust body that complements the floral and citrus flavors from two of the brewery’s favorite hops. The Awesome Con robot face logo will be used on the cans and tap handles at the participating locations.

“We’re so excited to partner with Awesome Con on this exclusive beer,” Atlas Brew Works founder & CEO Justin Cox said. “Atlas can’t wait to host attendees at the brewery and for the DC community to try this stellar collaboration.”

“This convention has always been about the local fans of all kinds of pop culture. It seemed appropriate as we keep growing to partner with an outstanding brand like Atlas to bring some local flavor to the fans,” Ron Brister, Vice President of Events at LeftField Media, LLC producer of Awesome Con said.
