Please visit The Sovereign on Saturday, March 23rd as we join the top beer bars from across the globe in celebrating Orval Day 2019.

One of the most important beers to ever come out of Belgium, Orval is an amber-hued Saison that is dry-hopped, then finished with Brettanomyces. Intensely aromatic and dry, this one-of-a-kind beer is as complex as it is unique. One of only 12 officially recognized Trappist breweries across the world; all Orval beer is brewed within the walls of Notre Dame d’Orval Monastery. The alluring complexity of this iconoclastic beer has made it a world classic, one that has inspired a generation of brewers across the globe to craft bone-dry beers of mixed-fermentation.

By participating in this event, you are also contributing to a great cause. On this day, Orval will donate proceeds from each bottle sold to the Safe Water Network, which provides clean, sustainable water to Ghana & India.

There is no admission fee for this event. Bottles of Orval will be specially priced for this event.

In 2014, Stillwater Artisanal procured a truckload of freshly emptied California wine barrels and filled them with a mix of blond and dark Saisons. These beers were then blended and aged with varying amounts of assorted California-source wine grapes. After 3 years in oak barrels, roughly 2 years of bottle conditioning, and many blending and tasting sessions, Stillwater is finally ready to release these 5 beautiful beer-wine hybrids. Don't miss your chance to try these incredibly complex and beautiful beers, a project 5 years in the making!

Beginning at 12 PM, Brian will guide guests through a private tasting of each beer in the Preternatural Cuvée Project. All guests will receive one 4 oz. tasting portion of each beer. Reservations are required. Please book soon, as space is extremely limited.

The Stillwater Preternatural Cuvee Project tasting will begin promptly at 12 PM in the upstairs bar. Tickets are $35 each, plus tax. Reservations are available emailing info@thesovereigndc.com or by calling The Sovereign at (202) 774-5875.
