It's too early for the full DCPA+CJ weekend festival etc. rundown of course, but we'll take this Monday opportunity to remind you that tickets are still available for the East Coast's awesomest beer fest: Snallygaster on Saturday in DC. And if you can't swing Snally this year, there are previews of featured beers at Rustico in North Old Town on Wednesday and at Churchkey (scroll down) in DC on Thursday.

This post is sponsored by Mappica—the no-code platform for building interactive data visuals. DCPA+CJ readers get 20% off their first year with code CIVIC20.
