Attend Events
The Georgetown University Association of Retired Faculty and Staff (GU Retirees) provides a number of opportunities throughout the year for retirees to connect with each other, enjoy cultural events and socialize. These include:
- guided tours of museums, galleries, and other sites of cultural and historical interest in the area; and
- luncheon meetings with featured speakers from the Georgetown community.
We offer a mix of in-person and virtual events. Not a paid-up member? Click here to join or pay your dues. Sign-up information will be sent in the GU Retirees newsletter and special announcement emails.
Craft Brewery Visit
See the craft brewing process and sample a variety of beers.
October 11th, Saturday at 2 pm
Right Proper Brewery
920 Girard St NE
Right Proper Brewing Co. is owned by Mr. Thor Cheston, who is a Georgetown University alumnus. He will give us a guided tour of the production facility with explanations about the brewing process, and he will host a tasting session for us as his personal guests. There is no charge for the brewery tour or the tasting. Food service will be available via a food truck at the site; we pay for what we eat.
The production facility for the craft brewery and the tasting room are located at 920 Girard St NE, in a residential neighborhood of Brookland, Washington, DC. There is a small outdoor beer ‘garden,’ and there is an indoor bar and tasting room.
The brewery is accessible via Metrorail Red Line train at the Rhode Island Avenue station. The walk from the station to the site is seven blocks. Car parking is available on the residential streets. (Please note that Right Proper also has a brew pub that is not a production facility at a different location in the Shaw neighborhood of northwest DC; it is not the site for our visit.)
