The Chr. Heurich Brewing Co. Senate Beer—a classic corn lager—brand was popularized in the 1890’s, survived Prohibition, and was produced until 1956.

Right Proper’s Senate Beer revival was developed by analyzing a 20-page laboratory report on Senate Beer from 1948 to recreate the historic DC hometown favorite.

Pint at the Shaw location pours a clear, dark gold with a cap of white head. Nose has grains, some corn, yeasty dough. Flavor is crisp with malt and some lemon and a little metal. Dry finish. Easy drinker. Well made.

Can. Cool can art - really captured the era from where it originated. Aroma was sweet crispness, corn. I think I was hoping for something a bit more like DC Brau Heurich's Lager, which had a nice, corny, creamy consistency. This was just a bit too industrial. Maybe they nailed it, but it really needed something else to really make it pop. Still pretty nice, and a good beer to have on deck for those who aren't as into craft.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours bright gold. Biscuit, corn, estery, lemon. Fine.

Alright for what it is. Some crispness. Easy enough drinking. Still kind of a let down like the Ottawa hockey team. Golden pour with decent head. No cloying flavours - it's clean at least. Tap at Brookland brewery.
