The Washington, DC beer scene is on the rise. Red Bear Brewing, with a dedication to providing a warm, welcoming, and oftentimes adventurous space is a key player in the developing community. At the heart of Red Bear is Simon Bee. While this transplant from the Pacific Northwest may appear to be a lumberjack at first sight, quite literally, his insistence on creating a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as anyone who wants to have fun and drink a good beer, sets him apart from the rest. Through Simon and his team's efforts, Red Bear has become a community partner for many organizations, helping them build relationships that strengthen the DC beer scene.
