Alan May is joining fellow NBC Sports Washington analyst Craig Laughlin in the beer business.
May, through Solace Brewing Company, recently released an IPA entitled May-Zy 16 (6.2% ABV). The beer is available at all three of Solace Brewing Company’s three locations in Sterling, VA; Falls Church, VA; and the Navy Yard in DC.
The beer is also being distributed at select liquor stores across the DMV in both can and draft form.
Have you always wanted to drink from the Stanley Cup but aren’t an NHL player, grizzled coach, analytics nerd, or billion-dollar owner from a championship team? Molson Canadian is trying to bring hockey fans closer to that experience by creating a limited-edition six-pack of beer entitled The Stanley Cup Batch.
According to Molson Canadian, the beer was passed through the top bowl of the Stanley Cup during the brewing process before being bottled and put into cases. The brewing followed “strict sanitization protocols.”
“What if you could drink from the #StanleyCup…would you do it?” Philip Pritchard, the Keeper of the Cup, wrote on Twitter. “Well, now’s the chance! With the @Molson_Canadian Stanley Cup Batch, [hockey fans] can feel one step closer to their dream. Yours for the taking!”

Michal Kempny posted a Very Important photo on his Instagram, Saturday.
The lack of context, in my opinion, only aids in its incredibleness.
Dead Rise, the wildly popular Maryland-style beer crafted by Frederick’s Flying Dog Brewery and brewed with Old Bay seasoning, is back for its fifth year in a limited release. And you guys, it’s even better and more Maryland-y than before.
Originally created as a blonde ale, Flying Dog Brewery gave Dead Rise a new look, a new recipe, and even MOAR Old Bay to celebrate its fifth anniversary.
The Washington Nationals announced a new beer to celebrate their World Series championship last fall.
The beer is called Curly W. It’s an India pale ale with six percent ABV.
The Washington Nationals really got wild by the end of the Caps-Flames game. Several of the team’s stars, such as Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, Adam Eaton, and Sean Doolittle, got shirtless during a second intermission Zamboni ride.
The shirts came off again during the third period after the Capitals and PA announcer Wes Johnson unleashed the fury.
As it ended, Yan Gomes and Brian Dozier began pouring beers into the mouths of Capitals fans below.

The Washington Capitals and Virginia-based brewery Devil’s Backbone have teamed up to create their own Caps-themed beer: the Capit-Ale India Pale Ale.
Beginning in September, with the start of the Capitals preseason, the beer will be available to purchase at Capital One Arena in 16 oz. cans. The beer will also be available on draft at “select retail locations” in Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. According to the packaging, the IPA has favor notes of “citrus, melon and… winning.”

The Washington Capitals’ euphoric Stanley Cup championship victory in June inspired hundreds of thousands of local fans to gather at the National Mall for the team’s parade. Since then, there have been Stanley Cup bobbleheads, wine, buckets, pig races, and corn mazes made in tribute.
The latest salute comes in beer form.
In collaboration with local beer shop Downtown Crown, DuClaw Brewing Co., located in Baltimore, MD, is releasing a new pilsner entitled Cup Stand. Featuring a silhouetted Alex Ovechkin doing a Cup Stand on top of the Stanley Cup, the logo utilizes navy blue and white stars from the Capitals’ third jerseys.
The beer will be sold exclusively in cans and on draft at Downtown Crown Wine and Beer in Gaithersburg and Georgetown Square Wine and Beer in Bethesda starting Thursday, December 13.
On Sunday, the Capitals hosted their annual Casino Night at the MGM National Harbor, raising a lot of money for charity. The Stanley Cup was there as a surprise guest, but so were a wide variety of beers.
While the Capitals do a lot of things together as a team (such as opening their championship ring boxes together), each player has a unique personality of their own. And their beer (or wine) choice gives us even more insight.
I documented what most players drank. Some of the players drink things you would expect (Ovi, Bud Light). Others, like Braden Holtby, choose their beers like they choose their wardrobe: exacting.

TJ Oshie’s legend status is officially confirmed.
During his illustrious athletic career, Oshie has beaten the Russians in an Olympic shootout, won a Stanley Cup with the Capitals, and drank a beer through his jersey during a championship parade. Now he’s managed to do the impossible: make golf cool.
Oshie did so with a Happy Gilmore-esque edition to his putting wardrobe. While going for par on the 17th hole of the American Century Championship, Oshie wore a beer-guzzling helmet.
