Brewery Profile

Right Proper Brewing Company

In a city where neighborhood identity matters, Right Proper Brewing Company presents itself as a DC brewery with several public entry points rather than a single tasting room. Visitors can find the company through its Shaw brewpub, which includes a kitchen, or through its Brookland production brewery and taproom. The setup gives the brewery a practical role in the city’s beer scene: it is a place for a pint, a meal, a local event, or a larger gathering, depending on which venue a visitor chooses. Owned by local residents Leah and Thor Cheston, Right Proper also frames its work around service to the DC community, with spaces used for private and neighborhood celebrations as well as regular onsite drinking.

Travelers spending time in Washington, DC often look for breweries that connect a specific neighborhood with fresh beer and an easy stop between museums, restaurants, music, or residential parts of the city. Right Proper fits that kind of visit because it offers both established and newer beers without requiring a trip outside the District. Its range includes Raised by Wolves, the flagship American pale ale, and Big Tomorrow IPA, a newer release. Those beers give visitors a clear starting point if they want to understand the brewery’s lineup, while the taproom or brewpub can show what else is currently being poured. The brewery’s presence at local restaurants and retailers also means some visitors may encounter its beer elsewhere in DC before choosing to visit one of its own spaces.

For planning, the main distinction is between the Shaw brewpub with kitchen and the Brookland production brewery and taproom. A pilot brewery is also scheduled to open in Eckington in 2026, which would add another neighborhood stop to the brewery’s footprint. Menus, pours, private-event availability, and neighborhood programming can vary by venue, so the taproom or the brewery’s current listings are the best places to confirm the day’s options before going. Visitors who want food with their beer should focus first on the Shaw brewpub, while those interested in the production side and taproom setting should look to Brookland. For people staying elsewhere in the city, Right Proper’s beers may also be found at local restaurants and retailers.
