- Description of Pictures: Food & Beer in Historic DC
Garrett Peck is a literary journalist, local Washington-area historian and author of five books: "The Prohibition Hangover: Alcohol in America from Demon Rum to Cult Cabernet" (2009); "Prohibition in Washington, D.C.: How Dry We Weren’t" (2011); "The Potomac River: A History and Guide" (2012) and its sequel, "The Smithsonian Castle and The Seneca Quarry" (2013). His latest is "Capital Beer: A Heady History of Brewing in Washington, D.C." (The History Press). Peck leads tours of Seneca quarry, the Jazz History Tour and also the Temperance Tour of Prohibition-related sites in the nation’s capital. He was involved with the DC Craft Bartenders Guild in lobbying the DC City Council to have the Rickey declared Washington’s native cocktail in 2011. He is particularly proud that Green Hat Gin (introduced in 2012 by New Columbia Distillers) is named after a character that Peck wrote about in "Prohibition in Washington, D.C.": congressional bootlegger George Cassiday. This is Peck’s fourth time presenting at the Gaithersburg Book Festival, including the inaugural year in 2010. A native Californian and VMI graduate, he lives in Arlington, Va.
John DeFerrari is the author of two books, "Historic Restaurants of Washington, D.C.: Capital Eats" (The History Press) and "Lost Washington, D.C." John was born and raised in Washington, D.C. and has a lifelong passion for local history. In addition to penning the popular Streets of Washington blog, he is also a trustee of the D.C. Preservation League and in that role actively works to preserve the historic built environment of the District of Columbia. He has an M.A. in English Literature from Harvard University and has worked for many years as a federal government analyst.

- Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
