History

Right Proper started as a neighborhood brewpub, based on a vision that centered around DC as a hometown, with each neighborhood defined by a different culture and not one that relied solely on museums and monuments. The vision belonged to Thor Cheston, a DC native who left medical school at Georgetown University to follow a passion. The beers would be defined by the yeasts used to ferment them as opposed to the hops that bittered them, and the bar would be a gathering place for the community. Right Proper Brewing is owned and operated by DC residents Leah and Thor Cheston. The company has two, soon to be three, locations in the District of Columbia, and its beer can be found in DC, Maryland, Virginia and Delaware.
