It will be available at Atlas Brew’s Ivy City tap room starting April 26.

Atlas Brew describes Hop Bot as “generously hopped with funky Citra and juicy Mosaic hops.”

The seventh annual Awesome Con at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center runs from April 26 to April 28.

“This convention has always been about the local fans of all kinds of pop culture. It seemed appropriate as we keep growing to partner with an outstanding brand like Atlas to bring some local flavor to the fans,” said Ron Brister, vice president of events at LeftField Media, the company producing Awesome Con.

Awesome Con drew 71,000 attendees last year.
