On Doughnut Day (6/6/14), Shake Shack will have Astro Doughnuts' Crème Brûlée, Strawberry Chocolate and Maple Bacon varieties in the shacks, and guests can choose a doughnut and have it swirled into some of Shack's creamy custard. Crème Brûlée Doughnut with vanilla custard and caramel sauce has been my favorite combo so far. 

Saturday, June 7, 2014: MASH EDU: Homebrewer Edition
What and Who: Most brewers get their start with a humble homebrew they concocted in a small kitchen or garage. Hobbyists across the globe have been pushing the boundaries on the methodology and science of what it means to brew a beer. In every city the Mash stops in, we are partnering with the home brew shops and collectives that are doing their best to spread the good word of beer. We'll be having seminars and walkthroughs by experienced professional amateurs on all the trials and tribulations of home-brewing. 
Where: 3 Stars Brewing Company, 6400 Chillum Place NW, Washington, D.C.
When: Starts at 2:00 PM (Tickets: TBA)
