Award-winning craft brewery with diverse beers, tours, & events
"Alexandria is the place to savor Port City’s lineup of well-made, straightforward beers. After more than a decade in business, the easy-drinking Optimal Wit remains a best seller. Other favorites include the hoppy, fruity Integral IPA and the malty Port City Porter. Its events calendar is frequently filled with yoga, comedy, and pup adoption events. The tasting room is open daily, with tacos and tostados from Alexandria’s own La Tingeria." - Tierney Plumb
"Included as a notable Virginia-based brewery that contributes to the region’s beer reputation." - Eater Staff
"A local brewery that sets up a pop-up beer garden during the Holiday Boat Parade of Lights (evening of Dec. 7 at 5:30 p.m.), providing festive beer service and a convenient viewing spot alongside food vendors for spectators watching illuminated boats on the Potomac." - Madeline Weinfield
"The Alexandria brewery commemorates Oktoberfest on Saturday, September 23 (noon to 6 p.m.) with a large outdoor celebration filled with German-style beers, live music, German food, and games. And it’s all about Fido on Saturday, October 7 for Dogtoberfest, a free festival starting at noon to honor furry friends with pet portraits, nail trimming, and pet-related vendors and organizations." - Tierney Plumb
"There are picnic tables and umbrellas outside at this long-running Alexandria brewery, known for beers like Optimal Wit and Beach Drive golden ale. For a bite to eat, consider ordering barbecue from nearby Rocklands." - Adele Chapin
