I love this place ! People are friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. Place is big Two bars A party room Plenty of tables. Lighting is good here. Service is awesome and made plenty of suggestions for me. Seems light 10 of there own beers on tap. Just there own beers including seasonal and limited edition. Food truck is here with burgers and sure smells good. ^ to 7 dollars a pint which might be high by a dollar are so. Overall must go to place when in D. C. area. Cheers!

First stop of the evening, quick Uber ride from old town. This is a decent sized space in a warehouse building, open floor plan with a few tables, a lot of empty space, and a bar in the back. Fairly spartan decor other than the medal wall. They had 8 or 9 beers on draft as well as multiple bottles to go in coolers. Doing a decent business on a Tuesday afternoon/evening. The have flights of six for about $12, but as noted in previous reviews, its done on a ticket system. I was actually good with that, but I can see it being frustrating on really busy nights. You can also get 5 oz samples individually for 3-4$ each, which makes the flight a solid deal. I was actually fairly impressed with several of the beers I tried; the pils was solid, the Wit was excellent for style. Would surely return if I was in the area.

Small, low-ceiling tap room with fiberboard tiling - this space could just as easily be a dmv - ambience aside, a nice spot in a nice town - obviously popular with the locals - came in the afternoon the day after Christmas and it was packed - eight beers in a pretty standard line-up, but ranged well in styles (although three ipas and a pale might be overkill) - the beer is well made, with the Porter and Pils being stand out - generous flights, and they have a nice approach with them where you only get one taster at a time so you can keep track of what you’re drinking and always have beer fresh from the tap - fast, friendly service - I’d not go out of my way to visit again, but I’ll certainly grab a sixer of the Pils the next time I’m in the DC area.

You know their beer, and it’s good stuff. Nice tasting room, decent service and prices. Fairly busy when I’ve been here, reliable food truck presence on weekends.

Visited with DCLawyer, packed on a Sunday afternoon. Mostly street parking. Not sure I’d want to come here during an event but hopefully they manage the parking situation well during events. Small tasting room with two bars, small quieter area back by the restrooms with a small table or two. Friendly and efficient service. Good variety of styles with around 10 taps at each bar. Beers are above average to pretty good. No food but they had a BBQ vendor outside this time. Good value on flights of 6, only downside is the ticket system that’s essentially one taster at a time. Not much you can’t find at bars and stores, though they had a few of their Colossal anniversary beers on draft, so maybe worth it if you’re looking for those. Solid stop if you’re in the area.

Seating areas range from part of the brewery proper and a bar area. Two bars makes it a bit confusing at first to get the exact beer you want, but the tour is a great value. They give you beer tickets so there isn’t a cash exchange, but in this case you likely aren’t taking a whole flight back to your table. Parking can be a bit tough.

A simple but light filled taproom. Solid beers, without the proliferation of new beers some breweries indulge in. Good friendly service. And of course wonderful brewery sponsored bike rides. Perhaps my favorite brewery in this area. Only food is from food trucks.

Clean, modern tasting room with little seating. Went at 7:30pm on a Saturday, and it was packed with groups of people coming and going to/from tours. The ticket system gets annoying when the bar is slammed, but then there is very little room to set your beers down so one at a time is probably for the best. They had 11 beers on tap, and a flight of 6 six-ounce tasters is only $10 (and they were having a free seventh taster special). Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, with a special shout out to Justin. Nice selection of merchandise on offer. Overall a great stop. Re-rate: The one taster at a time ticket system is in fact incredibly annoying. Stupid.
