Beer Quality Beer Selection Food Service Overall
Awesome! Awesome! Good Great Great
The beer selection is astounding with new releases almost every time I go (which is getting to be quite frequently now). The Imperial Stout was excellent, full bodied with just a touch of a roasted coffee flavor. Their standard beers hold up well, including the hoppy Big Meadow Pale Ale and their light Skyland Red. And if you ever wanted to know what a chocolate donut would taste like as a beer, try the Chocolate Donut Stout. Great for breakfast! The food is decent enough but I usually just get the incredible queso dip and chips and then eat later. I think they've just added chili dogs to the menu, so we'll see how that goes next time I'm in. All in all a great little out of the way place where you can enjoy an afternoon of brewing your own beer and relaxing with a few cold ones.

Awesome! Great So So Good Great
A frequently changing selection of wonderful beers. As a brepub, it's like a very limited lunch counter, but good as far as that goes (menu is on the web site). I found the people on both sides of the counter to be friendly.

Great Great Lousy Lousy Good
To consider the plac a Brewpub is an insult to true brewpubs like Boston Beer Works, DuClaw, etc. The beer was excellent, but the food was terrible. They only serve chili which they take from the refrigerator, microwave it, and add a handful of Utz chip from a box that must have been purchased at Sam's Club. The staff was unfriendly and could use some lessons in customer service.

Awesome! Good So So Awesome! Great
The selection rating could be awesome for what is potentially available but that is not practicable or realistic. They do have very good recipes for what they brew. Everything I tasted was excellant. Bottles IPA is a little more hoppier than on tap and the Barleywine was fantastic. Nice place to spend a Friday evening to wait out traffic.

Great Awesome! N/A N/A Great
I had to rate the selection "Awesome;" what else can you say about a place that offers a sahti-based barleywine and a strawberry-flavored chicha, along with 20 other of their own beers on tap, cask, and bottle? The cask pale ale was excellent, the Stony Man Stout was good enough to take home a growler, the barleywine was, well, interesting and arresting, and the strawberry chicha was surprisingly good, light and refreshing. Some of the beers were not as good as the others, true, but some were pretty darned good. I just went to taste, not brew, but that looked like fun. And it's extremely family-friendly, which is good to see.

I used to live in Alexandria (until summer '99) and brewed here four or five times. It is a first rate BOP! Smart staff and all the toys you would ever want for brewing first class beer. A great selection of recipes for a homebrewer to try and they have a representative number of them available for sample or purchase. I'm so glad to see that they've survived and prospered. And I like the chili, too.
