18 Best Craft Breweries near Ashburn

“Great local microbrewery in Northern Virginia. Always a good mix of beers on tap and great staff too. I like that it’s not a huge brewery / restaurant like some other places, just beer, a few tv’s, back patio and relaxing environment. Also very dog friendly. We usually come w our two pups and grab a beer or two each week. On Sundays there’s also a discount if you bring a dog, and there’s a very fun trivia night on Wednesdays. It’s so fun / popular that if you don’t arrive early you may not find a table. Just a great local place to have in the community.“

“This place is the BEST. I've loved their beer for awhile (I often order it on restaurant menus) but we didn't visit here for the first time until a few months ago. SINCE then, I'm pretty sure we have popped in 5-7 times in about the span of 2 months. This is pretty crazy considering I live over an hour away, sometimes closer to 2 hours with traffic. Did I mention, I will travel for great beer? ;) We had rolled by the parking lot several times, prior to visiting, but never stopped in because it always LOOKED too crowded from the outside. I'm not a fan of not having a place to set your drink down. However, the place inside has more than enough space to spread out with room for everyone. It can get really crowded on the Friday Night / Saturday though, and can get a little rambunctious when lots of the "younger" guests start running around with no supervision. To avoid this, we often visit on a weekday in the afternoon/evening. Not only is the beer incredible, but the game room is our 2nd favorite part. ;) The wide selection of pinball machines changes from time to time, and there's even a pinball league. The games are not overly expensive to play - we bring our own quarters along because we like to play a lot of rounds on the various machines. There is a change machine right in the game room if you forget to bring your own quarters. :) We met the owner/servicer of the machines last weekend. I struck up a conversation with him and he was so gracious and kind. He answered a bunch of my questions and even walked us through a round of multiplayer pinball on his newest machine, Cactus Canyon! :) Needless to say, we are even more hooked then we were before, LOL! We didn't order food this time, but we have tried the nachos in the past and they were amazing. I can't wait to try some more of their delicious options such as the pretzel. They often do special menus for weekend events - we are hoping to catch some of these in the future. Our favorite beers to enjoy in the taproom are Final Glide, Hit the Lip, Meridian Kolsch, and Face Plant - depending on our mood. I usually head for the new release first - and they release new beers often, theres always something new to try. :) I love the chalk art menu board they have at the bar. The bartenders are super nice, friendly, and knowledgable. You can ask for a little sample if you are not sure which one you like. In sum, RUN, do not walk, as soon as you can to Lost Rhino! :) I know we will be back again and again.“

“This place is the best. I have been coming here for years. Not only do they have a killer IP selection of beers,but they also have cider, root beer and other drinks as well. The food is not bad and there is a large following here. Certain nights of the week there are certain events like bring you own vinyl night. They have lots of outdoor seating. Cornhole, pinball machines and even live musicians some nights. The staff is always friendly and full of advice if your looking for something new or just want a small taste to see if you like it. What a great place. Come on up for a brew and maybe I'll see you there. Cheers!“

“Fun place with a stage for music or other entertainment, pool tables and table shuffle board. Choose from a number of drink choices using a card which measures exact pours. Would love a sangria added to the choices. Great staff and friendly patrons.“

“Great little hidden hangout in the land of Ashburn's finest office buildings and data centers. It's a perfect spot for grabbing an adult soda pop after a long day of work. I highly recommend the rye porter for those who like dark beers because it is incredibly tasty.“

“As a Seattleite/Pacific Northwesterner & overall connoisseur of craft brewing, I’m proud to say that Juicy Brewing has become my favorite brewery! That speaks volumes since breweries such as Great Notion, Cascade Barrel House, Holy Mountain and many more top notch breweries are in my neighborhood. Whoever’s in charge here has some skills! Last week I was fortunate to visit Juicy again and was tickled to time it just right with the ANCHOVY variant drop of their AE OPAQUE!!! Juicy’s OPAQUE series are top tier hazy’s and each variant is unique and perfectly prepared. Along with their hazy offerings, the sours are out of this world! Quaint, cozy and cool is how I’d describe Juicy Brewing. Although I love their quirky glassware, I feel I’m being shorted a bit and would love other glassware/ pour options. Here in the PNW we drink hazy’s in full pint glasses and I’d love to see that or other options offered. That said; they don’t run a tab, so remember what you had! When you’re done it’s up to you to remember what you had…so be honest! Jaja. Never experienced that before. If you’re into Craft beer, especially hazy IPAs, double hazy IPAs and sours, you’ll love the vibe in this little nano knock out! **If you’re inclined, hit up Enatye Ethiopian Restaurant right around the corner for a truly magical and harmonious evening. CHEERS!“

“Great food and wonderful service“

“Nice local brewery with outdoor seating both in front and behind the building. If it's crowded, they also have plenty of indoor seats. The beer selection is well rounded -- at least one each of a Pilsner, Stout, IPA, and Seltzer. I didn't notice a Lager, but you can check their beer listing online. Overall, I think it's worth going to to hang out for a while.“

“This was a small little house downtown. Not too big inside maybe 3-4 tables in front room with an outdoor seating area and another small adjacent room. Bartender was super informative and helped guide us through the selections. Several nice IPA's but One IPA was really good. Mosaic Vision, excellent! My favorite stop so far.“

“Always a good time at Ocelot. If you've not been in a while, stop in again to check their selection out!Their beer selection is constantly changing, with lots of seasonal releases or new takes on styles. From English styles, to super hoppy IPAs, or crisp clean lagers, there's going to be something on draft you'll like.Pinball in the back room is awesome, and they've got a variety of food trucks during certain days.“

“Very cool atmosphere and good people, we finished our Halloween beer crawl here for some live music and good food. We will definitely be back!“

“Stellar service, fabulous music by Lost Locals, and awesome beer! Save water and drink beer! See video clip of the music on Twitter at #BlackWalnutBrewery.“

“Been many times but I’ve finally decided, I love this place. The bevs are delicious & so is the food. I’ve always received great & friendly service (Scotty is so nice, knowledgeable, gives great recommendations, & points us in the right direction). I’ll be back!“

“Good wine and beer. Was very crowded and lines took 25 mins. Wine slushy and pizza line was particularly bad. We avoided some of the lines by sending someone to the adults only side to buy some bottles of wine. That was quick, but there was no way to work around the 20 min beer line. Pizza is Chicago style. They don’t serve any kid drinks, so be sure to pack what you need for kids.“

“First time in while I was in town for my son’s competition. Happened to see two dudes playing a banjo and a guitar outside and decided to pop in for a beer. And boy was that the right decision. Had a couple of beers out front in the Adirondack chairs the pale and the IPA were delicious but most importantly Alex, behind the bar was the epitome of hospitality. highly recommend if you’re ever in Leesburg for the good vibes, the excellent service the great beer.“

“I live very near here and visit frequently. The bar is excellent, whether you're looking for a good craft beer from the in-house brewery or a phenomenal cocktail.They always have at least 2 food vendors open (Mon/Tues), and the rest of the week they have 4 food vendors available to choose from, and they're all pretty great. I think my current favorite thing is the panini from Pauleen's, but it's wonderful to have a variety to choose from.“

“We came in for a lunch after riding on the WO&D trail. They were easily accessible from the trail/parking. There are a ton of spots to put your bike inbetween the two buildings (Aslin & their food side). Mid-day there were plenty of open tables both inside and outside. There were 4 dogs visiting, so they are definitely dog friendly. The beer was great (we ordered the IPAs) and food was also good. We had the pizza and fry-chos. They do offer high chairs if you are dining with younger children. They also had an arcade area that some older children were enjoying while waiting for their food.“

“Love Solace. Best brewery around. They've made it and I am happy for them. Any company where the beer is sold as a staple in the grocery stores or in other restaurants, you know it is good. Solace has done that. For the brewery itself, it is awesome. Lots of good beer, good place to go. Pretty big place, can bring you dog with no problem. Usually they have a good truck, so you can get a bite if you want.“
