7 Best Craft Breweries near Lake Ridge

Water's End Brewery in Lake Ridge Brewery • $$
12425 Dillingham Square, Lake Ridge

“Giving this place a provisional 4 stars with a commitment to go back. We’ve lived a mile from this place for over a year and visited for the first time tonight, which is ironic because the first time we decided to go the places was packed. There were tents outside for food vendors and a band was setting up outside. It appeared that we stumbled into some kind of event. One thing I noticed is that a lot of people were wearing the store’s merch, and the brewery definitely promotes its brew club which offers discounts on pints, etc. Have to say that everything we had was very drinkable and nothing we drank was particularly “gimmicky”, I.e. the kind of beer that you only want one of. The place seemed very family and pet friendly, and signs posted explained that they’re open to having outside food brought in. Conveniently there are decent restaurants in the adjacent shopping center, so we had susihi from Sushi Bae along with our beers. All in all, a great first experience and we’ll be back. Looking forward to seeing what the place is like when it’s not madhouse. That said, the staff did a great job of keeping the long time moving. Well done W.E.!“

“Great foods presented professionally Hells Kitchen style, with a great view of the kitchen in operation. Very professional, well-led server staff that knows how important timing is. Excellent food that has been properly prepared and presented. The dessert was a fantastic take on Caramel Crème Brûlée, most especially well presented in layer style. I am absent of our servers name but we were located to the right as you walk in, almost all the way to the end. Just a great example of how servers can make a meal much more appetizing with impeccable timing. An overall excellent outing. Highly recommend.“

Bunnyman Brewing Brewery • $$
5583 Guinea Rd, Fairfax - 7.68 miles

“Checked them out for the first time on St. Patty's Day. It was very busy. They have a very nice space with lots of seating indoors and out and they had 2 food trucks which was nice. Their beer and sodas are self serve which was new to me but made it easy to try all the different types without having too much of any one. Very enjoyable experience!However, for craft beer lovers, their beer wasn't as full of body or flavor as you'd expect.“

Water's End Brewery at Potomac Mills Brewery • $
14397 Potomac Mills Rd, Woodbridge - 3.57 miles

“A great spot to stop in for a beer. Maybe you are waiting on a seat at the steak house or maybe you just finished shopping, there is always a cold beer available. They do flights, so do not worry about not knowing what you want. Just try it all! I like the Damn Beer because it is light and easy, and because it’s fun to say “Give me a Damn Beer!”. I hope you enjoy the place!“

“This place has a great atmosphere. Very dog friendly!! That makes me happy. Sucks they dont serve food, as strong as the beer is they really should serve something. There is a food truck outside but ?‍♀️ The employees were friendly and did recommend a great beer but dont try to start conversations with them. I know if you want convo call someone who cares but man come on give me 5 seconds after i just spent $35 ? Ill definitely be back next time i deliver to this area!!“

8532 Terminal Road Suites L,M,N, Lorton - 6.07 miles

“When I first heard about this place, I didn't know what to expect. When I walked in, I was met with a great atmosphere and a welcoming/knowledgeable staff. They have a wide range of beers, a Mug Club that allows you to get beers at a cheaper price, great merchandise, and trivia on Thursdays! I'll definitely make it a point to try to come here more often.“

Brew Republic Bierwerks Brewery • $$
15201 Potomac Town Pl Suite 120, Woodbridge - 4.22 miles

“First, it’s more than just beer. Both Barachel (our server) and Dyonn (bartender) were great. I don’t always get a friendly vibe in NOVA. Love these too. Attentive, great recommendations and good taste in beer.I got a flight of 8 and let Barachel pick. Good stuff. All had different characteristics and their own personalities. If I lived in the nearby apartments, I’d get the $99 club and be there every night.Food was a very good portion and tasty. Ughhhhh tots were soooo good and thanks for recommending the jalapeño poppers. Wish you had the fried pickles. Next time.If you’re going to Wegman’s or shopping nearby, stop and get some great food, beer and hospitality. Tell them the Boring Old Guy sent you.“
