“The staff at this bar was incredibly helpful and guided me in selecting the perfect beverage based on my preferences. The drink was smooth and had a delightful finish. The bar is dog-friendly and spotless, creating a welcoming and tranquil atmosphere. As a northern Virginian, I felt right at home. If you’re seeking a relaxing spot to enjoy a great beverage, this place is the ideal choice.“

“Such a fun & inviting place!“

“I went to Aslin Brewery on a Wednesday afternoon because I had been wanting to try it for a while it did not disappoint! I was given several samples of their beers, which were really good. I had a $12 lunch special pizza with two toppings. I took some beer to go. I definitely will be back here and I was really impressed with the service and the food.“

“It was very dog friendly and I got to eat pizza crusts!“

“Loved everything about this brewery.

Great vibes, cool wall art, very friendly staff and customers. Gave good advice on beer selection. Provided lots of tasters.

Very comfortable seating and good selection of board games. Could have stayed all day.

Enjoyed a flight of sours and IPAs. Excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Wide selection of beers, some hit or miss, but sometimes they do a lesser popular style with an amazing flare (Snatch you bald headed variants). Usually quiet (except on music bingo night lol) it’s a very home to the regulars place. Great service, good prices, and always a food truck worth trying out back.“

“Great folks, great beer, and a nice mix of dog-friendly indoor and outdoor spaces. Well done, Reaver“

“Never had a bad experience at any of the locations I've been to. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, fun drinks and good food. If you're a ranch enjoyer you're gonna have a great time. Definitely some sort of addictive substance in that stuff.“

“Great times to be had at this fine establishment.“

“First time going today... it was for a work celebration. I felt that the venue was perfect. There were several other events happening around and it was spacious enough to not feel overwhelmed. I would most definitely consider reserving for a future event. I would also recommend this place to others.“

“Want to thank Common Wealth for having a super amazing barista, Brooke. Im always sad at the last sip of my coffee. (You guys have great beer too!!) Until my next coffee visit!!!“

“Me and my family had the BEST experience while dining here last night. Some of the best brew and food in VA beach hands down. Trudy was a gem and the other wait staff was so patient with our crazy crew. Thanks for being apart of such an special memory ❤️“

“Well folks I tend to believe that if you don't have something nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all.....and that is because the light has not fully left my eyes yet.

However, I do got something nice to say, and so on this lovely day in May I'd like to share my thoughts and feelings.

This one's for Victoria. From me and my friend Scrub Mommy.

HERE WE GO:

Victoria is not just a beertender; she is a carbonation whisperer, a hop sommelier, and quite possibly the reason morale remains dangerously high at this establishment.
From the moment she steps behind the bar, beers pour smoother, smiles appear faster, and the taps themselves seem honored to be in her presence. Unsure what to order? Victoria will ask you three questions, read your soul, and deliver a pint so perfectly matched to your personality that you’ll briefly question whether she has psychic abilities (or at least a minor superpower granted by the Beer Gods).
She balances speed, kindness, and elite-level beer knowledge with the grace of someone who has never once spilled a drop—and if she has, the beer probably deserved it. Customers leave happier than when they arrived, coworkers feel supported and hydrated emotionally, and the vibes are consistently immaculate.
In short:
If Victoria is working, the beer tastes better.
If Victoria is not working, people ask where she is.
Promote her, clone her, or at the very least protect her at all costs. 🍻“
