Commonly Asked Questions

Can I drink at your establishment

Of course you can! While people may know us more for our Brew on Premise, we have a large taproom with an ever increasing and rotating set of taps. Enjoy from a selection of 20 beers on our self-service tap wall where you pay by the ounce or drink flights or pints from our more traditional bar with 14 taps available. 

Do you serve food?

While we don't have a kitchen, we often have food trucks or caterers at the brewery. There are also a large number of restaurants that deliver. And if you want to bring a picnic basket, feel free! If you're planning an event or party and would like us to help arrange food, let us know and we can do that as well. 

Can i bring my dogs to the brewery?

Pets are allow in the Back and Patio areas only.

Unfortunately we do not allow pets in the brewery and main tasting room in order to maintain our license and comply with Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) regulations. The only exception will be with service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do NOT qualify as service animals under the ADA.

​On rare occasion if we have a special event and allow dogs in the tasting room it will require us to shut down all manufacturing (our own and the BOP).

What is your policy for Pool, Shuffleboard and Games?
