The Best Craft Beer: Virginia Beach Breweries
Ever since Virginia made it legal for taprooms to sell full glasses of beer even if they are not a full-service restaurant, breweries are popping up all over the state, and coastal Virginia has its fair share. Let's look at who's pouring the best brews.
Commonwealth Brewing Company
This family-owned brewery is housed in the former Chesapeake Beach Fire & Rescue Station #4 just a few blocks away from the Chesapeake Bay beaches.
Their taproom was designed to look like a European beer hall. There is also an outdoor beer garden with games and a rotating schedule of food trucks. Bring along your four-legged friends because they're welcome too!
Young Veterans Brewing Company
With two military bases in town, it's not surprising that two veterans founded and opened a brewery dedicated to military history. Each beer label is designed to look like a WWII propaganda poster. The taproom walls are lined with similar artwork as well.
They offer a discount to all veterans and active military.
Smartmouth Brewing Company
Three blocks from the Virginia Beach oceanfront, you'll find this brewery in a former post office. This location hosts live music, food trucks, trivia night, and private events.
Be sure to take the brewery tour to get an up-close look at the brewing process.
Back Bay Brewing Company
Walking distance from the beach, the Back Bay Brewing Company is a beach-style brewery. They promote local Virginia Beach artists by featuring their artwork in the tasting room.
They host beer brewing classes throughout the year if you're inclined to learn a new skill. Check out their live music guests on Saturday nights.
Wasserhund Brewing Company
This microbrewery in Virginia Beach has a German name that means "water dog." The founders love the beach, dogs, and German beer and wanted to bring German beer to this coastal town.
They are brewing the highest quality ales and lagers and serving authentic German dishes. They often host fundraisers, bingo nights, brunch and other events. And of course, it's dog-friendly!
