About
Our love of craft beer is huge, as is our love of Lake Anne and Reston, which ultimately lead us to this mission: To create a community-focused taproom, brewing small-batch, hand-crafted beer, and to serve it up lakeside on our amazing deck and patio overlooking beautiful Lake Anne.

Brews with views… what more could you ask for?

Our community-focused brewery will embrace the ‘Live-Work-Play’ philosophy that Robert E. Simon built this place to be, and we will strive to uphold his ideals in all that we do as a business. We built this business for all of you, for our community, and for the greater community of craft beer drinkers.

Tap. Pours a bit of a murky arnold palmer, small off white head, good lacing. Aroma is a bit of merlin, hints of aspirin, smartees, oranges. Flavor is light plus sweet, minimal bitterness. Merlin body. Not bad; bit sickly.

Tap. Pours lightly hazy golden yellow, merlin white head, great lacing. Aroma is hardwood smoke, hints of banana and clove. Flavor is light plus sweet, minimally butter, light smoke. Light body. Apparently they have figured this one out in the last four years. Not great, but certainly not tragic.

Draft at the Fairfax County Brewfest. Poured a very slightly hazy, light orange color with a tinge of red in there. Aroma was subtle, very light berry. Flavor popped a lot more - lots of raspberry, with some saison funk. Tasty.
