Description
We built Fair Winds Brewing Company to provide fresh, local, flavorful craft beers to our neighbors and friends in Fairfax County and throughout the Commonwealth and the District of Columbia. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all; instead we believe that craft beer, like food, should complement the moment and add to the overall experience.

Our beers are born from inspiration, crafted with devotion and served with the excitement and anticipation one experiences when sharing their craft. We welcome you to fill your sails with Fair Winds.

Draft at the brewery. Clear gold, white head. Grapefruit and some light pine notes. Drinks fairly bitter do the style. Slightly watery, but otherwise has a nice mouthfeel. Dry close. Fairly similar to the regular IPA actually. Bonus for being low ABV and keeping the flavor there.

7.4/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Draft at the brewery. Poured a clear, light amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma was sweet, some grapefruit notes, light spicy character. Flavor was similar, sweet malts, some light toasted notes. Not as much in the way of hops as I would have liked - but it was decent.
