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.

Sampled at Black Squirrel, pours a hazy yellow with some cloudy white head. Nose is what you’d expect, lightly yeast, some candy, flower pollen, some dried herbs. Flavor has more of the promised hop, some citrus rind, grass, yeast, light grist. Oily finish.
