Touring Northern Virginia’s myriad breweries has never been more fun. Take a planned trip or go rogue with these popular expeditions.

LoCo Ale Trail
Explore the beer scene in Loudoun. Whether you want to tour the breweries out west or prefer urban amenities to the east, you have 17 options. You can keep the calories to a minimum by hopping on your bike and exploring the series of breweries that await you along the trail. You can also create your own brewery tour.

Reston Limousine Brew Tour
Reston Limousine provides public brewery tours throughout D.C. and NoVA. Featuring 37 different brewery visits, the tours include emerging breweries and more well-known venues to create an exciting experience for beer experts and greenhorns alike.

Historic Alexandria Pub Crawl
If you prefer to keep it old school, head to Old Town Alexandria where the historic pub crawl features over 200 restaurants and pubs, all within a 15-block radius. It can be a learning experience too: While sipping on brews hear tales of historic scandals, parties and more.
