Old Ox Brewery in Ashburn to Close

After 11 years in business, the brewery’s final day will be April 5.

Ashburn’s Old Ox Brewery will close early next month, the owners announced in a blog post. The brewery’s final day will be April 5.  

“Together, we’ve made wonderful friendships, supported our community, created some pretty darned cool experiences, and consumed an impressive quantity of delicious beer. Everything must end, though and this is our time,” Chris Burns, president of Old Ox Brewery, said in the post.  

The post explained that two members of the leadership team will be retiring, while two others are pursuing “some exciting opportunities outside the brewing world.”  

Though the original plan was to find a new owner to take over the brewery, a new tenant has signed a lease to take over the space at the end of April.  

“Is there a chance Old Ox will live on outside of the Ashburn space? It’s possible. We’re actively looking at solutions that would enable Old Ox to live on in a new space. But honestly, it’s too soon to tell,” Burns said in the post.  

Old Ox Brewery is a family owned and operated business that was established in 2014. It’s located at 44652 Guilford Dr., Ashburn, where it will remain open until April 5. 

Up until the closure, there are several events on the calendar, including a jazz night on March 11 and a St. Patrick’s Fiddle Fest on March 15.
