||
 9776 Center St., Manassas |
Opening JUNe NEW BEERS, A YEAST ROOM AND A BIGGER LOCATION: BIG BADWOLF With more space, there’s room for jacketed fermenters—tanks with cooling systems—keeping temperatures low, an environment needed to brew lagers and lager-styles (pilsner). Additionally, there will be a dedicated yeast lab for cultivating strains for experimental beers. |
 8420 Kao Circle, Manassas |

EXPECTED IN JULY OYSTERS AND HUSH PUPPIES Centreville’s Chasin’ Tails adds chargrilled oysters topped with a garlicky cheese blend and housemade sweet potato hush puppies to the menu in a space almost 3,000 square feet larger than the original, including a bigger patio and bar. |
