The Virginia Beer Company

Temporary COVID-19 Update

Our focus is and will always be on the safety of our staff and guests, so we do need to announce some rules and best practices for those joining us for a round. Many of these are recommended by the Virginia Craft Brewers Guild while others are particular to our specific layout. The full list of rules can be found here and a rundown is available below.

-----

- Hours: Monday - Thursday, 3-9 pm / Friday - Saturday, 12-9:30 pm / Sunday, 12-9 pm

- Guests: We welcome all, but children must remain with their parents at all times to maintain proper social distancing.

- Dogs: Leashed, people-friendly pups are welcome in our beer garden…but due to ongoing renovations we can’t yet welcome our furry friends into the taproom.

- Groups: Per state mandate, no groups over 10 are allowed. We ask that any groups give us a heads up in advance of arrival so we can do our best to accommodate all, and that everyone be cognizant of social distancing.

- Tables: All placed six feet apart — no moving tables, plesae!

- Ordering for Here: Ordering will again be done at the bar; you must have a mask on to order. Full pours, 4 oz. samples, and flights of 4 oz. samples are available.

- On-Premise Cutoff: Per state mandate, all beers must be finished and all cups emptied by 10 pm. No exceptions!

- Ordering To-Go: Nothing changes, same online and in-person set-up.

- Ordering/Sitting Inside: If you plan to enter the taproom you must wear a mask when entering & ordering & moving throughout the space, including to and from your table, per state mandate (no mask is required at your table).

- Staff PPE: All staff will be wearing face masks and gloves at all times, and again we ask that if you do decide to join us for a beer that you wear a face covering as well (except when actually drinking your beer).

- Guest PPE: We ask that if you do decide to join us for a beer for here or to-go that you wear a face covering as well (except when actually drinking your beer). All guests over the age of 5 must be wearing a face covering when moving about the brewery (per state mandate).

- Food Trucks: Will continue to vend as scheduled, and you can enjoy plates with your pints (the monthly food truck lineup can be found here).

- Restrooms: Public Restrooms will be available for guest use, and deep cleaned at regular intervals.

- Weather: We still can't offer much in the way of rain plans outside of table umbrellas and pop-up tents (on busy days we're not able to house everyone in the taproom due to Phase 3 restrictions), so watch the weather accordingly. Our three fire pits will be roaring throughout the winter!

- Fills: We are once again offering fills on used Growlers, and will continue to offer Half Price Fills on Crowlers and Growlers every Wednesday & Sunday. We reserve the right to not fill used Growlers that are dirty or damaged.

- Full-Time Friends Social Club Benefits: All to-go discounts continue to apply; for on-premise consumption, if we must use plastic cups and can't upsize pours we will provide a non-upsize discount on every beer poured. At this time, we are pouring in glassware so upsized pours are available!

-----

If we all take the time to consider the above and remember to be excellent to each other -- we know that we can work together to offer a welcome taste of normalcy. And more importantly, we can better do our part to welcome you back for some much needed beers & cheers!

All of this information can be found in greater details at this link. Thank you for your understanding as we prioritize the common health of the Commonwealth!

Overview

BEER · PEOPLE · PURPOSE

The Virginia Beer Company is a brewery + taproom + beer garden in Williamsburg, VA. The brewery was founded in 2016 by two graduates of nearby William & Mary, who were joined by a brewmaster out of SweetWater Brewing in Atlanta. Four year-round beers are complemented by a boundary-pushing rotation of limited edition beers including Experimental IPA's, Barrel-Fermented Brett Saisons, and Barrel-Aged Imperial Stouts, among many other diverse styles.

The great variety of recipes available at the Virginia Beer Co. taproom and throughout Virginia, New York, the UK, Europe, and Japan are made possible by a unique production model: a brewery built within a brewery. The large-scale, 30-bbl production brewing system is fully integrated with a custom built, 5-bbl pilot system that allows creativity and experimentation on a regular basis.

In addition to brewing quality beer, the Virginia Beer Co. team is dedicated to environmental sustainability and active philanthropy throughout the Commonwealth. We joined forces not just to share a passion for beer, but to create a community-based and philanthropy-focused force for good in the form of a brewery.

Beyond an ever-changing array of small batch beers, the brewery features rotating food trucks along with daily specials, live music, pop-up entertainment, and other events.

Cheers From Williamsburg, Virginia!
