Colonial Beach Brewing

Stoped here while in town for a getaway with my wife. Staff was friendly and beer was fine. In a small town without a ton going on, this was a worthwhile stop. That said, not sure I'd make a special trip just for this. If you are in the area, give it a shot and try for yourself.

Colonial Beach Brewery is serving up a variety of really good crafted beers and now some good food. We split the Mediterranean Vegetable Flatbread. It was generously topped with vegetables, feta cheese and Greek olives. Loved it! We'll be back to try more of this new Mediterranean menu.

Their outdoor area is great for relaxing with a couple beers. A small but varied assortment, so there's something for everybody. They also had some small food dishes to snack on, but we didn't try any on this visit. A nice little neighborhood hangout.

Neat little stop in when walking through town. Very friendly staff. Beers were tasty. Serve coffee as well. Very relaxing plus they have outside seating.

This was a highlight of our long weekend at Colonial Beach. We rented a house nearby for the weekend and scoped out the area for things to do since it was a rainy and cloudy Memorial Day weekend. We showed up in the late afternoon and the place was packed. After getting our beer, which were all really good, we settled into the Annex to listen to music. I appreciate that they had entertainment but kept it at a reasonable volume so we could still carry on a conversation. We had 7 beers between 4 people and our tab was about $63. Seems high to me but I'm sure there are taxes and other fees. While it was pricey, I am happy to pay it to enjoy the entertainment and the great company of my friends.

Pretty basic operation. I lucked out with being in the area just as they opened at 2pm on a Friday. Many outdoor seats, shade umbrellas, ordering window with a cute bell, hand sanitizer was provided. The bathroom was very clean, modern and spacious. The beer i tried was not bad.

Place is a bit goofy. It is now 419pm and there is no one here. It is Weds and the front door of the place has a schedule saying they are open at 4pm. They are not open. Seems like they do not need any customers. Another couple is here and they are as confused as we are. They have called the phone number but there is no answer. Not a good sign. But, there is another entrance where we finally gained entry. We were thirsty and did not give up. We found the Barman who was pleasant enough and we got a couple of "cold beers", American light lagers. They were tasty. He had to go somewhere else to get our beers even though the taps were right in front of us. The tasting area is Spartan and low key. There are a couple of tvs playing sports. Nothing special. There is nothing special about this place. There is an outdoor area but the weather was inclement so we stayed indoors.Ok for a quick beer but not worth another visit. Mark.

This is the tiniest little brewery I've ever seen. But, for a small place, it packs a punch! There's a front entrance with live music, a few tables, TVs, and a mini sized bar. There's also an even tinier back entrance with a few seats (18) at the bar and outdoor seatings with umbrellas... and on the side there's a covered patio. Look, this is Colonial Beach so for them to have a brewery at all is a huge accomplishment! Go CB!! As for the brews, I had the Potomac Pale Ale which was very foamy and bitter; and the Beach Blonde Ale which was crisp and easy sipping. My friend had the Beach Haze which she said was her fav. If you are ever in the CB, this is definitely worth stopping in for a beer!

We had a great time at Colonial Beach Brewing! Though a limited selection of beers, all that we tried were fantastic. The Peach Seltzer beer was really good for those that are not big "beer people." Very welcoming atmosphere had some fun games to provide a chance to get into the air conditioning and out of the heat. Would definitely return if we were in the area.
