The Virginia Beer Company

We are locals, and have been TRYING to be loyal to our local Beer Company, VBC. However, this has happened to us 3 times now, and we (my Wife and I) are very frustrated. On 3 seperate occasions, (once from beer brought directly from your brewery, once from Food Lion, and once from the BP on Penneman Rd), we have wound up buying Free Verse that had COPIOUS AMOUNTS of Sediment, like it was not properly filtered. Once, I didn't notice until after it was too late and it made my Wife and Myself sick! Needless to say, Virginia Beer Company has really let us down, and has now had three strikes. I guess we'll shift our loyalty to one of the several other breweries in town. Too bad.Update: I DID send a message through the contact form on your website BEFORE choosing to leave reviews because I felt that VBC was not truly interested in satisfying our disappointment, and on the previous 2 occasions we actually went into your tasting room to bring it to your staff's attention. Both times we got the same story, that this just doesn't happen and doesn't make it past your safety standards, etc. Well... It has happened 3 times now, despite your repeated assurances that it doesn't happen. THAT is why I resorted, after 3 unsuccessful attempts to seek resolution with you (or your staff).... Like I said, "3 strikes".

THE BIG: A nice small local brewery in Williamsburg. Parking is onsite and there's even a boutique hot dog stand outside.THE BLACK AND WHITE: The second stop of the beer tour around Williamsburg. It was surprisingly packed when we came and I was also confounded that there were a bunch of little kids celebrating a birthday here. I guess the parents had to make sure they're having fun too.The most memorable beer here was the kolsch. Nice and crisp. I was also curious about their Imperial smoothie sour. It wasn't on tap but you can individually buy a can and as long as you drink it on premises, you're golden.THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall a flight of four beers was ~$11 and a can of the No Ragrets imperial smoothie sour was ~$8. Very delicious brews here.

Fun brew pub with some fantastic beers. Tried the Free Verse and Gorgeous IPA's, the Double IPA (Stingin' Ink) and the Oatmeal Stout. All were good. They had a really fun band. There's a lot of seating. Outdoors as well. You can bring in your own snacks or order from the food truck parked outside. Beers for sale in their cooler. Conveniently located right off the interstate. It was easy to find being an out-of-towner. Loud with the band but once they opened the garage door to the outside it was tolerable. Bartender friendly and funny. Come here for a fun night.

We visit Virginia Beer Co. frequently since the inlaws live in Williamsburg. This spot offers lots of out door seating with fire pits for colder days. Indoor seating can get a little tight on busy days Dogs are allowed indoors and outdoors! They offer a wide variety of beers and all of the bartenders are super nice! The sell some chips but also have food trucks which they post the schedule to their instagram page. There is plenty of parking here! Great brewery in Williamsburg!

A small, brewery in Williamsburg with indoor and outdoor seating. They have a mix of beers available on tap and in can. Most of their experimental beers are in a can, so you do need to buy one to taste it. My husband, brother and I decided to share a flight and a smoothie sour. The beer is pretty darn good. I loved the kolch and California common. It was clean, crisp, and had great flavor. The smoothie sour was more sour than smoothie in my opinion. They also have snacks and sometimes a hotdog stand outside.

Great brewery with outdoor fire pit seating area. Went here for my birthday as a surprise. I'm not a huge beer drinker, but they manage to have some cider selection. Not much of a food menu, but service was great, the staff was nice here. I will return.

Fast service. Happy employees as it appears! Great ambience for a beer place. Nice outdoor seating. Good music. And of course you gotta do a flight to test all those funky name beers!

I really wish I was a local so I could come here all the time. The sour beer was truly excellent, the space is large and conducive to talking to your neighbors, and the huge outdoor patio has multiple fire pits. They also had a bbq taco truck the night we were there. Oh - and it's dog friendly. Do yourself a favor and stop by.

Friendly! It's a nice big space inside and out. Great beer. Dog friendly and outside has gas fire features. Food truck was available.

Great beer, small venue with a good energy (obvious local favorite). Staff is friendly and the location is clean. Playoff football yesterday was made better by watching here. Food trucks are generally great as well, best day of the week IMO is Thursday, when Bald Guys is their regular truck. Check out VBC!
