I stopped by on a Friday afternoon just to check this place out and have a beer. It was relatively empty so the staff were attentive. I chose a Hoppy Brown which was satisfying and tasted just like the name. I had a little taste of their Hazy IPA and that was enough to get me to buy a four pack to go. Small tasting room that is fairly plain. I didn’t check out the rest of the inside. Apparently there are more seating areas. It was definitely low key as others have described it. Plenty of outdoor seating with nice lighting. Parking was easy right next to the door as well as a parking lot across the street. Their beers are all solid so I don’t think that you can miss. It’s definitely worth a visit!

Love the beer, love the atmosphere, and love how dog friendly they are (both indoors and outdoors)! They also have food trucks on some nights, and other nights you can order pizza or bring food if you want.

Nice large brewery with many different drinking areas, including a large outdoor beer garden. Beers are all solid, with a handful of seasonal offerings. No wine or seltzer options for anyone not drinking. Food offerings are minimal as well (cheese and charcuterie), unless there is a food truck. We came during peak Omicron, so we appreciated the contactless ordering from the QR codes posted on the outside picnic tables. If you are visiting Alexandria, definitely worth a stop- especially on a nice day.

Amazing fresh beer, great staff, ambiance is so welcoming. Setting has space for all sorts of events and gatherings. Make sure to pick up some beer to go! Definitely top 5 USA breweries on my list!

Do you like light beers, dark beers, heavy beers, smaller beers, award-winning beers, and great service/atmosphere? If so, check these guys out! They make some of the best beers in the region (for me, the Optimal Wit, the Porter, and most of the lagers stand out) and to top it off they're some of the coolest folks around. We go at least once or twice a month (we're runners, and they host a weekly run club on Mondays), and I never leave disappointed. They're a very dog friendly brewery, so I get the additional benefit of meeting a lot of new canine friends. Ample indoor and outdoor seating is available. The only small caveat is they don't have a robust food selection (chips and prepackaged sandwiches), but they're fine with folks bringing snacks/food, and I think they have food trucks most weekends.

Always a good experience at Port City Brewing. Great variety of Craft beers. Service is always really good and fast. Wish they had trays or paddles or something for carrying Beer Flights. Very dog friendly. Lots there during this visit. The Food Truck (didn't catch the name) had awesome Wood Fired Pizzas. Invite them back please. Will be back.

After leaving Harrisonburg VA this afternoon, my work travels took me to Arlington/Alexandria VA. The closest Brewery to me was Port City. I checked out the Beer List and decided this sounded like my kind of place. They specialize in Lagers of all styles. Each one was unique, distinctive, and delicious. Once again I found myself at a loss of which was my favorite. They do flights of 6 at a time and provide you with tickets which you turn in for each sample. I tried 2 at a time, which made it easy to pair up my sample. I started with the Downright Pilsner and Pizza Night Lager. Then I moved on to the Mexican Dark Lager and the Schwarzbier Black Lager. Finally ended with the Helles Lager and the Oktoberfest. They gave me a freebie of the Porter. In all honesty, I could not choose one as my favorite as I felt all of them offered something I enjoy in my craft beer. If you've not checked them out, please do so. You won't be disappointed. Especially if you like Lagers!

1) Not my style of venues/ not my style of beers. 🍻 And... Any type of "Food" is an afterthought.🍿🥙 2) Met up with dear friends (8) plus event organizer's relatives (2). 3) Meet & Greet event scheduled for 2-hours. The chairs in the main room are not what I would say are "comfortable". I was relieved when our time came to a close. 4) If you like beer, are ISO a local business to patronize, and don't mind sitting on chairs and stools that are not comfortable, this is a favorite around town. The event👉🏽organizer used to be a regular.🍺 FTR: There's space for Private Parties,👍🏼free parking, and your choice of outdoor/ indoor tables, plus a very small bar.

A wonderful place to gather after work!!! And I have had the good fortune to meet the owners and other. Very nice folks. If you have the opportunity to visit, I highly recommend it. Enjoy!!!

Visited from out of state and it was an amazing experience! Highly recommend the tour on weekends as you learn a lot about the history of the brewery and how their operations work. All workers there provided excellent customer service and my tour guide was great! Definitely will visit again when I'm in town as Port City provides excellent quality beer at a great price for consumers (especially in 4 and 6 packs to go)!

Best beer joint in Alexandria!. Be sure to to try beach drive and helles!
