Beer in VA

[ryser2k]

I will be living in Fairfax, VA for a month while I do a job in Reston, VA. I'm wondering if any of you locals can recommend brewpubs, homebrew shops, microbreweries, or any other hot spots for me to visit during my stay...

Unfortunately I don't think the Marriott people would appreciate me homebrewing in my room, even if I do have a kitchenette...

I bought some stuff from http://www.annapolishomebrew.com/ which is in Annapolis which is not to awful far east from you. I wish I was close enough to get by there.

Yeah I forgot all about that place... I had planned on hopping over to Annapolis one weekend just for sightseeing, maybe I'll swing by there. Thanks for the reminder!

Anyone else have suggestions? I know there's at least 2 or 3 VA residents on this board, where are you guys hiding?

Sam and I both live much farther south than Fairfax. In fact, there are only about 2 places I'd even recommend if you got down this far, the Bier Garten in Portsmouth and the Greenleaf Cafe in Williamsburg.
I don't know up north very well.
If you are working in Reston/Fairfax, look up a Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner after work some night. They usually have a good selection of beers and of course pretty awesome wings. Try the Thai.
Not sure if one is close enough though.

Thanks for the info, I'll let you guys know if I find anything on my own...
