Atlas Alexandria Brewery & Tap Room ready to open June 21

As we reported in January 2023, Washington, D.C.’s Atlas Brew Works planned a late-2023 opening for its third taproom in a mixed-use development in Alexandria, Virginia. After a slight delay, the Altas Alexandria Brewery & Tap Room is opening to the public on Friday, June 21, at 11am.

“While our beer has been available in Virginia for a while, having a brick-and-mortar brewery in the state will allow us to continue to grow our relationship with our customers while brewing new and exciting recipes,” said Atlas Brew Works Founder & CEO Justin Cox.

This 6,000 sq ft Altas Alexandria Brewery & Tap Room space includes a brewhouse with a production capacity of 2,000 barrels, six bright tanks, a 1,500 sq ft of outdoor patio, and a long beer hall-style bar. The brewhouse will be led by Director of Brewing Operations Daniel Vilarrubi.

Atlas Alexandria Brewery & Tap Room opening day

In celebration of the Altas Alexandria Brewery & Tap Room opening weekend, Atlas Alexandria will offer a free slice of Andy’s Pizza with purchase of a pint of beer from Friday, June 21, through Sunday, June 23, during normal operating hours. Whoa! Hopping in the car right now.

Tap Room fun

Fans of the Atlas brand will find familiarity in delicious food offerings from Andy’s Pizza like pizza, salads, wings, and fries, similar to the Navy Yard location, and comfort in the old school arcade vibe of Ivy City with pinball machines and other various nostalgic games.

A semi-private space will be available for celebrations and social gatherings, and beer tastings and tours will also be available for groups when booked in advance.

Sustainability

Keeping with its reputation and mission of sustainable stewardship, Atlas plans to pursue sustainable energy sources at the Alexandria Brewery & Tap Room. The location will use 100% electricity for both the brewery and the kitchen, eliminating the use of traditional fossil fuels. The brewery design allows for Atlas to employ water reclamation in its processes, saving both water and energy consumption in the brewing process.

Atlas is available in bars, restaurants, and stores throughout DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Tennessee. DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio residents can order Atlas through DTC shipping.
