Old Bust Head Brewing Co.

Visited Wednesday afternoon shortly after opening. only a few people at first but had a large crowd by 6, trivia night. Its in an old timber framed warehouse. There is plenty of room with rough sawn wooden tables and benches, though no bar seating, which probably adds to the speed of service. Very nice atmosphere and a welcome change from the usual industrial park spaces that look like an office building cafeteria.

Service was friendly and efficient. and the beer I've sampled was good or better. I forgot to count but I'm sure they had over 2 dozen beers on tap with a number of styles that I don't generally see (Dubbel, Wheatwine, Steam Beer) plus multiple examples of the usual IPAs, Sours and Stouts. A great selection overall. Plenty of cans and bottles to go including singles.

Really like this place and can't wait to go again.

Busy spot at around 6 on a weekday. Possible some sort of fundraiser going on for the Maui fires, given the big group of people in Hawai'ian shirts. Pretty open space with lots of communal seating, no bar seating. Service was polite, friendly, and quick, despite how busy they were. Beers ranged from ok to good, but there was a really good selection of styles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We've enjoyed going there a few times...even had my wife's birthday party there. You can rent out their party room...not a huge room but large enough to put all your food and chairs and then folks can come and go from the party room into the main room as they please. Main room is nice and they often have live music. Foodwise you have to rely on food trucks...some of which seem pretty good from the turnout. When I was there recently their on tap list was a decent size though in March it had been seemingly much lengthier. Could be just bad memory on my part. I've enjoyed most of their brews and the environment is certainly very nice. Service is usually pretty good and I usually recommend the brewery overall to friiends and coworkers.

 

Best place to bring a group in the area; large tap room, friendly folks, and a cross-section of styles. I've enjoyed everything I've tried there.

 

 

lots of beers. Very good. Food truck. Big screen tv.

 

 

 

I visited Old Bust Head on 10/31/15. They have a very nice taproom. They have a pretty large bar, where you order your beer, and a good sized seating area. They also had seating out front on their porch, as well as tables around the back, where the food trucks park.

On top of selling beers for on-site consumption, they also offer 6 packs, growlers & kegs to go.

I found the beers to be pretty good, and the staff was super nice and helpful.

Great setup for a small brewery. Live music (on some nights), awesome atmosphere, great appearance, friendly staff, awesome food truck service and good variety of brews! Highly recommend for anyone living in or visiting the NOVA area.

 

 

I visited here a week before they transitioned between the warehouse and new tasting room and have yet to go back. I plan on going back. The beer was good and the people were friendly.

 

 

They also make a really nice Kombucha.

 

 

Pretty varied selection for not being open so long.

 

 

When you think of visiting a brewery, the experience you receive at OBH is like none other. Surrounded by multiple warehouses, there is a pavilion type area where OBH puts on events. They at times have live bands play, they have a station setup for local food vendors to sell their products, and even baby goat mascots for the kids to play with. OBH has something for everybody, including kids. I never would have thought about bringing my two year old to a brewery, but she had a great time...especially playing with the baby goats. They are also in the process of building a large taproom to hold events and tastings in that should be ready later this summer.

The Management/Ownership run a tight ship and everything moves seamlessly. My family arrived on Father's Day with roughly about 12 people, and there were few places left to sit because the place was so packed. One of the OBH employees went out of her way to grab my family another table in the warehouse to make it a bit more comfortable for us.

Although the lines can be long at a times, they move quickly. But the lines are long because the product is that good! They have a great selection of beers, including an IPA, EPA, Pilsner and Porter...with more products to be released down the road. On top of that, their beers are priced very reasonably as well as their retail merchandise (Hats, Shirts, Pint Glasses, etc).

If you live in Northern Virginia and you are beer lover, or even if you just want to try something new, make your way out to OBH in Warrenton and I'm confident you will leave satisfied. They are a start-up operation doing great things, and I look forward to their continued success.
