House 6 Brewing

A relaxing brewery in the NOVA suburbs in a warehouse district with a spacious taproom and generous sitting that offers some good beers of various styles on draft.

 

The brewery sits in a little office park about a mile or so behind Loudoun One shopping center. The tasting room is not the largest, but there's about a 20 seat bar, a few high tops, and a few picnic tables for groups. There are adult and kids games available. The theme within the pseudo-industrial interior of the place comes from the fireman realm. It's not overdone - some ladders, hoses, and other equipment as well as pictures and a wall of patches from various fire and first responder departments.

It was quiet when we first got to the place (after lunch on a Saturday), and the owner and staff were friendly and helpful talking about the brewery and the beers they offered. By mid-afternoon the place was full but not packed. There was a food truck that I think has a fairly regular presence there, and the brewery sells snacks and soft drinks if desired.

I was happily surprised by the selection of almost a dozen beers. Yes, they had three IPAs, but each was a little different. They had two stouts, one a nice roasty regular stout and the other a dessert stout. They had a barrel-aged beer (a brown ale, actually), and a berliner-like tart ale (with syrup available). As I understand, their core beers include one of the IPAs, a Kolsch, and a smoked beer. The also had a festbier on tap at this time.

Hopefully the variety of options is normal, especially if the quality of the selections holds up as well. The beers I had were all pretty well done, most above average and all meeting basic expectations. The clientele unsurprisingly included many regulars, and there was some mixed beers being attempted right before we left (not counting on that being available regularly, but the staff was having fun with it).

So overall, I'd definitely suggest at least a quick stop in to try their stuff if you are nearby.

 

Best brewhouse in LoCo as far as I am concerned. Great place to just chill, have one beer or twenty, enjoy some food truck or order in, and meet folks from the community. A lot of fire/police/military/vets go here too, so it is always great to share stories and shoot the S. Great variances of beers too, so there is something for everyone!
