Heritage Brewing

Went this past weekend, very nice looking location. The beer selection was vast allowing for possibility of finding new favorite. The on site beer aficionados were knowledgable, & friendly. I will definitely be coming back.

Nice tasting room. I really like the rustic concrete bar and the barnwood below the bar top. Nice wooden seats separate the brewing space from the tasting room. Service was fine. Unfortunately their flagship brews are very underwhelming. Their limited and firkin releases are much better. Do not waste your time and money on the flagships but do try to get out and taste taste the others.

The beers were good, the people were very nice, and the layout is very different. The indoor/​outdoor, along with the streaming on the walls, the lighting, the high ceilings and ample space made this a different experience from most brewhouses. I went with my wife, and we agreed that we will be back because of the people, and to see if we can find a beer to rave about. We had 3 different beers, and all were fine. Not bad, but I want something to love, and I didn’t get it here. Maybe next time.

Any brewery that plays «Bohemian Rhapsody» within 15 minutes of my arrival is more than likely going to be a keeper in my book! Then I discovered they were streaming «The Princess Bride» on the side wall and my heart exploded.
And with that intro, I will mention how AWESOME Heritage’s beer is. I started with a flight (4 beers) of their Expedition, Revolution, current seasonal/​firkin (a Christmas-​y tasting beer), and their experimental beer, a sour one, with a complicated name that I did not make note of. (next time!) I ended up with a small glass of the firkin followed by the aforementioned experimental sour beer, which I was oddly enamored with.
While Heritage does not serve food, they do have bags of potato chips available for purchase as well as a partnership of sorts with a local BBQ delivery joint. Because beer and BBQ, how can you go wrong?
The 3 ‘beertenders’ at Heritage with whom I interacted were all very friendly, knowledgeable and eager to make sure I had a beer in front of me.
This is a brewery I will definitely be returning to again very soon! 2 thumbs up and keep that beer comin’.

My first and perhaps my only Unilocal review all because after going to many a brewery…
Flying Dog
Dogfish Head
Heavy Seas
Lost Rhino
Adroit Theory
… to name a few
I had to put in a review for Heritage because I had that great an experience there!
I’ll say I’m not rating them a ⁵⁄₅ based on beer even though I love their beer and I would rate it a ⁵⁄₅ (only place I’ve bought a large quantity from and will go back for more)
What I am rating them ⁵⁄₅ on is customer service! I was there Saturday night late and I have to say they were awesome and by far they were the best out of any brewery, any food service, I’ve been too. Chris and Megan were down right amazing, both with knowledge of their product and beer in general, but also in their true personable nature, they clearly love what they do even after a long day of working and that is something that is rare indeed!
If you’re in the area I highly recommend stopping by, hell I recommend driving there in the area or not because you won’t just find high quality kick ass beer, you’ll also find the best service out of anywhere period
Can’t wait to go back! ¹⁰⁄₅!

What an exciting find, hiding behind Southern States, right in the City of Manassas. We walked in late on a Saturday and were greeted by a small crowd and warm atmosphere. I tried a few samples before settling on the Kings Mountain Scotch Ale– which I had two of and are delicious. I also grabbed a bottle of the new bottled Scotch Ale to take home! There is no food available on site but they have a clever partnership with The Bone, which will deliver on site Friday and Saturday. We got lucky and had some delivered here. To sum up, we had a great first visit. The brewery is all around you, rustic, dark– yet inviting. Get a flight of you are unsure of what beer to try!

3.5 stars, but will move up to 4 stars because they were kind enough to switch-​out two beers I didn’t like with different ones. But $ 7 for a flight of 4 samples ain’t bad.
Heritage is set in what looks like an industrial park, with the bar area up front and the brewing area in the back. Fancy, this place is not. Then again, how fancy can you be when you have beer pong?
Their beer list has NO LAGERS; this place is 100% ales. As with many microbreweries, Heritage don’t have the refrigeration space/​time to invest in lagers, so ales it is. So if ales are your thing then you’d enjoy this place. If not, you may be in trouble. They have a set of 4 ‘flagship’ beers and change out the others on a regular basis.
As someone who’s enjoys lagers much more than ales, I’m probably not the best reviewer. Nonetheless, I did like the American Revolution ale, which was quite citrucy. The American Expedition was also OK. But I didn’t enjoy the coffee flavored Sovereign Stout or the Spice Ale nearly as much.

Most important thing– Solid beer. No complaints there. Went there one night when they were canning new beer. Really cool to see for about 10 minutes, then the loud noise kinda got to me. Trivia nights are really fun. Good crowd of people.

This place is great. Friendly workers, good vibe. I like the industrial park setting. The tour offered on Saturdays is really cool and the beers are very good.

Awesome atmosphere, great beer, really down to earth people! Highly recommend everyone try this place out!

Owner is Terrific and some great craft beers. Also does a lot of work for veterans and the militarily which is commended. Recommend checking out the brewery in the evening for some great beer education.

Heritage Brewing is a high quality brewery with a great selections of beers for every taste. The brewery is a fun place to hang out, from live music to trivia to just hanging with friends. The staff is cool and knowledgable and always make you feel at home. The brewery tour is always fun. Pumped to see these guys at the Verizon Center, too!

A great brewery with a large selection of craft beers, live music, special releases and a fantastic staff. The tours are comprehensive, educational and entertaining and include a tasting or a pint. They allow outside food and a variety of local restaurants deliver to the brewery.
Outside there are picnic tables with tasteful lighting, oversized «bear» pong and plenty of space. The staff is always quick, friendly and knowledgeable about the beers on tap.
Oh, the live music on Friday nights is really awesome!

Worth the trip to find them in an industrial park. Really like the tap room and assistant brewer Chris does a fanatic job of describing and explaining the various beers. Favorites are either the oak aged or the nitro King Mountain scotch ales. Bone BBQ makes deliveries in the evening on the weekend so that satisfy the munchies. Overall, a good spot to enjoy craft beers.
Somethings to get it into the 5-​star rating by offering the following:
1) Vanilla stout (No coffee stouts)
2) Wi-​Fi (no brainer)
3) TVs with cable (something other than ESPN Sports would be nice)
4) An Eva look-​a-​like contest (complete with broken ankle)
5) Cage dancers (draws in crowds during the low periods)
6) Vanilla stout (see #1)

I don’t post many reviews on the breweries, wineries, restaurants, etc. that I’ve been too, but I felt compelled to do so for Heritage. Way too many «educated» people giving garbage reviews.
The beers are just fine and beer than most in the area. White Marsh is one of the best beers I have had in the DMV ever. Hands down the best.
I’ve been to Heritage many times and will continue to go back. Sean and his staff are very knowledgeable of their beers and the brewing process in generally. Very friendly and helpful. I love the ambiance of the place — this is the type of place I enjoy drinking a beer. I can be myself here.

I’ve been here twice and can’t wait to go back. The Freedom Isn’t Free and the Battle of the White Marsh are excellent!

Meh. The beer was okay and the location was nice and spacious. The bartender who served us was great. I didn’t love any part of the experience and wouldn’t go out of my way to visit again. I do admire what they are doing and seeing that they give back, unfortunately, it just doesn’t make the cut.

First off, I like to support businesses started by veterans. I also like how they use 100% domestic grains in their product and support American farmers, not farmers in England or Germany.
No real complaints about the taste, some of the beers were cloudy – especially the Scottish Ale which should be crystal clear.
Pleasant enough place. Would like there to be a «watchable» TV. There was a some kind of projection device shooting a picture on a wall, but it was washed out by the sunshine. It would be nice to have stayed long enough to watch the Belmont Stakes, but we left early because the TV was so bad, actually non-​existent.
Lastly, the staff, while polite and energetic, didn’t know much about the ales. They didn’t know what the IPA was hopped with or if peeted malt was in the Scotch Ale.
Very much worth visiting and having pints or buying beer to take home. 5 stars I reserve for truly extraordinary breweries that have almost no flaws, 4 stars for excellent. But these beers did have some visual flaws.

Heritage Brewing Company is (I think) relatively new to the area. It’s a brewery near Old Town Manassas, owned and operated by Vets which I love. They have a long bar that stretches around part of the brewery. There is also seating and corn hole outside.
My friends and I decided on samplers. We figure why not, especially since none of us had been to Heritage Brewing Company. You get to pick from their list which is on a chalkboard. The list contains their Flagship beers as well as their seasonal beers. I tried the Revolution, The Teddy which is a Pale Ale, and American Expedition for their flagship beers and the White Marsh under their seasonal beers. I think the tasting was $ 6.00 for four, which isn’t bad. My favorite was the White Marsh. It’s the perfect summer sipping beer.
Everyone was really nice and the atmosphere was laid back. Great way to spend a Saturday evening.

I appreciate the theme, but that’s all they have going for them.
Freedom isn’t free IPA tasted like they used belgian yeast and was more malty than hoppy. Are they using belgian yeast here? But the can says «American IPA».
I couldn’t even finish the pint they poured me. So I bought a 6-​pack to give the cans a try because sometimes there is a difference between cans and draught. The cans I bought were over-​carbonated and a quarter of the beer fizzed out into my sink.
Something is off. this isn’t an IPA its a malty belgian pale ale. I came here because of the other Unilocal reviews and afterward think they are misleading. It may be a fun place to hang out, but not because of the beer. They have more work to do.
I agree with an earlier review that was spot on — there is a high amount of fusel alcohols and unwarranted esters. Their beer is not palatable. I can’t finish a single one of their beers. Drain pour.

I visited Heritage Brewing for the first time for my husband’s birthday last year (yes, this review is long overdue).
It happened to be during round 1 of the NOVA BBQ Brawl. We were fortunate that it was an absolutely gorgeous spring day so the garage doors were open and outdoor drinking was allowed. Lots of families and dogs just hanging out and soaking up the sun. There were live music acts, corn hole, and multiple BBQ vendors.
While the place was pretty packed, mostly folks hanging outside, it wasn’t difficult to get a drink. The staff was friendly and helpful. I really like the concept behind Heritage Brewing. It’s veteran owned, they use mostly organic ingredients, they are big on sustainability (check out those pallet benches), and 1% of their sales goes to charity. It’s hard not to get behind their business for those reasons alone… but add beer and I’m SOLD.
They have a few flagship beers — Freedom Isn’t Free and Kings Mountain were my preferred choices. I’m hoping to try out some of their oak aged varieties next time. Heritage also offers up beer cocktails, they used a better name, but a blend of beers if you will. I definitely want to go back so I can pick up a six pack of cans and to get my hands on some of their seasonal and limited batch brews.

Update: lower prices:
Sometime last year, Heritage lowered the price of flagship pints in the taproom from $ 7 to $ 5.
They also started selling 6 packs of cans (Freedom or King’s Mountain) to take home for $ 8, including tax.
I guarantee you will not find a better IPA or Scotch Ale retail for $ 8 or less.
When the taproom is open, it is my favorite place to drink in Manassas.

First visit to this local brewery and brew pub. They have a limited selection of their creations. I had their tasting flight and a glass of their Oak Aged Kings Mountain Scottish Ale. I particularly liked the latter and bought a bottle. Their brew pub is located within their brewing facility. The pub only has beer, potato chips, and a very limited soft drink selection for non-​beer drinkers. I liked it much better than the other nearby brew pub. I plan to return and recommend it to other beer lovers.

Three of us stopped in at Heritage Brewing Co. on a Saturday afternoon of the 2014 St. Patrick’s Day weekend. We arrived in the early afternoon — there were a lot of folks clad in shamrocks and green — I guess a lot of folks who attended the City of Manassas St. Patrick’s Day parade came to Heritage Brewing Co. afterward to drink Ales and celebrate!
Heritage is an industrial style building — so don’t come here expecting a refined ambiance. It’s kind of like drinking in someone’s giant garage!
This was our first time at Heritage. We were looking forward to trying out a flight of their wares. However, due to St. Patrick’s Day weekend festivities, they had suspended flights in favor of pints.
I was disappointed as I was the driver — I was looking forward to tasting a number of Ales. So I ordered one brew — the «Freedom Isn’t Free» IPA, while my friends proceeded to have several pints each! The Freedom Isn’t Free IPA is an IPA for folks who are not hops fans — as it is most definitely not an IPA for hop heads — which I am, But I still enjoyed the Ale.
We chatted with the staff, and we got to meet Sean, the young man who is the owner/​brewmaster. Super knowledgeable and all-​around nice guy. We enjoyed talking with him.
Can’t wait to come back and try out some actual flights of Ales!

The Revolution has begun!
Kings Mountain, Revolution & Sovereign Stout.
I tried one of each and they were all good. I lean more toward the Revolution, a nice malty Amber ale.
The tasting room is open and airy and offers a full view of the 20 brew tanks and artisan half tanks against a backdrop of Old Glory.
You must try this place. It’s more than a place to drink beer.
It’s a celebration of our heritage as Americans, it captures the spirit of those that have gone before us and offers a nod to the history of our American Revolution.
The Kings Mountain gives remembrance to a key battle as the Patriots defeated the British Loyalist in this area near my home town in North Carolina
An independently owned & operated brewery in Old Town Manassas.
They focus on sustainable practices and local organic ingredients, they are 100 percent American.
Congratuations to Sean, Julian & Ryan on realizing your vision and a successful opening on a chilly New Years eve in Old Town.
