Compiling a list of the best breweries in the DMV area is no small feat- the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia areas have experienced exciting growth in the brewery industry, with a new appreciation for fine craft beers fueling the rise in demand and the boom in brewery construction. But even with the long list of both new and established breweries in the DMV area, there are a handful that rise to the top.

Here are a few of the best breweries in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia – the cream of the (hop) crop, so to speak:

 

Barley Mac (Arlington, VA)

With 14 premium drafts to choose from at Barley Mac, you can enjoy the likes of Port City Porter, Lagunitas IPA, or Allagash White, just to name a few. The variety doesn’t end at the beer list either – each of their menus (brunch, lunch, dinner, and happy hour) feature a wide selection of modern takes on classic American fare. If you find yourself in need of a late-night bite and brew, their Late Night Menu offers delicious options like poutine and a gravy and egg-topped burger to pair with your beer. The impressive modern-industrial vibe makes Barley Mac a cool hangout spot that will surely become a top favorite. Click to see a full gallery of the completed work.

 

Atlas Brew Works (Washington D.C.)

The dedicated tap room at Atlas Brew Works doesn’t just feature a cool, modern design – the extensive list of beers on-tap is pretty impressive as well. Choices range from American stouts like Silent Neighbor to the rare, barrel-aged Imperial Stout named Tomb Essence. Offering a mix of flagship brews and rotating seasonal selections available in both pints and flights, Atlas Brew Works makes it easy to find something to satisfy your craft beer craving.
