For the last few weeks, I’ve been hearing a lot about Port City Brewing Company. They recently earned the national title of Small Brewing Company and Small Brewing Company Brewer of the Year at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival in Denver. They beat out the other 517 breweries in the small brewery category. 
We were welcomed by a friendly, good looking bartender who explained how the flights worked: $12 for six tickets and an extensive taster menu:;
Tidings Ale ended up being my favorite one. It’s a Belgian Strong Blond and has honey, ginger, cardamom and coriander. I mostly tasted the ginger – mild and very refreshing. 
Every Friday night, the Borinquen Lunch Box food truck parks out front from 5:30 to 9 pm. DELICIOUS! I had the arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas), tostones (fried plantains) and a vegetarian empanada. John devoured his Cubano sandwich. If you’re looking for some authentic Puerto Rican food, I highly recommend stopping by for a bite (or take away). 
This was the first of many visits – I’ll definitely be checking out Trivia Night but will pass on science fiction night. I’ll wait for history trivia. There’s also Beer Yoga and Comedy Night.
Port City Brewing Company is located at 3950 Wheeler Avenue, Alexandria. Give it a taste…

Seems everything is expensive in London! At least it seemed that way when we lived there.
As far as Port City Brewery, the “growler” seems to be the most economical: 64oz (1.89 litres) container is $6.50 then $15.00 to fill. After that it’s just the refill cost of $15. Not that I could come close to drinking that. The taster glass is fine with me…

yes, I wouldn’t be able to drink that either 😉 But if you can share it’s a decent price for 64oz !

What a fun place!
I first chuckled at Beer Yoga, then decided that after a beer or two, I might be more flexible and able to get into the poses

I attended a “wine yoga” in London. Sadly, they served the wine after yoga. I could have used it BEFORE 😉
