After hearing good things about Aslin, we decided to stop in while exploring Alexandria's brewery scene, and we're glad we did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is much bigger than it appears from the outside. The brewery has a huge open layout with multiple levels, plenty of seating, a full kitchen, arcade games, merchandise, and lots of room to spread out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was even a private event taking place during our visit, but the space is so large that it never affected the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Of course, the main reason we came was the beer. Aslin has built a strong reputation for a reason. The IPA I ordered was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for from a brewery known for hop-forward beers. We also decided to grab some food and were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The pepperoni and hot honey pizza was outstanding, with a crispy crust and just the right amount of sweetness from the honey. The cheese curds were another winner and paired perfectly with the beer. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and everything felt well organized despite a steady crowd. I also appreciated the large selection of beer to-go, glassware, hats, shirts, and other brewery swag available for purchase. One thing to note: they are completely cashless, so bring a credit or debit card. Between the excellent beer, surprisingly good food, fun atmosphere, and spacious layout, Aslin ended up being one of our favorite brewery stops in Alexandria. We'd happily come back for another round of IPAs and pizza the next time we're in town. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is awesome for kiddos and the staff is phenomenal! Super helpful and soooo nice![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But let me tell you about their food menu. Best spinach artichoke dip I have ever had. Like ever. Ask my husband, I get it on almost every menu and I will dream about this one forever. The kale salad was all the right amount of texture and flavor and the hot honey pepperoni pizza was a treat. Also, I jude places on the ranch and this one absolutely passed! The sours were great. Would not recommend the wine though- the white was very full bodied and savory? lol. read more

I've been here a few times and it's a good place to go, hang out, have a few drinks and maybe something to eat. First, they have a good selection of beers. Most of the beers they make that I've had have been good, plus I think they switch at least some of them up from time to time. Other than that, they have some food available. I ordered a pizza with prosciutto, fig and burratta and it was great. The whole experience was great and I'd recommend Aslin if you're looking to visit a microbrewery in northern Virginia. read more

Overall a nice brewery! Beers: good selection of beers that you can sample before doing a full or half pour Food: large selection of food from burgers to pizza to hot dogs and more. We had the white pizza and it was tasty. Our server was great! He was taking care of behind the bar and bringing out food from the kitchen as it was early afternoon and not overly busy on a Monday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a large space with lots of seating and even an upstairs area. Also a long bar area with seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have games on hand too which is always nice![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is an enjoyable spot to chill with friends and have some local beer and some pizza.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The layout is a little odd since they have some normal tables and chairs but then also lots of long picnic style tables with backless benches.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It seems to work well for large groups or kids bday parties (a few of each were there) but maybe not ideal for a long visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fortunately we had a comfortable table and chairs so that wasn't an issue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I can see where it could get crowded though at popular times.They encourage folks to stay and hang out for awhile and lots of people were hanging out playing board games, cards, etc.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The beer is a good variety here (not Just a million IPAs) and I believe they brew everything they serve. I enjoyed everything including the interesting and unique apizza beer that had an enjoyable almost cucumber taste. They didn't have any porters or stouts on tap when I went but that's probably because it's summer and they rotate often. The pizza here isn't cheap but it's enjoyable, tasty and not too greasy. A large prosciutto and mission fig pizza served four of us and went well with our beer. Service here is different than most places but seems to work very well. Rather than an assigned server, you order on your phone and various servers bring out your food and beverages. You can close your tab or keep it open and pay via your phone when you're ready to leave. You can grab water from a tap next to the bar so you don't have to wait for someone to bring it to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was an enjoyable place to hang with friends and have some beer and pizza.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I won't come here too regularly since it's not too close to me but enjoyed it and will be back again. read more

This was our first time at this location and let me tell you it did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ended up sitting at the bar because there were a lot of kids and a lot of families and every employee that walked by us that was extremely attentive to our needs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From drinks to dinner it was all absolutely incredible. We even headed over to their gift shop area and snagged some really amazing T-shirts. The next time you are in Alexandria, Virginia, you have to stop in here. You will not be disappointed.

I really appreciate that Aslin puts on so many events. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've danced in the back room and caught live music up front--super fun in theory, but wow... it gets LOUD. Everything echoes and it's almost impossible to hear anyone you're with. Everyone ends up shouting just to chat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is hit or miss. Not gourmet, more typical bar food vibes. I do like that they're branching out with different options--ricotta, balsamic, and more than just the usual pizza, fries, and burgers. But they do have that too. I also like that they offer more than just beer. They've got slushies, a few wines, and some cocktails for non-beer drinkers like me. But overall, it was just an okay experience. The noise makes it hard to enjoy, the food is inconsistent, and beer isn't really my thing. It's in a convenient spot if you're meeting friends, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come solo or stay for hours. read more

It was completely empty because we were there as soon as it opened.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sat at the bar and my friend was able to sample a few of the beers they offered. I'm not much of a beer drinker so I ordered a shot of some exclusive whiskey (really good stuff). We ordered some food, I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and fries, with a side of the house sauce. The sandwich was decent overall, nothing too special, but then again, they specialize in brewing beer. Lol.

Great local brewery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Incredibly spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots on tap, beer and cocktails. I had half pours of IPAs which were all very tasty.

I'd guess that most come for the beer, and rightfully so as they have a wide variety of styles to choose from to meet the tastes of most people. But they have a great menu now. I had the burger and fries and it was great! I was there in the middle of the day so I wasn't competing with larger crowds for the servers attention. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a fun atmosphere, wide open with a large bar and ample picnic style tables for large groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are tv's for sports and games for kids[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I came here for lunch on a weekday with 3 others. Free parking was plentiful on the street. Just make sure you review the signage. Food: we ordered the Korean sandwich (came wirh waffle fries) and the Fig cheese pizza. Both were delicious (liked the kimchi in the burger a d the slight heat on the pizza) and we were stuffed and had leftovers. It's seat-yourself (we had to ask since it wasn't clear) and you scan a QR code to place your order online. There is free wifi. It's not intuitive if you're supposed to help yourself to boxes for leftovers (we ended up doing so, they're stacked in the corner, where the there are extra napkins and plasticware). Their beer menu had many options although only a couple for those who like dark or ambers, but not quite stouts. There are three sizes: half pour, full pour, and too much, but no indication of actual ounces on the menu, which would have been helpful, especially if ordering doesn't occur with a waiter to ask! It's pretty chill vibe, with tables but also picnic tables with deep benches. There was a small arcade in the corner and a decent board games selection for kids and adults alike. read more

Over the years I've had a few Aslin Beers thanks to friends or bottle shares. Thankfully, I finally got to come and it was relatively unplanned. On a day I purposely set aside for breweries, we were finishing up at one when a few other friends let me know they could meet. Based on where everyone lived, Aslin Beer in Alexandria actually ended up being the move convenient and we had an amazing. Just getting to see a few friends and their kids made this probably my favorite stop of the whole trip. It was easy to find, in an economic park area with their white sign in contrast to the dark building. It was easy to find parking and head inside. The taproom area had high ceilings, same as the brew house which sat at the back behind internal windows. At the front was a separate merchandise shop and what I assume is a private party room. The bar was at the right. We had a big table toward the back, with a lot of other happy people. They don't do flights per se, but you could order short pours of anything so I tried a bunch. They also had a selection of cold cans and bottles for on-premises consumption which we also ended up sharing as the night wore on. We tried a variety of their - things like pretzels, pizza, and other things that go well with beer. It was also trivia night, which we played but I don't know how well we did! The bartenders were excellent, super patient with our group and made it easy to do separate tabs and buy each other drinks. Prices were reasonable for the quality. Also, thank you for doing a sticker swap with me - they had some funny ones! We ended up staying until last call and were the last to leave. If you're a beer fan in the DC area, it's worth heading to an Aslin Beer taproom or brewery! read more

We will be back! read more

I often get IPA'S and while I like them relatively well sometimes it's hard to distinguish one IPA from another even if it's from another brewery because the flavor profiles are often so similar. Aslin was a brewery though I've seen a round quite a bit but never really got around to trying until more recent times. I got their IPA, the Maneating Toaster which I really was interested in due to cinnamon and vanilla being featured in the flavor profile. I figured it would be unique. And it was unique and quite memorable. While the cinnamon and vanilla may sound weird it actually works quite well with this milkshake style IPA. The smooth, milky body is a nice feature to this beer too but I really have to give kudos to the brewery for making the flavors play off of each other so well. If you are into creative and experimental tasting beers then definitely try this IPA! Looking forward to exploring more with their other beers! read more

Came to Aslins for a happy hour. This place is huge on the inside! Plenty of open space so you don't feel like you are on top of others as you are enjoying your beverage. Now there's not a huge presence of table waiter service because you can order directly at your table through a QR code. The drink menu didn't appeal to me so I just ordered a soda. The smash blt and the pizza fry Cho's were good. The burger was cooked perfectly except for the bacon. I prefer the bacon to be more on the crispy side. The fries here are waffle fries which means they are the perfect amount of crispness. The pizza fries did not disappoint and definitely worth trying out. It also seemed like a place where lots of locals come. read more

The only thing saving me from giving 1 star are the brussel sprouts which were cooked very well and topped with crispy scallions. read more

First timer today and was not disappointed! Stopped in on way home from lunch in DC and finally got to try Aslin beers. Located in a slightly industrial area near the old Cameron Station base in Alexandria. Industrial vibe with fun arcade area just when you walk in. Huge beer selection and bourbon. Everything from lagers and Czech lagers, IPA, double IPA, even a triple IPA! Stouts, sours, and more! Got all few half pours (Aka a flight - they don't do traditional board type flight but the putts were generous! And did a few tasters too!) Great service sitting at bar - friendly and personable staff and customers. Felt like hanging out with friends. Huge TVs and a projector screen showing several football games. Fantastic first experience. We tried the triple IPA, a Cinnamon Toast Crunch ipa, a dark Czech lager, both stouts, several sours. Very tasty nothing got below a 3.5 from me! Several 5 out of 5. Will be back They had Izzi pizza as a food option (didn't try but nice to know they had a good option) read more

Located in an area with plenty of parking and indoor space, this Aslin location is a great spot to bring family and friends. I have not had a beer here that I did not like and I think that they have set the bar high with the variety of beer types that they offer. After trying quite a few beers between the Herndon and Alexandria locations, I would highly recommend their popular Volcano Sauce sour and any IPA from their Starfish line. All of the beers seem to be very well balanced and our friends and family love that they offer half pours in addition to fulls so you can try quite a few without over doing it. The pizza and food here is also top notch. Last time we were in, we decided to try the white pizza, topped with whole milk mozzarella, provolone, garlic, ricotta and calabrian peppers. It was DELISH and we look forward to trying the pepperoni & hot honey next time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A bit of a Chuck E Cheese atmosphere, we really enjoyed the quick service and the great beers like always.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband wanted to come here specifically to do their bourbon flight but was surprised the one online didn't match the one he got. Fair pricing for it though and he enjoyed the generous pours. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We honestly felt out of place as one of the few groups who were there without kids. The place was swarming with children, kids birthdays, baby's running free. Not personally my type of atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking was very limited when we got here but I guess that's a busy Saturday for you. Food was good, we got the cheese curds and pretzel but they were out of quite a few other food items when we were here.

Solid 5 stars for Aslin Beer Company. They tick all the boxes when it comes to beer. They have great merchandise for sale and also roast and sell coffee under the Aslin name. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and will happily talk beer with you and answer any questions you may have. They will even let you sample everything if you want to. The atmosphere and vibe are great here. The place is huge and open. They have a bunch of tvs to watch sporting events and one giant screen with a projector as well. There is also an arcade and some table games. I wish I knew they served food before I visited because the menu looked fabulous and they cater to all dietary preferences.

Used to be pretty cool. Last year or so it's struggled. Finally had enough. Here's my review. Not serving my wife's favorite beer, fine we'll make it work. Arcade games for kids, cool! Thanks for the quarter dispenser. Got change for a $20?? Nope. Okay, I can roll like that and throw what's not used from these 80 quarters into my loose change cup. Wait, TMNT and pinball ate more coins than they registered when I put them in. We'll try the basketball game. Fries with their old school awesome fry sauce? Yes plz. Oh, no fry sauce. It's cool, we'll get the hit honey ranch for an extra $1.50. Fries show up...we're out of the hot honey ranch. Of course you are. Tha ks for pretty much nothing. We'll try again never. read more

I'm not a beer drinker. In fact, I've been living alcohol-free for seven years. But none of that stops me from enjoying beer gardens and breweries like this one. I love that it's family-friendly with an arcade to keep the kids occupied. The food is not just your usual bar food; the pizza is delicious (and this comes from a native New Yorker)! My husband and everyone else we bring here thoroughly enjoy the offering of beers. No matter how crowded and hectic it gets, the servers are always friendly, pleasant, and super helpful. read more

Great spot for a work social! We took over the loft area and had plenty of room. Menus are a QR code on the table straight to the bar and the bartenders bring everything up to you! They have Thursday night trivia, lots of participants, but difficult to hear the caller (not the fault of the brewery, the microphone was just bad). Food was decent, big enough portions to share most dishes! The pretzel and Daddy's Juice sour were both delicious. Plenty of free parking around the building! read more

Every time I come here, the food is just mediocre at best -- usually it's really bad. Honestly, it's so disappointing. And it's not just the food. You have to go to the bar to ask for water because the servers never offer it, and it's not even on the online menu. When you finally get it, it's warm with no ice. The Caesar salad with fried chicken I ordered was awful -- the chicken wasn't crunchy, had no flavor, and tasted like it came straight out of the freezer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Combine that with the fact that it's loud as hell inside, and the whole experience is miserable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At this point, I feel like the only reason to come here is if you're just looking for beer and maybe a lifeless, boring hamburger. Anything else is just not worth it. read more

Great pizza and beer but they are closing early with no notice on website and no one answered when we called. Bummer.

This place is great! It's got a great vibe and despite being crowded, the service was excellent! We got a seat at the bar and were promptly served our beers of choice, along with some nibbles. The Brussels sprouts were out of this world and it's hard to mess up waffle fries (which were delish). I had the bird leaf and "the fragile kind" which was delicious. My husband has the Esperante which was nice too. They offer a lot of pizza and burger options (vegan options available too). Great for a chill night out with friends, family dinner or date night. read more
