Always a great selection on tap and great vibes in the brewery. Staff are knowledgeable and always have great recommendations. Always seeing a diverse group of people - dog-lovers, birthday parties, reunions, friends, and just small families, and couples. read more

First of all, let me start by saying that I really love the concept of this place. They have my favorite beer in the whole world, Vixen Irish ale. it has plenty of rooms with good vibes, the music selection, and the idea of food trucks. But, the food was expensive and not great quality for the money spent. I love the band One Hot Mess but The families with young children running around and screaming totally ruined the experience. Back in my day, yes I am older, We hired sitters and enjoyed adult nights out. Why are there so many young people out with children in bars and brewerie? I just don't get it and it deters me from relaxing. read more

4/5 multiple visits, 2019 to present. We don't get out here all the time but we've enjoyed it every time we do. They offer a pretty good variety of beers that are all fairly good, not the best out of the there but certainly above average. We've enjoyed everything from seltzers to sours, to IPAs and stouts. They have a good size tasting room that is usually sufficient to cover the crowds that tend to gather. The bar staff do a good job of working through the lines that can build up with good speed. Would definitely recommend stopping by. read more

This is one of the larger breweries in Northern Virginia and in my opinion also one of the best. They offer a wide variety of beers from IPAs to Stouts and everything in between and the quality is second to none. You can also order food from the local pizza place to be delivered to your table and they frequently have food trucks and live music. You stand in line and order your beers before finding a table, no table service. We were there for Fathers Day, so the lines were a little long, but they kept things moving along. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and a lot of the outdoor seating is covered so it's still usable on a hot or rainy day. This time around we all chose beer flights so we could sample some new brews. Yes, they have flights! I chose 4 stouts, of which the cinnamon churro and caramel macchiato were my favorites. Plenty of parking in a private lot and easy access round out the positives. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Let me start by saying how much I love this place. The beertenders are so nice and their beers are amazing! My only issue is there are zero garbage cans anywhere inside the tasting area. There's no napkins. No plastic utensils. They serve food but why can't I get these things or throw anything away?? read more

Their beer food and atmosphere are great!! This place is perfect for families. The Jackleg pizza orders next door are legit. We love the Detroit style crust! They recently added a crudite appetizer; perfect for munching on while you wait for the pizza. We also love the pretzel bites, they came out fast! You can order via QR code or at the bar. Love it read more

Stopped by while visiting the tulip picking. Sadly it wasn't our favorite brewery. The service was very nice and I have no complaints about the ambiance but the beers tasted altered down and like the flavor they were named after were barely present in the beer Would not come again read more

Great seating and ample space indoors and out. Food trucks are delicious and many different beers to select from. Service is fast and they are particularly patient when you are trying to select a beer with helpful suggestions. The nearby museum is also worth a visit. We are at the German themed food truck and we're very happy about the portions and taste! read more

Best beers in the area. The staff is super friendly even when they are slammed. They opened up a smaller taphouse in the grassy area across from the main entrance and they have a ton of extra seating. I can't wait for the cool weather to hit! In addition they have bar snacks (pretzels, popcorn, etc) and on the weekends there is usually a food truck out the back. Live music is usually happening Saturday and Sunday afternoons along with the occasional special events like car shows and goat yoga. They are very dog friendly (dogs welcome outside on the patio and grass or out back in the bay). And did I mention they are running in 100% green energy? Excellent place to bring your friends be they of the two or four legged variety. read more

I am a sour beer fan. Old Bust Head satisfied my sour beer nerd. This place has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We brought two kids and a dog. We sat at the outdoor table. We got the food from Cafe At Farm Station. The beer that I enjoyed: Orange Dreamsicle Imperial Sour Pineapple & Papaya This is a great to place for everyone who does not even drink to hang around read more

Great venue for drink beer and hanging out. On the weekends, they often have entertainment and a food truck. This Friday, there was a musician, axe throwing, and seafood. the selection of beers is great. There is something for everyone, including dark beers, IPAs, sours, and others. The root beer is outstanding and is available in a float. Other than the food truck, there is no food served here. there are two small restaurants nearby, but they close pretty early. otherwise, there is no food available. you can bring your own from offsite. Service at the bar is good and they offer a military discount Highly recommended. read more

My go to when I want to get out and about with my dogs! Excellent selection of beer, super cool staff, they just expanded their food options, to include Pizza's, Food Trucks, Covert Cafe, or bring your own food. Dogs are welcomed to stand in line with you inside while you are ordering. Dogs can sit with you on the front patio, expanded seating areas, or outback. They generally have events that are fun, music, car shows, dog adoption events and more. It a great place to hang out with your dog(s), enjoy a cold beverage and meet good people! read more

BLUF: Huge array of offerings beverage-wise, cool vibe, clean, lots of space, food truck, non-alcoholic beverage options, too. It's a place you should try at least once. Great venue just to hang out with friends. While I enjoyed the venue with friends, the non-alcoholic beverages were just ok. Nothing that made my taste buds sing and really expensive for what you get. Especially the mocktails. $7 for mildly flavored seltzer water is steep. The root beer float was ordinary and so not worth the dinky half scoop of ice cream. So, basically, $7 for a mug 3/4 full of root beer. My friends enjoyed their alcohol infused choices, but none of them looked all that excited nor raved about any of what they drank. Still, it's a nice place to hang for awhile, maybe watch a football game, and chow on whatever food truck grub is there. read more

Popped into Old Bust after hiking near Skyline Drive. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating - both well socially distanced. It is the perfect spot to spend a weekend afternoon. My husband got the Goldvein which I preferred slightly over the Shorthorn but both were good. My dad got the Caramel Macchiato Stout which he enjoyed, too. They offer small pours, so next time I think we'll do a DIY flight because they have tons of choices. Bonus was the Red Dog BBQ food truck out back! read more

Good beer. High prices. Most pints $9+. Can't afford to go back until they lower the price.

Not just for beer lovers but seltzers too! Checked this place out because it was right across the street from the Viny Hill winery which I was meh about. This place made up for the trip! Great outdoor patio as well as spacious brewery inside. read more

After wine tasting at a winery nearby, we decided to stop here to try beer and seltzer. The space is pretty big and has plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. They have covid restrictions in place and enforced pretty well. There is a large bar with a vast array of options. My husband did a flight and selected IPAs. Our friends ordered seltzers and sours. I ordered a cold brew and was not impressed....it tasted like water. My husband was also not impressed with the IPAs and said it didn't seem to match what was described. When I went back to the bar to close my tab, I told the gentleman that the cold brew was not to my liking and didn't taste like a cold brew. He said he liked it and drinks it all the time, which at that point I just asked him to remove it from my bill. Overall, the facility is nice and I liked the lay out. The outdoor seating looked nice and had a lot of space. There was also a food truck, which is a great option. I gave 3 stars because its a nice location with options, but I didn't like their beer or seltzer. read more

Love my Caramel Macciatto!!! Try to come out to taste the new releases, but always go back to my old time fave. Also, really like the atmosphere here. You can catch live music or just come and relax on off music days. Either way, this place is awesome - great beer and fun atmosphere. read more

Outstanding craft brewery located at the old Vintage Hill Farms Army base. Extensive selection of beers (and seltzers?) on draft at any given time. Friendly, courteous and knowledgeable staff at the bar. Friendly. Courteous. Knowledgeable. All novelties in Faquier County. Old Bust Head makes my favorite local beers, and the visit to the shop did not disappoint. If you have to do something in Fauquier County, I feel sorry for you. But do yourself a favor, and end your day here. Treat yourself right. read more

I seriously can't believe I waited so long to review this place. I've visited once or twice before and remember generally liking the beers, but this time I loved my samples (and it helped they were on a stout-kick, and had only a handful of IPAs). The facility is very spacious; lots of long wooden tables lined the room and a space for a band was reserved to the side. They also have what seems to be a constant stream of food trucks, which were uniformly excellent across all my visits. All this makes them very busy, so be prepared for crowds. I forget what their production capacity is but from the numerous tanks in the back, it must be one of the larger brewery operations I've seen in NOVA. Most importantly of course, the beer was above par (if a little pricier than other breweries). Luckily for me they had a number of new releases, most of which were derivatives of their Imperial Stout. But I also saw a pilsner, red ale, saison, and others that I would have loved to have tried, if it wasn't so late in the day. So diversity in beer styles - check. What I tried: Coconut Stout: A favorite! I hardly ever see these, and this was actually the main reason for my visit. Sweet stouts; that's where it's at. I filled up my growler with this. Chilichocolate Stout: Not as spicy as I would have expected but pretty good. If Old Bust Head is reading my review, please make a spicy Mexican Stout! Caramel Macchiato Stout: Pretty good. I got a little of the coffee notes. Maybe not a retry but I'm glad I ordered it. Oatmeal Stout: After my previous samples, this didn't stand out. Maybe my taste buds were overwhelmed by everything else? Not ordered was the 'standard' Imperial Stout and a Sumatra Stout. My goodness! Stouts-a-hoy! Other breweries please take note. read more

Vixen: darker, malty, slight caramel notes Summer cherry: perfect fruity witbier for a hot, humid August day. Plenty of seating indoors, socially distant friendly. LOTS of kids around though. Typical for a Saturday brewery visit around NoVa. read more

Old Bust Head recently opened an addition to the Brewery - an official tasting room! They've done a really good job with this. There is a quite a bit of seating, a stage area for bands, an area off to the left of the bar where non-alcolhol products are available for sale, clean restrooms, and an exit out the back for folks taking a tour of the brewing facility. There is a bunch of seating outside - this is where the food trucks park so that one can have something to eat. Old Bust Head does not serve their own food. I've been in twice since the new tasting room opened. Once on a Sunday afternoon to meet a friend and his Dad who was visiting; and again for the Friday night Halloween costume party! Finally, they have a lot more brews to choose from since the initial three they offered in the early days. And so they are also now offering tasting flights. They now offer on tap: Old Jail Pumpkin Ale Virginia Hop Harvest Smoked IPA Gold Cup Russian Imperial Stout Shorthorn American Pale Ale Vixen Irish Red Chinquapin Chestnut Porter Old Bust Head Root Beer You can choose from either specific flights of brews - or build your own. I chose to build my own. I selected for my flight of four: Old Jail Pumpkin Ale, the Virginia Hop Harvest Smoked IPA, the Shorthorn American Pale Ale, and the Vixen Irish Red. I enjoyed all four, but I really liked the Virginia Hop Harvest Smoked IPA and the Shorthorn American Pale Ale the most! I like the Virginia Hop Harvest Smoked IPA better than their Wildcat IPA - and I like the Shorthorn American Pale Ale a lot more than their English Pale Ale. After tasting the flight - I went back for a 16 oz. pint of the Virginia Hop Harvest Smoked IPA. The night of the Halloween party - I drank the Shorthorn American Pale Ale all evening. Great place to come and sample brews! read more

Great new(ish) addition to Virginia's brew scene. The building is huge and open, but doesn't feel too industrial. It is very inviting. The large main room is broken up by a massive tasting bar, family style picnic tables and wooden benches, a stage for live music, and a private events room. Then outside on the front porch is more intimate tables and out back there are more long benches. They also offer a variety of items for sale, including shirts with the best advertisement for Fauquier County I have ever seen (see pic for reference). At the tasting bar you can select your own flight of 4 or chose their standard, I did the later and the only beer I tried that didn't like was the Chukker Czech Pilsner. All the rest in my flights were good, with my favorite was the Chinquapin Chestnut Porter. My hubs created his own and let me try a couple I didn't get and I have to say the Goldcup Russian Imperial Stout was the big stand out for me: yum! I wasn't feeling super beer-y yesterday so I was excited to see they also have their own root beer. OH MY GOODNESS it's fantastic! I'm a picky root beer drinker and this is one of the best I have ever had. So good! Overall we had a good time, the AC wasn't on, or wasn't working. or something for part of our visit, so that made it a little uncomfortable; for a while there it was more hot and humid inside vs out. Three other things I noticed that I feel bear mentioning: 1. It is LOUD in the tasting room. I was actually glad there wasn't a band playing, I can't even imagine what that would do to the acoustics. 2. The brewery is kid friendly, and as such there were also a LOT of children there yesterday. I'd say a good 60% of the clientelle were there with their families. 3. They do not serve food in the brewery proper, but they do bring in caterers and food trucks. read more

We love Old Bust Head Brewing at 7134 Lineweaver Rd, Warrenton, Virginia. Such an awesome mix of brews they make here from Seasonals, to Darks, to Ales, and Reds.  Everything we've tasted at Old Bust Head we truly enjoy. The environment too is a lot of fun.  A family style brewery with occasional live music, usually always a big screen playing the game of the day, and then there's the awesome partnership they have with local food trucks (who are usually always parked out back serving delicious food). If you haven't been to Old Bust Head Brewing at 7134 Lineweaver Rd, Warrenton, Virginia you're certainly missing out.  Check them out! read more

The brews are excellent. We tried a wide selection and all were really good. We have a brewer in our group and he was impressed with the quality of the brews, as were all of us. I knocked off a star because of the food truck, it was bad, really bad. The name of the food truck is Two Southern Belles, I'm not sure why the brewery allows such bad food to be served there. The service was poor and extremely slow and the food was sub par and expensive. If you ever see the food truck run don't just walk away, it's that bad. Nothing we tried was good, unless you like greasy, cold, extremely salty and expensive with poor service and long wait times. I know it's a food truck but its the worst one I've ever been to. I would rather a day old hot dog from 7-11. Seriously In the future I will go hungry than waste money on something from "Two Southern Belles". read more

Second visit to Old Bust Head and it exceeded expectations. Was concerned that the anniversary celebration would mean throngs of people, but the Saturday crowd was just right... lots of people yet tables available. Hubby started with a tasting flight of stouts, while I went for the fruit and honey beers. The tastings led us to two subsequent pints of the Baltic Porter, a Blackberry Cobbler, and Plum & Honey. Delish! Super friendly staff and patrons, beer line moves quickly, abandoned tables are cleaned almost immediately. Two thumbs up! read more

Fantastic experience at this local brewery. Tried the mango ale which was lovely. They have lots of indoor seating and a smaller patio area out front and out back - this is where the food truck is. Friendly staff and great selection of craft beers and fresh kombucha. Will have to try that next time. Great atmosphere to chill with friends or family; inviting and cozy. Also love the surrounding shops - you have an opportunity to support some of the other local businesses and farmers. read more
