While driving through Warrenton, VA, I stopped by the downtown area which is really quaint and wholesome. I stopped by Altered Suds. The sign may be hard to see but once you walk down the stairs, you will find a lot of space to have a drink or play shuffle board. Some of the beers were a little fruity for me but the Zozobras Mexican lager was amazing. I didn't eat, but I know they have a good menu. The staff is very friendly. Recommend. read more

Molly's has come a long way since the 1st time I tried their food - which makes an EXCELLENT combo for this bar - Molly's has FINALLY stepped up their game to match Atleted Suds libes - Atleted Suds is a place to go - luv the service and the vibe read more

Altered Suds just opened this past week in Old Town Warrenton. They are located one floor beneath Molly's Irish Pub. There is a door off of Main Street that leads down into the brewery. There is also a side entrance on South 2nd Street - which currently does not have a brewery sign on it. My friend Andrew and I visited today early afternoon to sample their ales. We tasted all the brews in two separate flights: First Flight: Stuck in Half Life Kolsch (4.8% ABV) (3.25 stars on Untappd) The Legless Scouser ESB (6.2% ABV) (3 stars on Untappd) Sugar Magnolia Milk Stout (5.8% ABV) (4 stars on Untappd) Second Flight: Mr. Balloonhead Pale Ale (6.2% ABV) (5 stars on Untappd) Assemblage Point IPA (7.5% ABV) (4.25 stars on Untappd) Late to the Party Hazy IPA (7.2% ABV) (4.5 stars on Untappd) Honkey Red Red Ale (5.7% ABV) (5 stars on Untappd) As we began tasting - we met the Brew Master - Jay Bergantim - and had a lengthy and enjoyable conversation with him about his approach, philosophy to beer making, etc. In our opinion as craft beer geeks - as we were about to discover, he is very talented. I'm not typically a fan of Kolsch or ESB - but these were both interesting beers and well executed. The Milk Stout was also good. Things got really interesting when we got into the second flight - as we both really appreciate well designed and executed Pale Ales and IPAs. Everything in the second flight was just outstanding. I was blown away by how good the Mr. Balloonhead Pale Ale was, as well as the Honkey Red Red Ale. There is a ton of table seating inside, as well as some spaces at the bar. You can order food from a menu from Molly's Irish Pub, and the brewery will deliver the food to your table. Very comfy atmosphere. Love this new addition to the Northern Virginia craft brewing wars! We will be back! Check 'em out! #AlteredSuds read more

One of the best breweries around great people and atmosphere! Let's not leave out Kevin he gets the job done read more

After several years, I can still give this place 5 stars!!! Corey, Nik, Kevin and Jesse are amazing bartenders. Altered Suds has a very cool atmosphere. We love coming here to de-stress after a long day of work in DC. read more

Altered Suds is located in the space below Molly's Irish pub. In downtown Warrenton. It's an interesting spot with an old time tavern feel. They keep around 10-12 beers on tap with the majority being German styles or hazy IPAs. On this last visit I was hoping to find something sour but they were out, bummer. I've previously enjoyed their strawberry marshmallow sour, very tasty. I settled on one of the IPAs and then tried the English IPA. I also sampled the saison. And while I wasn't blown away by anything I had, I also can't say that anything was a miss. I'll continue to stop by in hopes of coming across some of their more interesting creations. read more

Nice brewery in downtown Warrenton. Basement location is cool. Good beers, I tasted several and got full pours of my favorites. Really cool little micro brewery. No food but you can get food delivered from the Irish pub upstairs. read more

Great little place! If you like Grateful Dead it's even better. Super chill spot that was great after a trip at the cabin. Ask for Kevin he will take good care of you. We will definitely be back. ~Rob & Ivy read more

All I can say is this place is incredible! The beer is excellent. The atmosphere is very cool. Friendly staff... You can't ask for more. I tried two of the IPA. Both were filled with hops and delicious. These guys really know how to brew. My wife had the scotch ale, which had a prefect balance of malt. This is some real good beer. I am actually surprised (and frankly pleased) to see that these guys have not become bigger. You walk away saying wow... that was really good. I am trying to do a new brewery in the DC area every week. I just happened to be going through on the way back from Shenandoah and found Altered Suds on my GPS. I never knew this place existed and have never heard of it before. Altered Suds is in the basement under an Irish pub. You would not know it is there unless you were looking. Two doors - one on the side street and the other is on the main street and down the stairs. My highest recommendation - if you are in the area and into good craft beer and a great small brewery that you will remember as a favorite, you must check this out. read more

A great start up in Warrenton, located under Molly's. These guys take their brewing seriously and make some great beer. The facility is great with plenty of various spaces where you can be part of the crowd or can slip off to a quiet corner for privacy and a quiet conversation. Definitely worth checking out read more

Friendly spot in a quaint strip. Im not much of a beer drinker, but they were great about letting me taste a few until I found something.

Awesome spot with a fun craft brew vibe directly under fun sports bar with good food. Variety of beers are great and after meeting the owners I was an even bigger fan. I'll be a regular here no doubt. read more

Altered Suds is a beer bar that exists in Warrenton underneath a hotel. If you are looking for it, you may just walk on buy because it sign is mixed in amongst several others. Open the door and proceed down a couple of flight of stairs and you will be present with the bar and a large seating area. The bar itself is rather small but centrally located. The choices are OK, but nothing that will knock yourself sock off. It is a pretty friendly pub. read more

It's nice to have options, and this gives another place to go for us here in Warrenton. It has a fun set of pinball machines, and there's usually at least a few beers that are pretty good. However, they totally are into IPA obsession at this place. read more

Brand new and already hitting it out of the ballpark. First up, I'm not the beer hound in the family I leave that up to my husband but I did find Stuck in Half Life - Kolsch Style Beer - tasty enough to have a few with our lunch. Limited food menu and the food comes from Molly's upstairs, but the pickles were super tasty and we split a Ruben and Fish and Chips. Next time in Warrenton VA make sure to check out this fun funky spot...and the music..some blues some blue grass and loads of soul. read more

What a gem. Love this place for a nice drink! Come prepared to try everything on tap because they are all AMAZING. Locally owned, friendly atmosphere. If you're in warrenton, this is a MUST. read more

I held a Welcome Party for out of town wedding guests at Altered Suds and we could not have had a better experience. With its beautiful natural wood bar, plenty of tables and the game room, it had the perfect ambience. Kevin and Nick were friendly and efficient behind the bar as well as keeping the flow of food and drinks going throughout the crowd. They allowed us to bring our own food in to supplement what we ordered from Molly's upstairs. Great place for a private party. And, the beer was enjoyed by all! read more

Best brewery around! Amazing beer, atmosphere, and service. All beers were exceptional! A+ Order food from upstairs or bring in your own! Good tunes, good people! read more

Such a fun little spot! The beer is amazing, music is chill and the atmosphere is awesome!

Three of us went there yesterday after hiking Old Rag. Beer and food was great, really enjoyed how friendly bartender and owner were.

Amazing beer and onion rings and a great owner! Shoutout to Corey! He's so friendly and nice and great beer recommendations!

Stopped by on our way back from hiking Shenandoah and got a beer and sat outside. They don't technically have food, but the Irish Pub above them gave us menus and we were able to order. Looking forward to returning post-covid to enjoy the inside. read more

I had the pleasure of attending this fine establishment over the weekend and I can't say enough great things about it. The venue is very inviting, very friendly staff, just an overall pleasant experience. Oh and I can't forget the beer, great quality and excellent flavor. Personal favorite, Late to The Party also loved the subtle notes of tea in Stuck in Half Life. Can't wait to try Mr. Ballonhead, had to save something for my next visit. read more

Took a walk through Warrenton and happened upon this business. The beer was good and service friendly. Can't ask for more.
