I appreciate the theme, but that's all they have going for them. Freedom isn't free IPA tasted like they used belgian yeast and was more malty than hoppy. Are they using belgian yeast here? But the can says "American IPA". I couldn't even finish the pint they poured me. So I bought a 6-pack to give the cans a try because sometimes there is a difference between cans and draught. The cans I bought were over-carbonated and a quarter of the beer fizzed out into my sink. Something is off. this isn't an IPA its a malty belgian pale ale. I came here because of the other yelp reviews and afterward think they are misleading. It may be a fun place to hang out, but not because of the beer. They have more work to do. I agree with an earlier review that was spot on - there is a high amount of fusel alcohols and unwarranted esters. Their beer is not palatable. I can't finish a single one of their beers. Drain pour. read more

I went to the grand opening with my girlfriend for New Years Eve. The revolution has definitely begun! The beer is GREAT! We really liked the Revolution, Batch 2, and the Bradford but enjoyed the rest as well, had a pint of each one. They had a food truck, DC Slice, and after 4 hours of drinking really hit the spot. The live music was good and there was enough space to not be nutt to butt. The bathroom was clean, which my girlfriend really appreciated. This is a great brewery with some amazing brews. I look forward to going back and seeing what they have in store for 2014. Go check it out! read more

Man friend had discovered Heritage Brewing Company through it's kickstarter campaign. About 90% of the kickstarter projects he supports are backing craft breweries and Heritage was one that we had waited anxiously for their opening and took a trip out to Manassas to check them out, taste some beer and get a growler fill this past Sunday afternoon. Located in an industrial strip, there is plenty of parking. Walking in, Heritage has a sleek industrial look, is clean and has a laidback atmosphere; quite nice for a beer place. We walked in, grabbed a stool at the bar and met with owners Sean and Ryan on duty. We got a flight of beers on tap to taste before ordering pints and getting our growler fill on. W e tasted: Teddy Pale Ale, Revolution (an amber ale made with orange), Ironsides, Sovereign Stout, Kings Mountain, Bradford (Last of their fall seasonal beer made in Catocin creek barrels, with notes of pumpkin and cinnamon. We had our growler filled with this.), Experimental Mystery Batch #10- Guess correctly and you get a free pint! (I'm not telling), Experimental Batch #9 Big Baby Ale, I enjoyed and had a glass of this. A lot of the beers we tasted also had high IBUs so if you are a hop head, you definitely need to check these beers out! They also tap a new keg of their experimental beers every week so it's definitely an incentive to return and try more beer. Some things to know about Heritage Brewing Co.: Having served, Heritage is a big supporter of our troops. One of the partners is active duty overseas right now (salute!). Name of beers reflect a great sense of patriotism 'Murrica! Heritage beer is made with fresh lake water, All American beer ingredients. Heritage beer also has the highest alcohol percentage for a beer along the atlantic coast (ie. Heads up for a 22% beer coming in!). 1% of pint proceeds goes to charity so you can drink for a good cause. You can BYOF (bring your own food). Having just opened, they already got some of their beers on taps along the atlantic coast and discussed with us their plans to expand start bottling/canning their beer. Well done Heritage! Plus: They are avid supporters of the micro-brewery across the street and have a mutual relationship where they often refer customers back and forth. We wouldn't have known about this since we are not from the area but it was definitely impressive and endearing to hear their encouragement and gave us another excuse to drink more beer! We hope to be back. read more

My first and perhaps my only yelp review all because after going to many a brewery... Flying Dog Dogfish Head Heavy Seas Lost Rhino Adroit Theory ... to name a few I had to put in a review for Heritage because I had that great an experience there! I'll say I'm not rating them a 5/5 based on beer even though I love their beer and I would rate it a 5/5 (only place I've bought a large quantity from and will go back for more) What I am rating them 5/5 on is customer service! I was there Saturday night late and I have to say they were awesome and by far they were the best out of any brewery, any food service, I've been too. Chris and Megan were down right amazing, both with knowledge of their product and beer in general, but also in their true personable nature, they clearly love what they do even after a long day of working and that is something that is rare indeed! If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by, hell I recommend driving there in the area or not because you won't just find high quality kick ass beer, you'll also find the best service out of anywhere period Can't wait to go back!! 10/5! read more

A good brewery with an interesting assortment of rotating products! I've enjoyed both my visits here! Some of the beers have been hit or miss for me but overall I've always enjoyed. The staff and ownership has always been very pleasant and sociable. Will be coming back! read more

Finally paid my hubby back for all the wine tastings! I actually had a great time and enjoyed the brews! Single ladies must add this spot to their kickoff of a night out! Full of men and great beer...Sounds good huh? Heritage Brewing is a great addition to the area and we will definitely be back. The appearance is nice and it looks like everything was man-made. Definitely looks cool and you can feel the testosterone in the air! The owner and staff were great and friendly. Their logo is military inspired and they are prior service. A military discount is offered! Lots of great brews with very different flavors and some are unique. I love their special brew bradford. Every Saturday they tap a new experimental batch! Sounds like we might have to go almost weekly! LOL So go and try a pint or two. You will not be disappointed! read more

I've been here twice and can't wait to go back. The Freedom Isn't Free and the Battle of the White Marsh are excellent! read more

Update: lower prices: Sometime last year, Heritage lowered the price of flagship pints in the taproom from $7 to $5. They also started selling 6 packs of cans (Freedom or King's Mountain) to take home for $8, including tax. I guarantee you will not find a better IPA or Scotch Ale retail for $8 or less. When the taproom is open, it is my favorite place to drink in Manassas. read more

I went here yesterday evening to sample the beer and purchase a growler to go. I found out about this brewing company through Instagram and made the drive to Manassas to check them out. I would consider myself a beer connoisseur and I know what I like. My server was Julian, one of the owners, and I sampled two beers and purchased a growler of the Kings Mountain. The brew has good carbonation, is easy to drink, and has a fresh tasting finish. I appreciate supporting local businesses and direct interactions with other business owners. What's not to like about good locally brewed beer? read more

Great beers! Great design and artwork! Very nice guys! The special batches are really unique...come out every Saturday and only one keg is made of each batch. Growler refills are only up-charged when the growler is of larger volume than the typical 64 ounce size. They will charge you an additional $2, which seems legit to me. Will definitely return. We have been waiting for a solid brewery to open around this area! Cheers! :) read more

Heritage Brewing - We shared a flight of all 8 beers they have on tap today. - Breweries Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Came here on a Sunday with my boyfriend. We got there right as they were opening. Not sure who I spoke with, but he was completely helpful, as we had never been here before. My boyfriend had 10oz of the current Experimental Batch which was a smoked ale. I am not a fan of smoked flavor but he loved it. He also had a pint of the Sovereign State, a dry coffee stout. I'm an IPA fan so I had a pint of The Teddy. LOVED it. Then we decided to get a flight. The four beers we chose were: Ironsides, Revolution, the Battle of White Marsh and King's Mountain, a Scot-American ale. He loved King's Mountain so much he got a growler. The growlers are $5 to buy and $12 to fill, which is reasonably priced considering other local breweries. I really loved all the beers I tried. They all had great flavor and a great finish. Other cool facts about this place: veteran-owned, $1 of all pints go towards charity, and 92% of all ingredients are either organic or locally-grown. Not to mention their music selection was on point. Definitely will be coming back. read more

5 stars for the rotisserie chicken and sides, which are excellent! I'll be back for more chicken. 2 stars for the beer brewed in-house. Hazy ipa is quite good, double ipa is ok, the rest (session hazy ipa, amber, honey ginger wheat, session ipa) were not very good. I hope they improve their beer. read more

Fantastic teddy pale ale that was hazy deliciousness. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasant conversationalist. The location was a little off putting as it reminded me of several nova breweries in semi-abandoned industrial/office buildings. However, beer and ambience made the "beer-tour" (e.g. detour for hoppy beverage) a fun find! Will definitely return. read more

Thanx for being open for 86expo on a Sunday at 12:30 in the afternoon! By the way... beer is great with a fresh taste. read more

Owner is Terrific and some great craft beers. Also does a lot of work for veterans and the militarily which is commended. Recommend checking out the brewery in the evening for some great beer education. read more

Fantastic selection of beers including some great barrel beers. Staff is always friend and willing to tell you about their selection. You can go in and sit at the bar or purchase beer to bring home. They have at least one arcade game there and trash can pong should you get bored. No food service but they do sell chips. read more

These guys are top notch. There is so much care and thought put into the beers. The craftsmanship clearly shows. We enjoyed their beer at Northside 29, and the Bradford was my favorite. The owner is super nice and willing to explain anything about their beer. Love this brewery and wish them much success in the future! read more

Checked out this brewery today with some friends. I tried one of their pick your own flights, all the beers were good. My favorite had to be their Honey Ginger beer. Definitely a great place to stop in and have a few cold ones! read more

Went this past weekend, very nice looking location. The beer selection was vast allowing for possibility of finding new favorite. The on site beer aficionados were knowledgable, & friendly. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday with my dad for a tour. We received a warm welcome and the tour was very good. The facility is clean and in great shape, with the right amount of classic materials and modern design. The beer flight was good, served fresh and cold. The Kings Mountain was delicious with a complex taste and smooth finish. The Teddy was also good, and the Revolution was my dad's favorite. I will definitely return for more! read more

Beer was fine but tender and at least one patron not drinking beer were wearing masks on their chins and not covering their mouth or nose at all. Ridiculous that they don't take peoples health seriously read more

I don't post many reviews on the breweries, wineries, restaurants, etc. that I've been too, but I felt compelled to do so for Heritage. Way too many "educated" people giving garbage reviews. The beers are just fine and beer than most in the area. White Marsh is one of the best beers I have had in the DMV ever. Hands down the best. I've been to Heritage many times and will continue to go back. Sean and his staff are very knowledgeable of their beers and the brewing process in generally. Very friendly and helpful. I love the ambiance of the place - this is the type of place I enjoy drinking a beer. I can be myself here. read more

I have to update based on a visit over the weekend. The place was not overly crowded but crowded enough to give a good vibe. The BBQ food truck outside was a nice addition and the weather was perfect for leaving the garage door up to get fresh air and allow easy access to food truck. Still one of the nicest tasting room bars I have seen. I love the concrete bar top and barn wood down below. I still believe their flagship brews are very underwhelming but again their special releases and firkins are worth a visit. I had their experimental release that was tapped on Saturday. I believe #434 (could be off on the number). It was my first barley wine but it may be my new favorite brew. I spoke to Keenan behind the bar and he told me it is an American style barley wine which means more hops than the english style. Keenan was kind enough to write down names of other barley wines that he was familiar with and told me where to find them. We did our own Manassas brewery tour on Saturday and Heritage had the best atmosphere and had the best beer of the day on this day. read more

Great atmosphere. Great tasting beers! Pints are $7 apiece. If you're looking for cheap happy hour brews, this is not the place. It's a tasting brewery/room. I enjoyed it immensely! read more

Heritage Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

First off, I like to support businesses started by veterans. I also like how they use 100% domestic grains in their product and support American farmers, not farmers in England or Germany. No real complaints about the taste, some of the beers were cloudy--especially the Scottish Ale which should be crystal clear. Pleasant enough place. Would like there to be a "watchable" TV. There was a some kind of projection device shooting a picture on a wall, but it was washed out by the sunshine. It would be nice to have stayed long enough to watch the Belmont Stakes, but we left early because the TV was so bad, actually non-existent. Lastly, the staff, while polite and energetic, didn't know much about the ales. They didn't know what the IPA was hopped with or if peeted malt was in the Scotch Ale. Very much worth visiting and having pints or buying beer to take home. 5 stars I reserve for truly extraordinary breweries that have almost no flaws, 4 stars for excellent. But these beers did have some visual flaws. read more

The flight was overpriced and a terrible way to experience the different kinds of beer they have. The sample glasses are far too small to get a well rounded gulp and really taste the beer. Most of the beers we tried were far too bitter or watery for my taste. I think its best to just buy a six pack, drink a couple, take the rest home, save your money and head to total wine for a greater selection. read more

Heritage Brewing - Flight, pick 4 beers - Breweries Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Came here with the bf on Friday--very chill and homey place that could work as both a casual date place or just a relaxing place to go with the bros/gals. They open the large garage style door when the weather is nice so it feels like you are outside. I consider myself a wee bit of a beer nerd and my fave was the Battle of White Marsh Belgian Ale. They had some beers fermenting in both Chardonnay and whiskey barrels..I cannot wait to try those! The owners really care about the ingredients that go into the beers. Just an FYI if you have to eat food while getting your beer on, come on Saturdays when then food trucks are there. Even though I live an hour away, this is one worth returning to. read more

I love stopping in here on Sundays (extra plus is I can bring my dog and he equally loves it here!). The staff is super friendly and I like that it is not crazy packed like other breweries. I enjoy getting to chat with the people behind the bar and learn more about the beers/brewery. They have really great nitro coffee as well that I enjoy as much as the beer! Aside from all of that it's a veteran owned business, which always goes to the top of my list of companies to support! read more

I hate this place. It consumes me with an all-consuming hatred. Specifically, I hate how far away it is from my house, because DAMN I would be here constantly if it weren't over an hour away. (I live in DC, so Manassas is a bit of a schlep for a drink.) I took a friend for his birthday on a Friday evening, and it was packed with friendly, jovial Southerners enjoying an end-of-week pint. The service was a wee bit slow, but this is probably because the bartenders were focused on chatting up customers and explaining the details of every individual brew. They had all the flagships in stock, plus a selection of seasonal and experimental batches. There's something for every taste: from the complex, caramelized Trappist-like King's Mountain Ale to the searingly hoppy Teddy IPA to the sweet, aromatic Bradford Pumpkin Ale, no palate goes unpleased. On weekends, they give tours to explain all their processes, so you can get into the beer nerdery element of it if you like. The hours could be *slightly* more convenient for that, but they're new enough that they probably don't have the business required to be open full-time 7 days a week. Maybe some day. Their mission is commendable: sustainable business practices, local sourcing, organic ingredients, veteran-supportive staff, donation to worthy causes with every pint purchased. All that AND without the attitude problem of a hipster-styled Portland nanobrewery. No pretensions here, just friendly folk and honest brewing. The high quality and small batches come at a price, with pints clocking in at $6 a pop, although for DC that's still reasonable. If you want cheap tasteless beer, stop wasting a valuable seat at Heritage and go buy a rack of PBR at a gas station. Seriously, no one wants you here. Flights are $5, although if you ask nicely enough they'll often give you a sip or partial flight shot refill for free if you need to make a decision between two. They also fill growlers and sell 6-packs, if that's your thing. Souvenir odds n' ends like pint glasses, t-shirts, and bumper stickers aren't terribly priced, either. Verdict: Go! Seriously, it's worth the trip. Set aside a few hours on a weekend for a full tour and tasting. If you like beer, you'll probably like Heritage. The location is a little weird (back lot of a business plaza), but if you have Google Maps, you should be able to find it. read more

Husband and I dropped in to try a flight of their which included two seasonal brews when my husband and I dropped in for flights. Their IPA Freedom ain't free is pretty good and when we asked what style IPA it was the two men at the bar didn't know which wasn't a big deal but would've been nice to know. They also have beer cocktails and my husband had two pints of the Arnold palmer which was a mix of two of their beers. We ended up staying for trivia. The place was a good size to host big groups. read more

Took the tour with the manager and it was a great experience. It helped we had similar tastes in beer (malt over hops) and even though I am not really a fan IPA's at his suggestion we tried the double IPA and it was quite excellent. The flight that came with the tour was quite good and the experimental selections were tasty. However by far for me the highlight was the exceptional scotch ale they had, best I've had the pleasure of drinking. It's a shame we don't live closer. Also they do their own cold brew coffee, packs a good punch. Still, can't say enough good things about the scotch ale. read more

One of the best breweries I've been to. Great service and consistently good beer. The barrel aged Kings Mountain was epic. Every time I go back to the Virginia area I make sure to pick up some of their beers, if not make a trip to the brewery itself, even though it's out of the way, they are just that good! read more

The atmosphere is awesome.. The beer excellent... And the people work there are great ... Easy to get too and plenty of parking ..

Sorry. I really wanted this place to be good. It is very nice looking. But that is it. It took us 25 min to get our flight of beer. There is not one I would drink again. The beers have no finish :( I give the beer one star and the ambiance 3-4 stars. Also overpriced. read more

Worth the trip to find them in an industrial park. Really like the tap room and assistant brewer Chris does a fanatic job of describing and explaining the various beers. Favorites are either the oak aged or the nitro King Mountain scotch ales. Bone BBQ makes deliveries in the evening on the weekend so that satisfy the munchies. Overall, a good spot to enjoy craft beers. Somethings to get it into the 5-star rating by offering the following: 1) Vanilla stout (No coffee stouts) 2) Wi-Fi (no brainer) 3) TVs with cable (something other than ESPN Sports would be nice) 4) An Eva look-a-like contest (complete with broken ankle) 5) Cage dancers (draws in crowds during the low periods) 6) Vanilla stout (see #1) read more

Meh. The beer was okay and the location was nice and spacious. The bartender who served us was great. I didn't love any part of the experience and wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. I do admire what they are doing and seeing that they give back, unfortunately, it just doesn't make the cut. read more

Really cool spot with good beers. I was blown away by the ambiance and will be back for sure. I just wish they were open more than the weekends. read more

They come out with new beer monthly. Best so far, I would say, is the bacon beer. Their doors are always open when our shop hosts car shows so our customers appreciate that. read more

I definitely enjoy hoisting a pint at Heritage. Good porters and stouts, plus some really good Scotch Ales. Nice, quiet atmosphere. Julian the bartender and co-owner has always been happy to talk about their brewing process and limited edition brews. Nice place, nice people. read more

Bought 2 of their Special Release Grand Cru bottles. Their bartender recommended it and the label sounded interesting so I figured I would give it a shot as I was going to a bottle share later that night. What a joke of a beer! It was stale, flat, and tasted absolutely awful. Don't waste your money like I did on $30/bottle for a total of $60. The bottles would probably have trouble selling if they were only $1/bottle. At least I have the satisfaction of everyone at the bottle share agreeing it was terrible and a ripoff. read more
