Great place to have a beer with plenty of seating. The beer was good and there was plenty of options and different things to taste and enjoy. I would say if you are visiting breweries stop by and have a pint it will be worth it. The staff was very polite and helpful.

A lively place to go to taste their beers and hang out with friends. The beer flights are a cheap and easy way to try the menu. Food is available in food trucks outside. Do note that if you want to tour the brewery, you have to show up right on time. We missed it and will have to go back.

Visited from out of state and it was an amazing experience! Highly recommend the tour on weekends as you learn a lot about the history of the brewery and how their operations work. All workers there provided excellent customer service and my tour guide was great! Definitely will visit again when I'm in town as Port City provides excellent quality beer at a great price for consumers (especially in 4 and 6 packs to go)!

I stopped by on a Friday afternoon just to check this place out and have a beer. It was relatively empty so the staff were attentive. I chose a Hoppy Brown which was satisfying and tasted just like the name. I had a little taste of their Hazy IPA and that was enough to get me to buy a four pack to go. Small tasting room that is fairly plain. I didn’t check out the rest of the inside. Apparently there are more seating areas. It was definitely low key as others have described it. Plenty of outdoor seating with nice lighting. Parking was easy right next to the door as well as a parking lot across the street. Their beers are all solid so I don’t think that you can miss. It’s definitely worth a visit!

Nice large brewery with many different drinking areas, including a large outdoor beer garden. Beers are all solid, with a handful of seasonal offerings. No wine or seltzer options for anyone not drinking. Food offerings are minimal as well (cheese and charcuterie), unless there is a food truck. We came during peak Omicron, so we appreciated the contactless ordering from the QR codes posted on the outside picnic tables. If you are visiting Alexandria, definitely worth a stop- especially on a nice day.

After leaving Harrisonburg VA this afternoon, my work travels took me to Arlington/Alexandria VA. The closest Brewery to me was Port City. I checked out the Beer List and decided this sounded like my kind of place. They specialize in Lagers of all styles. Each one was unique, distinctive, and delicious. Once again I found myself at a loss of which was my favorite. They do flights of 6 at a time and provide you with tickets which you turn in for each sample. I tried 2 at a time, which made it easy to pair up my sample. I started with the Downright Pilsner and Pizza Night Lager. Then I moved on to the Mexican Dark Lager and the Schwarzbier Black Lager. Finally ended with the Helles Lager and the Oktoberfest. They gave me a freebie of the Porter. In all honesty, I could not choose one as my favorite as I felt all of them offered something I enjoy in my craft beer. If you've not checked them out, please do so. You won't be disappointed. Especially if you like Lagers!

Love the beer, love the atmosphere, and love how dog friendly they are (both indoors and outdoors)! They also have food trucks on some nights, and other nights you can order pizza or bring food if you want.
