Lake Anne Brew House - Reston, Virginia

Little quaint brewery located at Lake Anne waterfront. When I approached the place, my first impression was that it was located in somebody's basement. But opening the door, I was pleasantly surprised with clean and neat brewery and friendly greeting by the staff at the counter behind, which had about 10 taps all brewed in-store. The weather was a dampener. Otherwise, we could have sat on the deck by the river, sipping the drinks. Beer selection ranges from lighter to IPA to dark ones. They have cider, shandy, and Kombucha options, too. Food options are limited to nice, warm pretzels and some packaged snacks, which is expected in a small local brewery like this. The good news is they have a great neighbors serving good food like Lake Anne Coffee House and Kalypso. You can get the food ordered from there or bring your own food.

What a cozy brewery, tucked into the Village of Lake Anne this place is definitely worthy of visiting. The beer was clean and well done and, as a nice change, just simpler styles done right. The heater and fire on the patio were nice to see since sitting outdoors nowadays is a safer bet than indoors.

The staff were friendly and the pretzels (Nordic Knot) were great. My only gripe would be that the take home options were very limited which means I can't take such good beer to go.

Realised that it is open between Thursday to Sunday - so will be back to the brew house soon!!
However, walk around the lake was wonderful. Calm waters and so much activities happening around it! Perfect weekend place for sure - must be lit up then! Further review when I am back to the brew house 😍🍻
Yes we did! They served us the tasters and we chose few IPAs. The beer is good and we had a good time 🍻

Lake Anne is a quaint location which offers a nice spot to sit back and relax. I found this brewery by random Google map search and I'm glad I did. It is a small brewery but offers some nice seating both inside and outside. It is nestled around the inlet of the lake, which offers a nice atmosphere. They have some good beer options, including a shandy which can be mixed with several different options. Friendly staff and a fun time. Stop in for a beer and a pretzel, you will not be disappointed.

I was in the reston area for a business trip and this became my go to evening spot. The crowd here is fantastic (mix of local runners and cyclists along with the usual neighborhood crowd). Beers are fantastic and the views of the lake are lovely.

One of the best stouts I’ve ever had. Fiancée liked the canned rosé. Pretzel was good but could have been served warmer.

Second brewery stop yesterday. We both loved the place. Great staff, good brew, delicious pretezel! Plus you have a wonderful view of the water!

Cute place, decent pretzels. The beer cheese isn't that good so go for the mustard, it's standard yellow. My fiance and I both liked the beer, I had the Live Work Play IPA. The interior almost seems European inspired, it just reminded me of those little cafe's. Cute place though, great staff with personality.
