One of Alexandria's largest employers in the 19th century was the Robert Portner Brewing Company. After nearly 50 years, prohibition lead to the business shutting its doors. Nearly 100 years later, Port City Brewing Company is reviving the city's quality brewing tradition. Folks will find year round flagships like Optimal Wit - a Belgian style white ale and Ways & Means – a session rye IPA. There are also must try seasonals like fall's Oktoberfest and the holiday season's Tidings Ale. But don't just taste the beer. Book and take a tour of the facility. Their Tasting Room is open seven days a week and features different events including BeerYoga Tuesdays and live music on Friday nights.
