Sip and Stroll Through Old Town: Fairfax City Beer Tour | Food Tour | Guided Tour

Fairfax City Beer Tour — a two-hour guided brewery walk through Old Town Fairfax, Virginia, that samples the city's brewery scene and neighborhood flavors. The meeting point is 10415 North Street, Fairfax, VA. Set out from North Street and move at an easy pace across four short five-minute walks that connect three local breweries. The itinerary is built for social eating and sipping: at each stop guests choose their own beer, and one stop includes a shared appetizer so the group can refuel and compare notes. Non-drinking guests are welcome; NA options are available when offered. Group size is limited to 15, which keeps conversations lively and manageable. What makes this walk special is its urban proximity and approachable scale. Unlike a remote beer pilgrimage, this tour threads through Fairfax’s compact Old Town, where brick storefronts, short blocks, and a civic square create instant familiarity. The breweries themselves highlight small-batch brewing techniques, community-focused taprooms, and rotating seasonal pours—an accessible snapshot of Virginia’s craft scene without the long drives between tasting rooms. The tour doubles as an orientation to Fairfax’s food scene. Beyond beer, guides point out notable restaurants and multicultural food options—an attractive feature for visitors who want an afternoon of discovery that can lead to a longer evening. Expect a relaxed pace suitable for couples, friends, families, and solo travelers who enjoy conversation and culinary context. Logistics are simple: the walk lasts around two hours, mostly indoors, and runs in most weather unless conditions are severe. Footwear should be comfortable for short pavement walks; mobility accommodations are noted as available. There are no refunds per the cancellation policy, and the tour maintains a cap to preserve the experience. Why book it? This is an easy, social way to read Fairfax’s local character through its taps, to learn where neighbors go on a Friday night, and to sample beers that reflect local grains, creative adjuncts, and taproom culture. The blend of three breweries, a shared appetizer, and guide commentary gives both newcomers and repeat visitors an efficient, flavorful afternoon. Practical notes: bring ID, expect casual conversation, and plan for a short walking radius between stops. If you’re mapping a longer visit to Northern Virginia, the beer tour is a low-effort, high-reward introduction to the city’s evolving culinary identity. Accessibility and transport are straightforward: the meeting point sits within Old Town’s walkable grid, and street parking or short rideshare trips are common; consider Metro plus a short bus or rideshare for those coming from D.C. Reserve in advance since groups cap at 15, and carry a water bottle between pours to stay comfortable. The tour’s relaxed tempo makes it a good match for multi-generational groups and for anyone easing into craft-beer tasting.
