Very knowledgeable staff and Mr. Jeff makes you feel so at home.

The staff was knowledgeable without being overbearing. I walked in with only a vague idea of what beer I wanted to get for a friend. With the wide selection of craft beers, I was able to find a nice house warming gift.

THE DEPARTMENT OF BEER AND WINE IS A MUST VISIT SHOP IF YOU ARE IN ALEXANDRIA. We love visiting on a Saturday and tasting the newest selections of beers. When we find one we like, its placed in a Crowler (32 ounce can / growler) for the trip home. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Stop in this wonderful LOCAL store when you are in need of a new beer or wine. SO GLAD THEY ARE IN THE POTOMAC YARD NEIGHBORHOOD.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, with a great selection available for growler fills. Love their choices of tasty treats and how supportive of the community they are.

Best wine, beer and tasty eats shop around!

The Department is amazing, it’s my go to Crowler fill up spot! I am a Crowler Club member and love the ability to fill up with so many carefully selected brews on tap. Great representation of local craft brew as well as from across the US and even international. Great wine selection and lots of helpful staff picks in various styles and price points. Yummy goodies in the freezer too like delicious frozen pizzas from local outlets and nightingale ice cream sandwiches from Richmond.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great selection of beer on tap and in stock.

Great local store that puts on wonderful community events. Even though this is a beer and wine shop, they are very family friendly. Kids events are held in the breezeway outside the shop. Also there’s more than just beer and wine- they have a great selection of local snacks and offer fresh flowers on the weekends! The owners/staff are super friendly and always willing to help you find the right selection for you!

Love the options especially the draft beer

Wonderful assortment of wine, beer and other delicious food. Service is top notch and Ive gotten delivery which is great as well! Oh the flowers have made an awesome last minute gift!

Best selection in the area, growler fills and extremely knowledgeable staff! Check it out!

I went here to check out their options for crowler fills a few weeks back and got a few good things. Decided to have them order me a keg while I was at it. When it came in it was unfortunately a quarter keg instead of a sixtel. Thus it wouldnt fit in my kegerator with another sixtel. They took it back the next day with no questions asked and did offer me an exchange for one keg they had on hand, but I declined. Overall, a great staff, very helpful, and a fantastic selection of beer.

I love this place and the team that runs it. They are very knowledgeable about wine and beer and the tap list is always full of great beers. Their tastings are always a good time as well.

They always have a great selection of beers you cant find in the local grocery stores.

Great selection of specialty beers, wine, and snacks. The staff are also wonderful, and the shop definitely has an inviting neighborly feel to it. Cant recommend this place enough!

Great selection of wine and beer on draft and packaged. Also has a few other specialty items.Worth checking out this store for quality, craft beer instead of the supermarket

Curbside works great. Good adherence to COVID safety. Will return again.

Not bad selection but a bit overpriced.

Great local spot to find a new favorite drink.

An awesome store with an excellent selection of craft beers and wonder wines. Staff is always helpful and ready to offer samples of draft items. Regular wine and beer tastings occur and they do a great job adding new selections to the lineup! The store has been a great addition to the neighborhood!

Great selection and friendly service. They carry a wide variety of local beers, ciders, and wines, as well as some of the nationally, well known breweries.

Awesome local beer & wine spot. Friendly service and excellent offerings.

Staff is always friendly and helpful. Prices are very reasonable and selection is always great. Only thing that could make it better would be to be able to consume their brews on location, but thats not their shortcoming anyway. Great shop!

I really like the store. Its a great addition to the neighborhood. Many beers on tap for crowler and Growler Fills. They also normally have two wines on tap as well as a root beer or similar. The canned and bottled wine and beer selection are pretty good. They get a lot of the hard-to-find beers. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. This is my new frequent shop for wine and beer since they opened!

Great staff. Great local and regional craft beers on tap. Crowler club.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. 32 (if I remember) taps with a wide selection, with growlers and crowlers. Even bigger selection on the shelves. Definitely worth dropping in if you are nearby and looking for more than what the grocery has.

Love the cider selection here.

Great beer selection at a fair price. Knowledge and friendly staff.

Great people at the counter to help. deep selection on tap that rotates on a regular basis. wines are from all over and they have some real experts come in for tastings.

Friendly, knowledgeable owners. Great selection of beer, wine and snacks. Currently soft opening (as of 1Sep17). They offer about 20 beers on tap to go in growler or 32 oz crowler cans. Im a fan.

Fills a need for craft beer lovers in the area. Great staff, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Great selection of beers hard to find elsewhere.

Always a wide selection of beers to choose from.

A great variety of hand-crafted beer and wine picks. Nice selection!

Great store. Fabulous craft selection and knowledgable and enthusiastic staff. A much needed addition to the neighborhood!

This place has a great selection of local and difficult to find beer and wine. They also have an excellent rotating tap selection for growler or crowler filling. But, dont go here expecting to find the usual suspects youd find at the grocery store or youll be disappointed.

Great specialty beer and wine shop. 20-ish rotating taps for filling crowlers and growlers with a variety of draft beers and wines (yes, wine on tap!). The fridges and shelves are likewise stocked with a huge selection of beers and wines from all over the world. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. A welcome addition to the neighborhood, I will be a frequent customer!

Great craft beer growler filling station. Pricey but the quality is very high and the folks who work there are very helpful and friendly.

Small place with a limited selection of wines and bottled/canned beer, but a good selection of beer on tap for growler refills.

The Department of Beer and Wine is unique in that it offers to fill crowlers and growlers with beer tapped on-site. The staff is helpful and informative, and their selection is awesome.

Great selection, knowledgeable staff and super friendly. And there are Crowler fills. Prices are competitive also.

Outstanding beer selection and really friendly staff. I am thrilled this place opened up in our neighborhood.

Great store! Excellent beer and wine selection, with a large.on tap selection for growlers!

Amazing variety of hard- to-find beers and wines.

Crowlers are great for when I forget my growler but want to take home beer on tap. The selection is awesome

Great little beer and wine shop with a remarkably good selection and taps for growler fills

We have loved this place and have been frequent customers since their opening. The last two times we have visited we have been disappointed. There is the same older gentlemen working there on the weekends who literally seems annoyed that we are there. Totally rude and seems just plain bothered. Super unhelpful and not the norm that we came to expect with this place.

Great place to get growler fills and pick up can and bottles of beer and wine.

Friendly knowledgeable staff...excellent treats for sale...and the crowlers are the perfect size if you are not ready for a growler.

Amazingly diverse selection of beer and always friendly staff!

Excellent growler fill selection and a fairly extensive can and bottle selection. They have wine too, if thats your thing.

Great beer selection; rotating taps with a fantastic digital display listing the available pours. Growler and crowler fills available. Snacks! Local bites and imported, hard-to-come-by treats (read: actual German Haribo gummis and CURRY KETCHUP) in stock.

Outstanding and continuingly updated selection...local ownership and highly recommended.

What an awesome place, huge selection of beer and the guy at the counter (Steve) was very informative of many beer choices. I even got to try some of the beer they had on tap since i didnt know some of them.

Great selection, coupled with friendly staff willing to talk you through your purchase and make recommendations.

Great selection and friendly helpful staff. They really know their stuff!

Good growler selection. Not great bottle/can selection

Awesome selection and very helpful/friendly staff. There is also a parking lot in the back.

Enjoyed tasting and buying!

I started going to fill up my growler. Never disappointed.

Unique selection of craft beer and cider, very helpful staff. Visit on every trip into Virginia as selection changes.
