Frequently Asked Questions

We have snacks for sale in the taproom, including chips, crackers, and delicious Bear Food - check them out! We also have sparkling water, sodas, and juice boxes for the non-beer-drinkers in your crew. 

You are also welcome to bring your own food into the taproom. We have a few fantastic restaurants in walking distance that do take out, including the Puerto Rico Cafe, Sam and Joe's Pizza, and La China Poblana Taqueria. 

Yes! Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the taproom. We ask that dogs stay in the front of the taproom and do not wander to the kid zone in the back seating area to keep our younger guests feeling safe. We also have outdoor seating and a grassy space out back, which our furry friends seem to really enjoy!

Our menu is constantly changing, based on feedback from customers, the season, and what feels right! We have anywhere from 4 to 8 beers on tap at any given time, depending on what has sold out and our brewing rotation, and the offerings change frequently, with new beers coming out monthly. Follow our social media accounts, where we share updates on weekly tap lists and what we're brewing! 

Yes! 32 oz cans (our Crowlers) are available on demand in the taproom. 

Brightworks began as many small breweries do - a passionate homebrewer with a dream! After a decade of homebrewing and participating in local homebrew clubs and contests, veteran co-owner and head brewer Ken Lewis decided to make a plan to make his dream a reality. 

Local beer enthusiasts will remember the current Brightworks space as the former location of "Bad Wolf Brewing" - the first brewery in Prince William County. Brightworks owes the Bad Wolf team and the local Manassas brewery community a huge debt of gratitude for all the guidance and support as we begin on our journey!
