Water’s End Brewery introduces new brews from new fermenters

By Sponsored Post

With new equipment comes new beers.

The Water’s End Brewery in Woodbridge upgraded some of its brewing equipment this month. The brewery took to  Facebook to announce it had received new fermenters at its Potomac Mills location, which can ferment 20 bbls or barrels.

So what does this mean?

U.S. breweries measure beer volume in barrels. The conversion from one U.S. barrel is 31 gallons, allowing the brewery to create 620 gallons per batch.

Now, Water’s End can offer more and different beers to their customers than they have in the past. The first brews to come out of the new fermenters will be big batches of popular summertime beers 'Trip to Tahiti' and 'HopDrop'. Both beers will be offered on tap and in six-packs of 12-once cans.

The brewery also announced the return of two of their classic brews, The Greatest Beer in the World (A Tribute), named after the song The Greatest Song in the World (A Tribute) folk-metal band "Tenacious D."

It’s Okras, delivered to your door, hot or cold

Okras is my favorite restaurant to visit in Downtown Manassas.

When I was working at CenterFuse, before covid, I would walk across the street and order the Cajun Chicken BLT, with just the right amount of kick. And I’d always bring something home for my wife, who loves Okra’s Shrimp and Grits.
