BadWolf Brewing To Shut Down In Manassas At The End Of The Month | Manassas, VA Patch
BadWolf was an early entry into the current DMV beer boom. Opening in 2013, there were only a few long-established places and a few relative newcomers (Port City, DC Brau, 3 Stars, Chocolate City).
When they originally opened they planned on never brewing the same beer once. That concept didn’t last long, partly because it’s hard to establish yourself without a core lineup and also the headache of VA ABC rules, at least at the time. Still, they brewed new stuff constantly.
They opened up a larger facility down the street from the original, but that was sold off a few years after it opened. Tucked Away is currently in that larger location.
Their setup really never would have allowed them to grow like pretty much every other brewery out there, so I think it’s been a long time coming since they scaled back.
I returned often, largely because it was an easy place to tick new beers with ease, and the small intimate location was full of fun characters so it was an enjoyable place to chit-chat, even if the beers themselves weren’t mind blowing. Once a lot more breweries opened up closer to me, the drive just couldn’t be justified and I haven’t been back in quite a while.
