New Microbrewery Signs Lease for Southgate
After Falls Church saw the debut of its first-ever — and only — distillery this month, the News-Press has received word of another big addition to the City’s lineup of beer, wine and spirits scene.
Audacious Aleworks, an upcoming new small-batch microbrewery, has signed a lease for two adjoining spaces totaling more than 2,500 square feet in the newly-renovated Southgate shopping center, also known as the Lily Building, on E. Fairfax St.
The new brewery, from Northern Virginia residents Brian Reinoehl and Mike Frizell, does not have an estimated opening date at this time.
