I am from SoCal and I am scouting out where I should move for work West of DC. I am going to be in Leesburg, Fairfax, Dale City area for a week. Where are the good places to live and get good beer? Breweries?

A friend of mine lives in Alexandria and likes the blend of cheapness/safeness. Hands down the best brewery in that area is Port City Brewing Company.

A friend of mine from high school is the "Beer Director" at Lyon Hall in Arlington (

Fairfax has a Dogfishhead Alehouse that is great.
Other then that if you really want a great selection of great beer trip into DC and go to either
Birreria Paradiso
Churchkey
PS: If you end up moving to the Warrenton/Manassas/Culpepper area let me know, I just moved here about 5 months ago (bought a house 2 months ago) and don't have any drinking buddies yet.

I love Dogfishhead so I will have to stop by there. I am planning on staying in Fairfax one night too so I will try to find a hotel near there. I plan on moving out there in July so it will be cool to find another brewer friend.
