About Capitol City
Brewing Company



In 1992, Capitol City
Brewing Company opened its doors as the first brewpub in the nation's capital
since Prohibition, giving its citizens and many visitors the freedom to enjoy
some of the finest handcrafted beer in the country. On the front of the menu is
the Lady Freedom, a statue found atop our namesake, the United States Capitol.



 



Our dedicated brewers
use only the highest quality hops, yeast and select malt to brew many of
the world's great ales and lagers. Capitol City’s state-of-the-art craft
brewing system is located in our Arlington, VA restaurant, where our
talented brewers closely monitor each phase of the brewing process and provide
beer within hours of completion, fresh and locally made. The popular brewpub is
celebrating 21 years of brewing more than 200 different styles of beer in the
national capital region.
