Second time I've been here, but first time I've reviewed them. I love the location, right on the W and OD Trail. You can bike here, which is how I got here both times. They do stay pretty busy. Especially on a Friday night,
Here is some nice outdoor seating. They do not serve food, but during peak times there is a food truck parked outside. Today it is a build your own quesadilla truck
As for the beer.... It was good but not outstanding. The best part of this brewery is its location and the ambience.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 10, 2023Updated review
Update: Now they do their own food, have wine and limited drinks.
Still family owned and community focused.
Don't expect a good social media presence.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Mar 28, 2018Previous reviewYour neighborhood brewery where everyone knows your name.
1) Beer - always has the staples, some seasonal and some special
2) Food - variety of trucks
3) Location - somewhat hard to find BUT great back room and a deck
4) Staff - nice.
5) Community - they do help out Firefighters and charities. You feel like they try to be involved locally
6) Activities - corn hole, cards, games and even a month Lecture
7) Parking - you may have to walk a bit on a busy day
I'm making it a regular stop. - Feb 27, 2023
Really Really enjoyed my Sunday afternoon here. Met a buddy for a few beers, he suggested the Black Ox with nitro added. Wow, great suggestion, really good beer.
Pretty decent menu, the usual "pub fair", I had a large pretzel that was good.
Place is really big, so you can spread out, the backroom had a cornhole tourney going on. If you look at the website, seems a lot of good events to get involved with. Hope to return soon.
If you ride a bicycle, it's right on the W&OD trail, easy off, have a few brews, get back on.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 26, 2023
Great little hidden hangout in the land of Ashburn's finest office buildings and data centers. It's a perfect spot for grabbing an adult soda pop after a long day of work. I highly recommend the rye porter for those who like dark beers because it is incredibly tasty.

Old ox is a staple for bikers (cyclists) on the W&OD trail. Great location. Good beer. And they usually have food trucks of various kinds. The servers are on the spot and generous in allowing a taste or two! The ambiance is casual though a little industrial parky..

They definitely cater to bikers (the pedal kind!) and have a rotating selection of diverse beers. They have chips and snacks available at the bar and there is always a food truck of some sort parked outside. While the beer selection is diverse and rotating, the beer styles were too complex and too IPA-focused for my taste. The servers were friendly and very willing to pour tasters. The prices are in the neighborhood of $6 per pint, which is not bad. Overall very solid place.

Came here on a quiet Tuesday afternoon, we were the only people in the place. I tried their October beer, and it took forever to pour it because it was all foam. After all that wait, the beer was flat.
Just as we walked outside to enjoy my flat beer, the staff turned on music loud enough to split your eardrums. Did I mention we were the only customers? Were they trying to get us to leave?
They did turn it down to a reasonable level after we asked. And replaced the flat beer with another type. All rather reluctantly.
On a positive note, they did comp us for the flat beer.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Jul 13, 2019Previous reviewSecond time I've been here, but first time I've reviewed them.

Have always liked Old Ox for their beers, particularly their hatch chili beer and keg nog. I've also liked their special events and pairing flights (e.g., smore's and stouts). They have recently started a Scratch Kitchen at this location, it shows promise.

Landed on this spot for another weekend brewery trip. I was sort of familiar with their beer since I've had it around at other places in NOVA.
There wasn't too much parking but luckily it wasn't too busy and we found some on the side of the building. We grabbed the I Am Brut, the Pinch Me Peach, Kristin's Passion (Porter), and the Funky Face Tropical Sour. Kristin's Passion and Funky Face were our favorites. Kristin's Passion really had a distinct chocolate taste but also had a kick. The Funky Face was really fruity but also very sour (obviously).
They also had a food truck this day (Momo's and More) which was also pretty solid. They have rotating food trucks that they post on Insta (I think). It also seems like they can hold parties as well based on the party we saw in the room behind the bar.
Pretty solid brewery overall, I wouldn't mine coming back when I'm in the Ashburn area looking for a beer.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 13, 2021
I was excited to see a brewery so close to my hotel!! In the area on business and had to come here to try it out! Much like many other breweries in the US this can found in a commercial/industrial area that's been turned into an epic brewery destination.
I noticed on one side there is a bicycle trail that ends at the brewery. Who doesn't want a cold beer after a bike ride? If you're at least 21 anyway.
I liked the service I for from the beer tenders also. Knowledgeable and friendly. I sampled six beers and really enjoyed their nitro stout.
I also learned they have rotating food trucks and on Tuesdays this pizza truck comes in that was straight fire!!! Also it was a brick oven pizza truck so literally fire !!
Great experience for me and I'll be sure to visit againHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Orlando S.VA, VA01Nov 12, 2023
The website and the door said they closed at 7pm on Sundays. I got their at 6pm and they said sorry we just called last call. How are you gonna sell a bye Dan ipa and close early on a Sunday during a commanders game. Never going to this dump again.
