Rain or Shine, 757 Battle of the Beers is always a blast! Big thanks to everyone who came out to the Military Aviation Museum on Saturday to share some beers & cheers with the HRVA brewing community.

🌧️🍻☀️ This year was extra memorable as our friends from Virginia Craft Beer Magazine invited The Kitchen, from the Virginia Beer Co. to be a VIP Food Sponsor! We were stoked to prepare The Kitchen's 𝕋𝕦𝕟𝕒 ℙ𝕠𝕜𝕖 𝕋𝕠𝕥𝕤 for attendees -- featuring hand-rolled sticky rice tots fried on site and served with fresh ahi poke, smashed avocado, & chili crunch. We served over 300+ in two hours (there's a reason this dish has been on the menu in Yorktown since Day 1)!

It was pretty cool to line up side-by-side with not just our favourite breweries, but also some amazing local eateries, to share a taste of VBC's new brewpub at one of the area's marquee beer events. Cheers to Beach Ambassadors for another great Battle of the Beers!

Today’s the day! VBC has been a proud partner of 🍤 Kiwanis Shrimp Feast 🍤 since we opened in 2016. Come on out to Jamestown Settlement and help us support Kiwanis Club of Williamsburg and numerous non-profits. Trust us 🦐 this annual event is SHRIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE!

It takes a community to throw a party this big. 🦐

The Shrimp Feast may happen on one Saturday in September, but making it all come together takes months of support from businesses and organizations throughout Williamsburg.

Today, we’re thanking 12 incredible Community Partners helping make the 45th Annual Shrimp Feast possible: Proximo Marketing Strategies, Second Street American Bistro Williamsburg, Grand Rental Station Hampton, Newport News and Williamsburg, Williamsburg Event Rentals, The Virginia Beer Company, CarpetPro of Williamsburg, WYDaily.com, Williamsburg's Radio Station FM 93.5 The Burg & WMBG AM 740, Tide Radio Williamsburg 92.3 & 107.9, Xtra 99.1 FM WXGM, Ace Hardware, and Always Be Creating.

From spreading the word and providing equipment to helping create the experience our guests enjoy, these community partners are part of what makes Shrimp Feast feel so distinctly Williamsburg.

Please help us give them a BIG Shrimp Feast thank you! 👏🦐

Remember The Sky — Inspired by the clear blue sky in NYC and across the country on 9/11, each year the National September 11 Memorial & Museum encourages people to post a picture of the sky above their heads on this day in order to honor, reflect, and help us remember that we’re all connected.

Today on Patriot Day we look back and up to ensure that we . Here’s to our neighbors, our first responders, our protectors, and everyone looking up at the sky together today as one. 🌤️🇺🇸

With Fall Semester upon us, we're bringing back Tribe Thursday -- featuring Pint Specials, Senior Mug Night, & Trivia! And since the Class of '27 mugs are a little slighter than expected, we've brought in reinforcements for your visits to VBC.

🔜 Starting today, you can purchase a 32 oz. OG-inspired mug [and enjoy your first fill of Griffin Gold on us]. And if you're a W&M Senior: you can also use it every Thursday for our OG Tribe Thursday draft deal!

We're honoring discounted mug pours in this year's new SCG mug too. So if you buy only one mug this semester: make it the small one! But if you're in for two, grab a VBC mug too. We've got plenty of Alumni on staff and they all agreed that your time in the 'Burg isn't complete without at least one oversized mug pour.

Hark 🍺 Upon 🍺 The 🍺 Ale!
