Specialty cocktails, Japanese saké, and local and regional beers—there’s a lot to toast to (and with) year-round in York County!

Local Craft Beers

Water Street Grille at Riverwalk Landing keeps 20 microbrews on rotating tap, including favorites from area breweries: Alewerks Brewing Company and The Virginia Beer Company. Our area is also home to Billsburg Brewery and Beale's (coming soon).

Mobjack Bay Coffee Roasters on Main Street offers local draft beer from Capstan Brewing Company in addition to their roasted coffee.

Capstan Bar Brewing Company (CBBC) creates outstanding handcrafted beers using the finest sourced ingredients in an efficient and sustainable manor. They blend old-world techniques with modern innovations in recipe development, bringing west coast-styles, local favorites, and rotating artisanal handcrafted beers to the Hampton Roads region of Virginia.

Mobjack Bay Coffee Roasters rotates Capstan's draft beer so there is always something new to try.

Looking for a thirst quencher? Head over to The Original Larry's Hard Lemonade Brewing Company. Located directly across from the beach, the alehouse keeps its two signature fruit-infused craft Hard Lemonades on tap, rotating St. George's Brewery's seasonal offerings, plus other local microbrews. Don't forget to try a Larry's Hard Lemonade Slushy!
