Commonwealth Brewing Company is slated to open in Old Town Fairfax this summer.

Currently based in Virginia Beach, the family-owned artisanal craft brewery will expand to 10420 Main Street, which was previously the home of several restaurants, a judicial center area and duckpin bowling alley.

It will also be the permanent home of Earp’s Ordinary, a new music venue and pub that has been operating a temporary pop-up nearby.

The Fairfax City Economic Development Authority lauded the coming of Commonwealth Brewing to town.

“We’re thrilled to have Commonwealth Brewing Co. bring their beach vibes, excellent beer and inviting atmosphere to the heart of Old Town Fairfax,” the authority said in an announcement on Facebook.

Natalie and Jeramy Biggie created the brewery in 2015 to “embody their life’s passions, connections to family, friends, the ocean and making creatively original craft beers,” according to the company’s website.

The business, which did not return a request for comment by press time, is currently located at 2444 Pleasure House in Virginia Beach.
