A split-level taproom on the Peninsula with a rentable mezzanine loft that fits 40-plus people, outdoor fire pits, and a packed event calendar that has included LGBTQ+ Pride gatherings, Star Wars trivia nights, and Harry Potter-themed evenings. Tradition Brewing draws a notably diverse Newport News crowd; dogs, kids, and apparently the occasional parrot are all part of the scene. The beer earns consistent praise from regulars who consider it among the best in Virginia.

Traditions Brewing Co. come and join their traditions or make your own. This weekend they once again sponsored a LGBTQ+ Pride event filling the front parking lots and frontage lawn and interior of the brewery. Tradition Brewing Co. always stepping up and out to celebrate the local community.
Tradition Brewing Co. has a full calendar of events each month with food and beverage specials to celebrate those events. Tradition Brewing Co. should be on your to “check out” list. Always an opportunity for some fun with old friends or come and meet new ones. There’s nothing to disappoint, slide onto a bad stool and start a conversation with the tap person on duty and if you’re undecided as to what to order they will happily guide you. Also available are flights so you have the opportunity to taste the offerings side by side.
Then don’t forget the menu and tuck into some of the best bar food in all of the Tidewater area.
And if you’ve found a favorite brew or two they have it ready for you packaged to go.

Really good spot. Very open space and there's a good selection of craft beers. We came when it was a little quiet so wish there was some live music but either way the beers were flowing and they were good. Customer service was spot on from the minute we walked in and very friendly. Saved this place and hope we can return.
