USA, VA: Old Ox Brewery in Ashburn announces it’s time for its last call

A big blow to the local brewery scene as Ashburn’s iconic Old Ox Brewery says it’s time for its “last call” and announces its planning to close.

The word came today via a message posted on the Old Ox website.

“The time has come to say goodbye to Old Ox Brewery,” the post reads. “It has been an incredible journey these past 11 years. We’ve treasured every moment. Well, with a few rare exceptions.”

“Together, we’ve made wonderful friendships, supported our community, created some pretty darned cool experiences, and consumed an impressive quantity of delicious beer. Everything must end, though and this is our time.”

The owners say they have been looking for a buyer for the brewery, and are still open to some type of solution to keep the brand going.

But in the meanwhile, a new tenant has leased their Ashburn space on Guilford Drive near Loudoun County Parkway — and Old Ox’s last day will be Saturday, April 5.
