#60. Alexandria
Along the west bank of the Potomac River is Alexandria, a city mostly populated by professionals who work in Washington, D.C. The city’s Old Town district is a major attraction for tourists, and nearly a half-dozen breweries have found success in Alexandria. They include Capitol City Brewing Co. and Port City Brewing Co., which produces our choice, the Port City Porter, and Maniacal IPA.
