Welcome to Leaders & Lagers. On this week’s podcast we have special guest Chris Burns, Co-Founder and President of the Old Ox Brewery in Ashburn, VA. Chris and I talk about the brewing process, community involvement, and leadership. I share a glass of the Headliner Blonde Ale from Saint Arnold Brewing Co in Houston, TX.

Old Ox is a family owned and operated commercial brewery. Founded on hard work and a commitment to the community. The brewery is looking for ways to partner with the artists, farmers, restaurants, retailers, and other businesses that make Loudoun County a special place to live.

Chris and family chose Old Ox Road as the inspiration for their brewery. Old Ox is one of the oldest roads in Loudoun County and was originally built to connect the agricultural producers of Loudoun County to the markets in Fairfax County and beyond. It is this same sense of connection that they want to provide for their customers…whether they are here in the tasting room or enjoying a pint in their favorite restaurant or tavern.

Old Ox brews in a 30-barrel brewhouse. Just to give you some perspective, each batch brewed will produce 930 gallons of beer. That is enough for 9,920 12-oz. cans of beer or a little over 413 cases of beer per batch.

Their beer is on draft in many restaurants and in on the shelves in stores in Northern Virginia, the District of Columbia and Florida! Of course, Old Ox beer is always available in the Tasting Room either by the pint, refillable growlers or kegs.
