Alexandria VA Early Brewers

This is a list of breweries that existed between 1850 and 1900 in Alexandria & Arlington Virginia.
There were breweries in Alexandria before 1850, but I don't know of any surviving bottles from those breweries.

1 Years of operation may not be exact - I derived them from a combination of:

        Newspaper ads & articles,
        Book: American Breweries III, by Dale P. Van Wieren, and
        Book: Capital Beer by Garett Peck.
