Like Smarmouth a lot, heading to Big Ugly Brewing Co. in Chesapeake tonight

We've really gotten into the brewery scene within the last few years. Getting a little older and over the typical bar scene, but wife and I still like to get out and have a few drinks when we can.

O'Conners and Smarthouth are my favorites in Norfolk, Bold Mariner is very small but good too. In Virginia Beach we like Commonwealth and Back Bay is pretty good too.
