Caboose Brewing Company

Great beer, thoughtful food

Our Story

Founded May 5, 2015

The McLaughlin and Greer families established Caboose Brewing Company on May 5, 2015, in Vienna, VA. The name references a historic red caboose and the W&OD railroad line running through Vienna. The families sought to revitalize remnants of the town's industrial past, similar to the Rails to Trails movement.

Our first brewpub in Vienna was originally dreamed up so that we could walk to a small-town pub, enjoy delicious food and beverage with friends, and walk back home. That vision — rooted in community and simplicity — guides everything we do.

A second location, Caboose Commons, opened in September 2018 in Fairfax as a coffee house and brewery hybrid in a massive converted tool rental facility in the Mosaic District. The same community-focused values that built Caboose Tavern live on at Caboose Commons.

Great Service, wonderful atmosphere, good beers, ciders and wines, plus the food was more than delicious, but also beautifully presented and a lovely blend of flavors.

Come for the delicious beer and stay for the amazing food! I come pretty regularly and always have great food. The biscuits and gravy are some of the best I've eaten.
