The Wort Truck & Wagon

Behind the Scenes

The Wort Truck & Wagon

The wort truck and wagon have been with us since the summer of 2018, right before we opened Commons. We needed a way to bring the wort (sugar water) from Caboose Tavern in Vienna, VA to Caboose Commons in Fairfax, VA to start the fermenting process in the tanks there.

The Wort Truck & Wagon were born — and have been a beloved part of the Caboose story ever since.

What Our Guests Say

I like this spot. Stopped by here for lunch today while One-Wheeling with a friend on the W&OD trail. You can get to it directly from the trail which is awesome.

— Saminda

Come for the delicious beer and stay for the amazing food! Beer speaks for itself but I especially like the IPAs and the Pilsner.

— Jacob

Oh man, what an awesome brewery in Fairfax. Great customer service and a huge place, indoors and outdoors. Wide variety of beers and food. I strongly recommend.
