End Of An Era: Old Ox Brewery Closes Its Doors

Wonk Eye Media Season 7 Episode 5

March brought unexpected and sad news to the DMV beer scene as Old Ox Brewery announced it would close its doors for good on April 5th. 

Roche and Lashelle traveled to Old Ox to speak with owner/brewer, Chris Burns, about the reasons for Old Ox' closing, the challenges of owning a brewery in 2025, and advice for owners (and potential brewery owners).

Then, Chris, Lashelle, and Roche reflect on the tremendous impact Old Ox has had on the beer industry, the Loudoun County community, and the DMV at large.
