On Tap for History: Stafford’s VA250 Beer Collection

A Toast to VA250

This year, Virginia celebrates 250 years of history, and Stafford is raising a glass—literally. As part of the VA250 festivities, local breweries have come together to craft a special beer collection that honors our past while giving you a reason to savor the present. Whether you’re a lifelong Staffordian, a visitor exploring the region, or just a fan of a well-poured pint, these commemorative beers are your ticket to tasting history.

The VA250 beer collection features seven brews from Stafford’s finest craft breweries, each with its own story and flavor. From hoppy pales to rich ales, every pour connects you to the county’s character and the state’s milestone celebration. And for those who like a little extra adventure with their ale, there’s a bonus: the Kegs & Corks Pass. Track your tastings, and you could earn physical prizes while exploring the collection.

Limited Edition Growlers

To make the VA250 beer collection even more memorable, you can take a piece of the celebration home with a limited-edition VA250 growler.
