Ornery Beer Company & Public House is creating a unique craft beer & dining destination near Potomac Mills Mall in Woodbridge, Va., a market underserved by local craft breweries & brewpubs. Using experienced gained through over a decade of restaurant operations in this location & others in the Northern Virginia market, along with years as operational director of a polished casual brewpub in this market, we are converting our existing restaurant into a new brewpub brand & concept.
