Port City Brewing to invest more than $2.68 million in Alexandria

Port City Brewing will invest more than $2.68 million to expand its operations in Alexandria.

The company will create 26 new jobs and source 75 percent of its agricultural product needs from Virginia producers.

The city expects to gain nearly $300,000 in new tax revenue in the next five years as a result of the project.

Port City currently distributes throughout Virginia, Washington, D.C., and other mid-Atlantic states.  Its expansion will allow the company to more than double production.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe approved a $250,000 grant from the Governor’s Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development (AFID) Fund, which Alexandria will match with local funds.
