Brewery Profile

Wasserhund Brewing Company

For visitors exploring Chesapeake’s beer options, the Wasserhund Brewing Company taproom offers an outpost of a regional brewery rather than a one-off neighborhood bar. Its identity comes from three stated influences: German brewing traditions, coastal Virginia life, and the owners’ family dog, Hertz. That combination shapes how the Chesapeake location presents itself to guests: a taproom connected to the wider Hampton Roads craft beer circuit, with the same emphasis on German-style lagers and ales found across the company’s other locations in Virginia Beach and Norfolk. A visitor walking in should expect a setting designed to be approachable for mixed groups, including families and guests with dogs, rather than a space aimed only at beer specialists.

Travelers in coastal Virginia often look for breweries that can serve as easy stops between beach trips, military history sites, neighborhoods, and waterfront dining areas. Wasserhund fits that kind of itinerary by offering a regional beer experience with a defined stylistic focus. German-style lagers and ales can appeal to visitors who want something structured and familiar, as well as those comparing how local breweries interpret older brewing traditions. The Chesapeake taproom also gives travelers a way to sample the company without going to Virginia Beach or Norfolk, which can matter for people staying or meeting others on the south side of the region. Its dog-related identity is not just decorative; the business describes its taprooms as accommodating to both families and dogs.

For planning purposes, the Chesapeake location is also tied to the company’s community outreach schedule. On Wednesday nights there, 25% of sales support a local charity; the same kind of weekly event happens on Tuesday nights at the Virginia Beach location. Visitors interested in that aspect may want to check the current charity and timing directly with the taproom before going. Because the specific beer list can change and no fixed lineup is provided here, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, available styles, and any visit details such as seating arrangements or dog guidelines. For many guests, the practical appeal is straightforward: a regional craft brewery stop in Chesapeake with German-influenced beer, family- and dog-accommodating taproom expectations, and a recurring local charity night.

Wasserhund Brewing Company originated from the owners' appreciation for German brewing traditions, coastal Virginia life, and their family dog, Hertz. The company operates multiple locations across the region, including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, maintaining a focus on German-style lagers and ales. The taprooms are structured to be accommodating to both families and dogs. A dedicated community outreach program is maintained through weekly events where 25% of sales support a local charity; this occurs on Tuesday nights at the Virginia Beach location and Wednesday nights at the Chesapeake location.
