Brewery Profile

Wasserhund Brewing Company

In a Virginia Beach beer scene shaped by coastal traffic, neighborhood taprooms, and visitors looking for an easy stop after time outdoors, Wasserhund Brewing Company presents itself as a casual, family-oriented brewery with a German influence. A visitor walking in should expect more than a bar counter and rotating taps: the brewery is built around a full-service kitchen, seating for mixed-age groups, and a dog-friendly identity tied to the family dog, Hertz. Its name and atmosphere reflect that combination of German brewing traditions, coastal living, and canine company. The company also operates locations in Norfolk and Chesapeake, but the Virginia Beach site remains part of its broader Hampton Roads presence.

Travelers in this part of Virginia often look for places that can work for several kinds of outings: a post-beach meal, a brewery stop with friends, a family dinner, or a relaxed indoor option when the weather changes. Wasserhund fits that pattern by pairing its beer program with food rather than relying on outside food trucks. The menu is described as extensive and includes German-inspired dishes, homemade pizzas, fresh salads, and children’s options, which makes it useful for groups that do not all want the same kind of meal. For beer-focused visitors, the German brewing influence is part of the identity, but the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours and decide what best matches the kitchen menu.

Practical planning is straightforward because the known amenities are central to the visit. Guests can expect a full-service kitchen, family-friendly seating, and a dog-friendly environment across the company’s facilities. A weekly brunch special is offered, though the current timing and menu should be checked directly before going. Community events may also shape the atmosphere: at the Virginia Beach location, 25% of sales every Tuesday night supports a rotating local charity. Visitors who want a quieter experience may prefer to compare that with other times, while those interested in local fundraising may find Tuesday a useful night to stop in. For current beers, food details, dog policies by seating area, and brunch information, confirming with the taproom is the safest approach.

Wasserhund Brewing Company was founded based on an appreciation for German brewing traditions, coastal living, and the presence of the family's dog, Hertz. Operating locations in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, the brewery maintains a family and dog-friendly environment across its facilities. The company distinguishes itself by offering a full-service kitchen rather than relying on food trucks, serving an extensive menu of German-inspired cuisine, homemade pizzas, and fresh salads, alongside options specifically for children. A weekly brunch special is also featured. Community engagement is central to the brewery's operations; specifically, 25% of sales generated every Tuesday night at the Virginia Beach location and every Wednesday night at the Chesapeake location are dedicated to supporting a rotating local charity.
