Aslin Beer Company

They certainly do the "hazy" new england style IPA well.  Their double orange starfish holds its own nicely against some of the best in the style from Tree House, Trillium and other well known NE breweries.  

Additionally - while they're not as available due to their diminished quantities, they make some great stouts.

When did this happen (posted to their site when I went to check on hours since we may be in the area next week)?:

Because of a recent discrepancy between to regulatory agencies, Aslin Beer Co. has decided to alleviate some of the issue by closing the taproom and tasting room.

Sounds like you can still get cans and growlers to go Friday-Sunday.  And:

Hard to expand and build a following if you can't get more tap handles out there. I've really liked the limited number of beers I've tasted from them.  The double dry-hopped Starfish was tapped out very quickly at Snallygaster, but I recall liking the Berliner Weisse.

They have also started work on a legitimate tasting room somewhere in downtown Herndon.  I am not sure as to progress or expected opening.

Brewing capacity is steadily increasing as they redo their original location to use the space that had been the tasting room.  They probably could use still more.

@TedE if you are coming in next week, be sure to follow them on either or both Instagram (@aslinbeerco, I think) and Facebook.  The have generally been doing can releases (no growler fills in the past couple of months, probably due to the aforesaid reconfiguring of their current space) from 3-8 on Thursdays and Fridays, from 11-4 on Saturdays, and 12-4 on Sundays.  But those have varied, and there have been a couple of weekends where they have run out of what they had canned, and did not open on Sunday. (and they might not open on Sunday next week anyway, given that it will be Christmas Eve)  They usually announce what beers and what times "day of" or the day before, on these social media outlets.

I just saw that event announcement today.  I wonder when it was announced, because I follow both on various media, and NRG is usually good about getting notifications out by email.  I might have missed it, though.  In any event, I am going to try to work that into my evening schedule as well, for a quick stop in.
