We’re talking about the health of local craft breweries on today’s Potomac Local Podcast.
The founders of Waters End Brewery in Lake Ridge: Ryan Sharkey, Zack Mote, and Josh Fournelle join us to talk about their brewery business model.
The timely conversation comes as two other breweries in nearby Woodbridge — Ornery Brewery Public House and Heroic Aleworks — closed their doors earlier this year. And just last week, the region’s first brewery — BadWolf Brewery in Manassas — announced it is downsizing and abandoning its plans for distribution to store shelves on regional bars and restaurants.
Has the bubble burst on the local craft brewery industry? Is it too late for aspiring craft brewers to get int the game? And what’s the difference between the larger destination breweries vs. s small neighborhood tap house?
I hope you enjoy this episode of the Potomac Local Podcast.
Prince William County has a homeless problem.
About 400 people in the county live in shelters, or in wooded areas around major roadways and shopping centers.
As more development occurs in the county forcing some out of their tents in wooded encampments, the county's government aims to do more to help the homeless get access to education, training, basic services, as well as work to prevent facing homelessness from going without a roof over their heads.

The Manassas Regional Airport is the largest general aviation airport in Virginia.
For years, the airport has attracted pilots and their clients who are looking for an alternative to larger airports like Regan Washington National or Dulles airports.
We talked to the airport's director Juan Rivera who told us that while the airport has little room left to expand its land footprint, it is looking to add new services like a charter plane service.

Traffic congestion and enforcement is a growing problem in Prince William County.
As the population continues to increase, so do the number of fatal car crashes. There were 26 fatal crashes in the county in 2016, a whopping 145% increase over the prior year.
One local leader, Supervisor Ruth Anderson of the Occoquan District, says it's no longer enough to address the speeding problem on a case-by-case, localized basis, and has called for the creation of a new panel made up of police, transportation officials, residents, and media to examine the problem and proposed new solutions.
