6 Bears & A Goat Brewing Company

6 Bears & A Goat Brewing Company is a proudly veteran-owned craft brewery located at 1140 International Parkway in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Founded by six 20-year retirees from the U.S. Coast Guard and one retiree from the U.S. Navy, this brewery represents over 140 years of combined military service to the nation. The brewery's motto, Simply Better Brew, reflects their commitment to crafting delicious beer using traditional ingredients—malt, hops, yeast, and water—without unnecessary frills. Located just two miles off I-95 via exit 133, near Route 17 and easily recognizable next to Chick-fil-A, 6B&G has become a beloved gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. The brewery features a full-service restaurant serving homemade dishes that complement their carefully crafted beers. Core values of patriotism, service, and community drive every aspect of the business, from their support of local causes to their welcoming atmosphere. Open Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until 10pm, the brewery offers a family-friendly environment where guests can enjoy quality craft beverages and delicious food while supporting a business that gives back to the community. The founders' military background instills a sense of discipline and excellence that translates into every pint poured.
