Settle Down Easy Brewery Plots a Big Taproom for New Oakton Outpost

Three-year old Falls Church nanobrewery Settle Down Easy is plotting a second location in Oakton, Virginia at Hunter Mill Plaza in the late spring of 2022 with a 4,000-square foot taproom and a petite, one-barrel brewhouse.

The Fermented Pig, a farmers market regular known for cured meats and charcuterie, will open its first brick and mortar location inside the new brewery’s 80-seat tasting room with paninis, salads, local cheeses, charcuterie, and more. The Fermented Pig specializes in sausages like fennel pollen salumi, kielbasa, and maple sage breakfast sausage, and bacon in flavors like orange fennel and winter spice with cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.

The taproom will pour wine, local ciders, Settle Down Easy beers, as well as beers on tap from other Fairfax County breweries.

Settle Down Easy opened its first location in Fairfax County in 2018 with five barrels. The brewery’s second location will be the first brewery for Oakton.
