How does your garden grow? If it’s the Waterfront Beer Garden by Port City Brewing Company, it grows with porters, and pilsners, and lagers and ales all in a row.

The beer garden popped up recently at Waterfront Park in Old Town. Along with the award-winning craft beer, Haute Dogs served up their signature fast-gourmet food. Alexandria Colonial Tours shared spooky stories and Port City tested the crowd’s Halloween smarts with trivia. Several four-legged friends also participated, donning their Halloween best.
