Port City Brewing Company turns one year old today. To commemorate, the Alexandria brewery is releasing a special anniversary beer, appropriately called "One," tonight with a synchronized tapping at more than 30 bars and restaurants throughout the area. The first of several local production breweries to get underway in the past year, Port City has plenty to celebrate. Founder Bill Butcher reports he produced 20 percent more beer than originally planned to keep up with demand. The tasting room has expanded hours for growler fills and brewery tours. Butcher is currently planning a brewery expansion. Not to be overlooked, head brewer Jonathan Reeves designed and installed a custom-built device he calls the "Hop Cannon" that allows him to dry hop his brews in a way that prevents oxygen from tainting the beer. Similar to other Port City special releases like this winter's Tidings Ale, One is a complex beer. The Belgian imperial stout is brewed with tons of candi sugar and eight different hops, and rings in at 9.5 percent alcohol by volume. The following bars and restaurants will be tapping Port City's anniversary brew at exactly 6 p.m. tonight:
