Don't miss the Alexandria business community's biggest night of the year! Our Best In Business celebration is our annual recognition of companies setting themselves apart as leaders in the area. The Chamber is thrilled to be honoring Bill Butcher of Port City Brewing fame as our 2018 Business Leader of the Year.

Bill Butcher is a fourth generation Alexandrian and proud alum of T.C. Williams and Alexandria City Public Schools. After graduating from James Madison University, he spent many years working with Robert Mondavi Wine Company building world-class fine wine brands in the Mid-Atlantic market. As a longtime craft beer aficionado, Bill watched the craft beer business evolve and become more like the fine wine business. It was this evolution that convinced him and his wife Karen to start Port City Brewing Company in Alexandria in 2011, when there were no other packaging breweries in the DC area. Bill’s expertise in fine wine sales and brand building helped him quickly establish Port City as a quality leader in the D.C and Mid-Atlantic craft beer market. Port City Brewing Company has garnered national and international acclaim for its beers; at the craft beer industry’s most prestigious competition, the Great American Beer Festival, the brewery has earned nine medals and was named Small Brewing Company of the Year in 2015. Port City beers are distributed in 8 Mid-Atlantic states, Washington, DC, the U.K., and Canada.
