Beer list for December 2023
James N.

Making a trip up to Asheville from Cola-town! Great place to stop and stretch your legs and waste band. Beer selection was great for everyone. You can't find something to drink here you're a snob and stay home with your PBR! Food selection and variety was complimentary of the beer selection. Music selection is obviously an 80s baby! Great pit stop, and you won't be disappointed. Boom.... I said what I said! Enjoy!

This is a nice place located near the walking section of downtown Winchester. The lady at the bar was friendly. There was limited outdoor area but there was nice seating inside. The place is also dog friendly as there was one in there. We did a small sampling but couldnt stay long as we had somewhere to be. I would like to come back here and hang out.

Broken Window Brewing is another recent entrant into the Bonanza of Northern Virginia region of craft breweries. It's located in downtown Old Town Winchester. Your best bet is to find a local parking garage and park there. Not a lot of street parking available. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and ordered up a tasting flight of all of their brews. Here they are - along with my Untappd ratings: Do Me A Solid Raspberry Wheat Ale (6.6% ABV) (2.25 stars on Untappd) Sometime Next Week Cream Ale (5.9% ABV) (2.25 stars on Untappd) Moron Brothers Amber Ale (5.9% ABV) (3.5 stars on Untappd) Mike The Red Irish Ale (5.2% ABV) (2.75 stars on Untappd) Mass Hysteria IPA (6.4% ABV) (4 stars on Untappd) Left Overs IPA (7.5% ABV) (4 stars on Untappd) I found three of the first four brews to be rather average. The Moron Brothers Amber Ale was enjoyable. BUT - the two IPA's were outstanding! I'd drink a pint of either of those any day! Delish! The tasting room is cozy! Nice ambiance! Service was good! Can't wait to come back and see what else they brew up! Definitely worth visiting! #BrokenWindowBrewing

I have not been to Broken Window brewing before. I happened to be in Winchester and thought I would try a local brewery and this is what seemed close and had a nice look to it. I would definitely go back and recommend trying if you are in the Winchester, Virginia area. Broken Window is small, but the atmosphere is excellent. It is very old town with beautiful beautiful brick walls. The tap guy is very friendly and can tell you a lot about the brews on tap. There is free popcorn to go along with what you are drinking. It is dog friendly and the small group of patrons on Saturday late afternoon all seemed to appreciate a dog's presence. I saw a few people with young kids and had my teenage daughter with me - they had soda to accommodate date the under 21 needs. I had an IPA. It was good but not as hoppy as I like. Nonetheless, I reiterate, it was a good well-brewed beer. My wife had a cream ale. I am not a big cream ale fan, but it also was nicely balanced and had the right amount of malt. My recommendation stands - I suggest trying Broken Window Brewing!

Stopped in here for the first time. It's the name that caught my eye. The beer was excellent. I had the the lager and my husband Pale Ale. It is a wonderful looking place as well. Will definitely stop here again when we are the area.

Super friendly staff! Friendly patrons! Great beer--multiple varieties to choose from...would make anyone happy. Owner/manager allows and loves dogs. Definitely check them out if you're in the area!

Good fresh beers.

However, the bartender was kind and inviting and told us "take your time and enjoy your beers" after we ordered. We didn't stay long, but really enjoyed our time here and how welcomed we felt. The menu had a wide variety of options including a fruited sour, porter, lager, IPA, alcoholic seltzers and more. We were able to taste a few before we ordered our beers. There was space to sit at the bar and a few larger tables near the windows. The beer was great and we enjoyed hearing about the brewers/owners from the friendly bartender. Note: this spot is located above the pizza/Italian restaurant! Enter through the main area and turn right to find the stairs.

Garlic parmesan and spicy carribean jerk didn't have much taste like their names We came here to grab dinner on Friday evening. It was somewhat busy but we got a table right away. The interior was pretty nice, had a giant bar at the back side and also a separate space with one billiard board and couple of shuffle boards. There were TVs all around playing the World Cup game. The AC was broken, so they had some air blowers pumping air. They were really a burger place with the menu having 50 different types of burgers. They had chili, salad and wings too. I ordered the 10 jumbo wings, which were roasted style with moist soft meat inside. I got the garlic parmesan and spicy Caribbean jerk sauces on the side, but none of tasted like their names. I really liked the Rueben burger. But the side of coleslaw was somewhat busy disappointing, was straight up lifeless cabbage thrown in a bowl, had no cream whatsoever. When I asked the waitress about it, she said that's how it was and nothing she could do about it. The truffle fries were much better quality side. The staff members all around were friendly. They all were suffering from the AC blowout too. The dishes came out in short intervals despite the place being busy. Overall it seemed to be a solid place to hangout and have burger and fries.

On our way to PA, we stopped for an overnight at the Hampton in Woodstock, VA…read more I checked out places for dinner on Yelp and decided on the Woodstock brewhouse (after we came back later in the evening, I noticed that the that the hotel's recommended it on their "best local's bulletin board). It was a winner all the way. The restaurant is a repurposed building that was once a blue jeans factory, and perhaps after that a radio station. We learned this from a local couple at a table next to us. As might be expected from a former factory, the restaurant is spacious and has a lot of character with old wooden floors and high ceilings. It's very casual. You order your beverages and food at the bar and grab a table to your liking. We chose one in the middle of room to give us a little space from the live band. Incidentally, it seems they have a live group every night of the week! I ordered a honey wheated beer for my wife and a pale ale for myself. Both were delicious. I ordered the Reuben and a cheeseburger for my wife. The Reuben wasn't up to say, a NY City deli standard, but it was pretty darn good and I would order it again. It came on marbled rye bread with a generous amount of meat. My wife loved her burger, and could only finish half of it. She got the sweet potato fries and I got regular fries. We both got a mountain of potatoes-- a challenge to finish in one sitting! The brewhouse is a gem--a delightful find in the quaint town sometimes referred to as the "other Woodstock." 4 and a half stars!

The brewery opens at 12 and they ask that you don't start the trail until about an hour before open. We got there right at 11am and were the only ones on the trail! It took us just over an hour, was well marked, about 500 feet of net elevation, and had a nice overlook towards the end. Starts and ends right at the brewery. Afterwards I got a beer flight which was delicious and I had many beers to choose from. My favorite was the seasonal pumpkin beer! I didn't get food but saw they have pizza on weekdays and additional food trucks on weekends. My pup had a great time. There were lots of water available and dog bowls if you need them. The views for drinking were immaculate. This is a special brewery and we'll be back for sure!!

The views are better than Bluemont Vineyards next door and the atmosphere is a bit more laid-back and casual. There's plenty of seating with umbrella tables and chairs (albeit not covered seating) as well as in the back of the tasting room. There are about 20 beers, seltzers, and some non-alcoholic beers on draught. I enjoyed the Apple Cider Seltzer on tap with 1/2 pour. It's honestly worth paying the extra $2.50 for a full 16 oz pour. Sadly, I made another $8 for a 2nd round of the 1/2 hour. Lesson learned - next time! There's standard bar finger food and pizza - decent, filling, not quite a culinary experience. The Garlic Fingers were okay. The Dirty Crisps were tasty with kettle chips topped with ricotta cheese, prosciutto, pesto, and hot honey. There's also a food truck on site selling Mexican food as well and my friend enjoyed her 3 tacos for $10. Excited to come back for some cider, accompanying bar food, and breathtaking views! While Bluemont gets all of the hype, don't overlook Dirt Farm Brewery!

We had family visiting and went in on a Monday around 1230. Hoping to be in and out for lunch... We were a party of 5, ordered two beers, an appetizer, four entrees and an additional appetizer as an entree. We waited 10-15 minutes after being seated to have our order placed. We waited an additional 10 minutes or so for an appetizer to come out. After that, we never saw a sever come to us. There was a party of 6 before us who was served and then left. We saw two additional parties 4-6 people arrive, in addition to another couple who arrived. These parties were all served before us within the next 40 minutes to an hour. As we looked at the entrees being brought out we thought it would be ours as it appeared to almost be the same orders as what we ordered. Unfortunately, we had to remove ourselves from this situation as we had gone about an hour if not more without proper service. Unfortunately, we were very upset and asked if we had upset someone at the restaurant as we sat outside where it did become hot and we watched everyone who arrived after us be served. Unfortunately, the staff wanted to justify their actions which upset us more. I paid for the beers, soft drinks, and appetizer we did have, but they definitely lost locals at this location which is very sad all because of incompetent and dysfunctional staff on a Monday afternoon. There was no reason for any of this to have happened. But the restaurant made sure to make us feel as invaluable as possible. So if you want good entertainment come here and expect disappointment. There are much better options in Front Royal and Winchester that know how to function and value their customers any day of the week.
