Twisted Oak has rapidly become my favorite place to sit and relax and have a pint on the weekend…read more It is very much a farm brewery, as you pass through barley fields on the way in, and there are hops being trellised this spring. The space is outstanding with breezy porches, outdoor fire pits, and even walking trails across the back of the property. In winter, the wood stove keeps the inside nice and toasty. The beers are good, and Jay is a skilled brewer, gradually honing his recipes to the brewhouse. (The Miss Hazy has noticably changed and improved over the past few months.) As opposed to some places with 20+ beers ranging from the odd to the excellent to simply undrinkable, Twisted Oak typically has a range of 6-8 brews on, and all of them quite good. Most importantly, the service is outstanding. Jay and Missy (owners) are welcoming, and the part time help are all friendly and it is obvious they genuinely want you to enjoy the beer and the space. And, well, the dogs and I do.

They only offer take out bottles at this time but hopefully expand to an onsite service brewery. They have a great variety of fresh beers for every palette.

While visiting Virginia, we stopped by Dirt Farm Brewing. The brewery is located at the top of a…read morehillside with incredible views. Food The brewery has a ton of their own original beers. Being that it was the fall, I went with a pumpkin beer and an Oktoberfest. The pumpkin beer came with the rim coated with sugar. Both beers were tasty. They have a good truck on site that made smash burgers, which were very good. 5/5 Service All the beers were ordered at the counter, but staff were friendly and knowledgeable. They offered good suggestions. 5/5 Ambiance The ambiance is what really sets this place apart. I have been to any number of breweries, primarily on the west coast, but the views here cannot be beaten. The pictures don't do it justice. 5/5 Dirt Farm Brewing is absolutely worth checking out if you are in the area. You won't believe the views.

The treat afterwards was the beer & burgers from the food truck. We got the arnold palmer beer i think, and the Fire starter beer - both absolutely delicious and refreshing!

Maybe 12 people seated in the entire room. Took our seats... we were approached after 10 mins. Menus. Waited another 10 minutes. Bartender asks for our order. We ordered our food and he responded, "I wanted your drink order". Really?! Ordered four glasses of water and two apps. We asked for one app to be divided on two plates, bartender said "I'm not gonna do that. They're (kitchen) busy". We sucked down our food and water, asked for the check twice due to being on a time constraint. Dude never acknowledged. My husband finally stopped the bartender, asked for his name. "Brian/Bryan" while walking away. We left enough cash on the bar to cover our bill with a generous tip just so we could get out of there. Worse dining experience we've had an extremely long time. Bryan/Brian's attitude was nothing shy of being inconvenienced. Won't ever return!

Alesatian Brewery is located in the Olde Town section of Winchester VA. It is not easy to find…read morefrom the walkway, it is a single door next to Roma Old Town Wood Fired Pizzeria. I passed it twice. AND, the funniest part is you have to enter through the pizzeria, make a right, go through another door and then up the stairs. When we walked through the other door at the top of the stairs,, it was like walking into a disco. Funk/Disco music jamming in the background, disco ball... taking me back to my rollerblading days. It is a small venue with limited seating, but they do have a full menu including apps, salads and pizza. Everything you'd need to pair with your beer. Impressive! What was most exciting was the flights. THREE 8 oz. Pours for a whopping $12 bucks. Can you say, "Winning!" The BEER: Well... Ya Know Belgian Ale 6.8% ABV... it was a little more hoppy than I am used to in a Belgian, still quite good. Reminded me of Unholy by Coppertial Gen 2 Indian Pale Ale 7.4% ABV... a solid IPA, slightly hoppy and citrusy. LUV IT Hazy Mindset hazy IPA 8.1% ABV... hazy citrus delicious and to be over 8%, you'd never know it. FIRE! Loka Koko coconut Stout 6.7% ABV... semi sweet chocolate and coconut. Like a dark chocolate almond joy. GREAT! Fish Face Meher lemon sour 8% ABV... it had a different taste, it was okay. Life on Marzen lager 6.1% ABV... absolutely awful! Down Unda IPA 7.1% ABV... if you don't like Life on Marzen, you will hate this. Most of the beer was awesome. The service was top notch. They had 2 people managing the bar and they were very attentive. Even for our table in the corner. Didn't get to try the food on this visit, but I will return.

Beers were pretty decent. I really enjoyed the Toasted Lager, Helles and Irish Red -- I am a more traditional beer drinker. But they have a huge selection from dark and toasty to fruited to IPA. I think you would easily find at least one beer here that everyone in your party would enjoy! PLUS - food is pretty good. It's not gourmet, but it is a cut-above some other local breweries for sure. I wasn't overly hungry so I had the chicken and lemongrass potstickers, which were extremely tasty... really enjoyed :) The atmosphere is great and there are lots of tables inside and outside. I think you might need to reserve special outdoor seating around fire pits, etc., but there is a significant number of first come, first server tables as well. We were a part of 8 in the middle of the afternoon and had no issue finding a table on a sunny Saturday. Their outdoor area is expansive and family and pet friendly too. Be on a look out for their various events and vendors on their website to see what else to check out while you are enjoying the brews.
