Very good brewery in a small town. It's tucked a little behind an adjacent restaurant, so not…read morevisible until you're right up on it. I was looking for good beer for a local gathering, and searched through several breweries. I was interested in the options here that are diverse, yet small and curated. I opted for the rye cold IPA, Rye Hard With A Vengeance - this has a strong rye flavor with almost a rye bread note to it, the hops weren't as pronounced as I prefer but the result is an overall good balance that to me leaned almost toward a dark lager. The Turtlenecks & Blazers is what I'll return for - a deceptively easy to drink 6.6%. The pronounced hops and slight fruitiness are one of the better IPAs I've had recently. It doesn't veer into dank bitterness or overboard with citrus, while also not being a flat boring middle-of-the-road IPA. A great pour, and I was disappointed there wasn't any canned when I got there. The only thing I'd improve is the seating, which is a personal impression. The white tiles and bright lights are a bit too much in my opinion, by softening the interior just a little it would be somewhere I'd hang around.

This place had a lot of unique brews and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had some food options both internally and nearby. The fact that there aren't a lot of breweries in the area definitely helps for competition. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely be back.

Huge place with lots of outdoor, patio seating. Some people had tables reserved for bdays. I got an Arnold Palmer (it's in a can) and my friend got a broad run blonde. We got the fried Mac and Cheese ($9), which came with ranch. It was good but not the best fried Mac I've had. It seems like they had plenty of activities (axe throwing and cornhole- seemed to be for an extra fee). Kids seems to enjoy the playground area. It might be nice to have a walking path. Seemed very family friendly, with lots of kids running around- but it didn't seem cramped or crowded due to the sheer amount of space. Would come back.

For some context, my…read morehusband's family are the "original" 4Js - Jared, Josh, Jane and John so of course we HAD to check this place out. There was a huge outdoor space for kids and families complete with some games and picnic tables. We sat in the closed-in porch area and were treated to some live music on a Saturday. The beer was solid - hubby. and I split a flight and enjoyed the marionberry wheat and Sweet Nala stout. We liked their logo "Soil to Suds" and bought a few shirts - they even had a bunch of shirts on sale for $5! Great place for family time at a brewery.

Visited The Four J's twice now since it has opened. Once on a Friday evening; once early on a cool,…read moremisty Sunday. The place has a cool looking vibe and ambiance from the outside. There is seating both inside and outside. The inside is a bit stark on the inside with drywall on the walls and ceiling. I woulds have loved if they had lined the walls and ceiling with something like pine. I've sampled a number of their brews. My fave brews thus far are two ales: - Snafu (Strong Ale) - The Donkey Calleth (Imperial IPA) They have a small popcorn machine for snacks (which is free) - but other than that, as far as I can tell - there are no other food options. The folks who run the place are super nice. There is no WiFi network and they currently do not accept Apple Pay. #FourJsFarmAndBrewery

Very family friendly, plenty of place to run around and the food comes out quick (no specific kids menu but the grilled cheese was a huge hit). The Director of Operations, Kat, was lovely, came by our table to chat and shared a little more about the makers market they were hosting and some of the special events (Monday bingo night!!) they have going on. The food was not only quick but also delicious -- I will be dreaming about the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls tonight. My uncle was in the mood for a burger which wasn't on the brewery menu but they did have at a food truck outside!! Not a beer girl but I tried one and it was great (I think called the one sip wonder). TVs and lively atmosphere, could've spent the whole day here!!

BLUF: Popular venue on a nice day that gets very crowded. Parking is tough when busy. Food &…read morebeverages are pricey. Food seemed ok but not outstanding. Limited menu that seems more like the strategy is to see how many transformations of basic pub grub one can do. Not necessarily elevations but more like combinations of limited ingredients & heated quickly. Lots of seating but not really enough if you have kids. Come early on a busy day, if so. And, keep an eye out so that you don't get bonked by a ball, running children, jump ropes, bean bags, frisbees, cricket bats. Dogs on leashes allowed outside, so watch your step. Poop station available. Not too impressed by the menu. Unimaginative, quickly assembled bar food. Small portions. High prices. The food being brought out by staff didn't look or smell enticing enough to order anything. I'm guessing people enjoyed the booze. I think food trucks visit occasionally. It's a place good for gathering, and the kids entertain themselves. Not many appealing options for drinkers of beverages not containing alcohol & the few available are expensive. Staff seemed nice, polite, generally helpful. Are there staff enforcing rules so that you don't get bonked by a ball or bat on the patio? Not so much. When it's crowded, the grounds can get awfully squishy, but once you find a good place to sit, it's nice to kick back with friends and family. Worth the drive? For some. I'd definitely not drive out for the food. But if you're in the area and want to take a break, and it's not crowded, then it's a convenient place to pull off and stretch your legs. Enjoy a beverage, if that's your thing. They have an event space for private events, so if that's your need, give 'em a jingle.

Tucked back, a little out of the way and a bit on the small side, this is a great local brewery…read more They have a good selection and variety of beers on tap. Read that as not everything is an IPA or so similar that it might as well be, as seems to be the case at many places these days. There is something for everyone. Really enjoyed a couple of very non standard brews with peach and pineapple that were very good and not over done. The Punk-tin was also very nice. Lastly, the King Midas is something you likely won't find anything close to at another brewery. It alone is worth a visit. I don't get out that way too often, but my will plan to stop by whenever I do.

You can also order food from the local pizza place to be delivered to your table and they frequently have food trucks and live music. You stand in line and order your beers before finding a table, no table service. We were there for Fathers Day, so the lines were a little long, but they kept things moving along. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and a lot of the outdoor seating is covered so it's still usable on a hot or rainy day. This time around we all chose beer flights so we could sample some new brews. Yes, they have flights! I chose 4 stouts, of which the cinnamon churro and caramel macchiato were my favorites. Plenty of parking in a private lot and easy access round out the positives. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

The service was excellent, the staff was friendly, and the other guests (mostly regulars) made for great company! Powers only serves beer, but they do have a food truck rotation that comes through, so make sure to check their website before visiting to find out what's being served that day. The beer selection is decent and has something for everyone's taste. There is plenty of indoor seating and just as much outdoor seating, so you won't have to worry about standing up the whole time even when it's busy. Outside they have a Corn Hole setup and they also had a soccer ball you could kick around if you wanted to. To add to the outdoor ambiance, there was also a chicken coop that you could walk up to and look at. Also, if you're around during the evening, they might get the bonfires going! One of favorite parts about our visit was being able to enjoy my porter outside by the bonfire. All-in-all, it was a pleasant surprise and definitely worth a visit if you're ever out in Midland, VA or just won't to do something outside the city if you're in the DMV area.
