Visited Harpers Ferry Brewing recently and honestly the views alone make this place worth the trip…read more The brewery sits up on a hill overlooking the mountains and river, and the outdoor seating area is huge with fire pits, picnic tables, and plenty of space to relax. Perfect spot for a weekend afternoon with friends. We ordered a flight of beers, the Mountain Juice IPA, the Hummingbird Hefeweizen, and their Wicked Pumpkin Ale. Also tried the giant pretzel with beer cheese -- both hit the spot after a couple drinks. The beers were fresh, flavorful, and there was a good variety for everyone in our group. The atmosphere had a fun laid-back vibe with live music playing outside. Definitely recommend getting there before sunset because the scenery is incredible.

They have a Game of Thrones/Dungeons and Dragon kind of theme going on, with cocktails named after the different houses and a page where you can roll for your drink. I went with a flight to try out some of their whiskeys, but they also make gin and vodka. The flight was ok, I find when you make all the things nothing really stands out, but the Everyday whiskey was a nice smooth sip which I very much enjoyed. For dinner I had the smoked brisket which was tasty, but the sides (garlic mashed potatoes, carrots and asparagus) were fire. Service was great, they weren't very busy so it was easy to get a table and get served. Overall I would definitely come back to roll for a random cocktail and enjoy more flights of their other offerings!

Good event crowd and very loud inside - so if it isn't your thing ... probably not attend. They do have seating outside if it gets too much. This was our 2nd time here. We enjoyed the Mai Tai and Thai Chili Limeade hard seltzers - tasty but I think we preferred Guava No Guava beer more. Drink lines were long but the servers were moving them along pretty well. We also had burgers from @Boxcar burgers food truck!! Melissa had the boxcar burger which she inhaled quickly and I had the Inferno burger. Both tasty but I think my burger could use even more spiciness even though it had pickled jalapeño slices, sriracha mayo and pepper jack cheese. Maybe more sriracha and mayo next time. This event Melissa and I just hanged instead of buying more books since we have a stack still to be read from our last book outings.

Plenty of options for seating, whether inside, outside on their deck, or out in the woods. They have a food truck, which I mentioned in my prior review...but the nachos are still BANGIN! Jay and Sandy are really great and provide excellent customer service. My favorite beer is Moonscribe, but even when they're out, I always find something else to enjoy. They have plenty of options to cater to most beer drinkers and alternate quite often. The vibe is chill, and they have events often. Dont miss out on Pines and Needles on Thursdays, where you can bring a vinyl and listen while you enjoy a cold one....one of our favorite nights to attend. Overall, great local brewery that is a must to check out!

Five stars for the chili from the food truck my tip here add it to the nachos and you will have a…read moresurprisingly good plate of nachos. Get extra chili on the side you can dip your chips in. There is no service this is a working brewery people are pleasant enough but somewhat brief and direct. You order your nachos via the code or walk up to the food shack. Where the chef and his lovely wife are so personable and nice with your special requests (no dairy no gluten) that you will come back for a second bowl of chili with his homemade pickles jalapeños. You can walk to the pine forest and eat at a picnic table beneath the trees or sit indoors (some smell of brewery) or eat on their covered patio. Non alcoholic is limited to Boylan creme soda, root beer or water. It is worth the trip imho for the chili - it is very good chili and he is entirely too modest about it.

Pizza is decent, beer has potential, staff is not fully trained. We ordered a ceasar salad and they were out of ceasar dressing. Two of us at the table and they brought a bread basket with one roll in it. Beer has nice flavor yet not poured correctly so it falls flat.

I saw a sign for a winery while en route to another and decided to make a stop. I hadn't heard of…read morethis place and had no idea what to expect. Let me get the "bad" out of the way first, and note this is still a five-star review. You drive up a gravel country road to a small building that houses the tasting room. It's the smallest tasting room I've ever been in, and very simply decorated: a few beautifully framed pieces from the farm's history, some antique tools, and that's about it. This isn't going to be your upscale winery experience. If you're looking for Napa or Bordeaux vibes, you're in the wrong place. The single guy behind the counter turned out to be the owner. He mentioned that his wife usually runs the tastings, but she was on vacation. He was fantastic, fun to talk with, knowledgeable from both a production angle and a "yes, I actually drink these wines" perspective, which is surprisingly rare. He even spoke warmly about nearby wineries, treating them as colleagues rather than competitors. It's always refreshing to meet a winemaker who genuinely enjoys other people's wine. As for the wines: we tried all twelve. A couple were still young and could use a few years in the bottle, but they showed a lot of promise. I didn't care for the Muscat, but most of the others were excellent, and I had a hard time choosing which bottles to take home. Be sure to try the "Trop Elyts"; it's fantastic, and kind of port like. I'm not usually a rosé fan, but their take on it was so unique I bought a bottle of that, too. The farm itself dates back to the 1700s. George Washington probably slept there (he slept everywhere). It's full of character and history, and well worth the stop

There is not strong AC anywhere there. The indoor seating is very small and feels like you're in someone's grandma's living room. Tastings are done in a flight with plastic cups, not one at a time in a glass. We did enjoy the wines and eventually enjoyed talking to the one employee who was there, but it was a rough start. When we entered the tasting room we were the only people there except for one other man. We had to initiate conversation with him to determine if we were in the right place and if we could get a tasting. It was confusing and we didn't feel clear about what to do or welcomed. I did enjoy the Rich Forest Chard, the Rose blend, and the Hogshead Red. It was interesting to learn about the residual sugars and how their rose is different. There is a cemetery on the premises which was an interesting choice.

The server shared her photos from the northern lights the other night and they were spectacular. We met Ginny, the resident pup and had a lovely visit enjoying the tasty ciders.

If you drive a low clearance vehicle, beware. I almost got stuck. The atmosphere is cute and clean; bathrooms were private and clean as well. The employees were very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. We had a flight which was reasonably priced. This is where my compliments end. Not a single person in our party enjoyed a single flavor out of 6. This isn't just personal preference, the taste is bad. A number of reviews reference the taste of nail polish remover and I have to agree. The two stars are only because of the nice workers. I would not recommend to anyone.
