    Triple IPAs

    We went around to a few breweries in the area and Adroit had the best beers we tasted. The service was great and they let us sample a few beers (even opened up can to let us sample). Had a relaxing outdoor patio. Would recommend if you're a craft beer enthusiast and are in the area.

    The most delicious beers and great vibes! We love coming here when we visit Purcellville. They have so many new and experimental beers coming out often. It's super fun to keep up with their Instagram. Highly recommend coming out here!

    Adroit is my favorite brewery in the DMV. Being that it's a drive from my place, I only get out here once or twice a year, but it's always a highlight! My first visit in the fall of 2019 introduced me to Illusion of Safety fruited sours. Every one I've tried since has been different and I've enjoyed how creative the brewers have gotten in making fruited smoothie beers. From guava to white peach to blood oranges, the favor combinations are always on point. Adroit also has a great selection of IPAs and stouts. I especially love the Dia De Los Muertos dessert stouts. They have different pour sizes so you can try lots of beers and take some cans or growlers home with you. The bartenders I've interacted with have been helpful and knowledgeable about the extensive beer list. The vibe of the tasting room is sparse. You can bring your dog, if they well behaved and since they don't have food, you're welcome to bring your own. They play metal, so if that offends your delicate sensibilities, then I'd suggest that you try elsewhere. They have outdoor seating, though parking can be a little sparse.

    Dog friendly inside and out with some very interesting beers on tap. They have a beer brewed for Halloween using trick or treat size candy bars ( Kit Kats, Reese's Peanut butter Cups, etc.) It looks and tastes nothing like a beer, more like a chocolate milkshake. And, at 12% abv, it'll sneak up on you!

    So, this Adroit Theory is definitely a brewery. It is in an industrial park in the middle of almost nowhere.  Thank goodness we came here during daylight hours, because at night this place would be trecherously hard to find. The inside is intimate.  There is a bar, some high tables, and an area with couches.  The heavy metal music was a little off putting.  But I guess most of the patrons weren't coming here for the ambiance. The Beer was quite good, especially if you like higher ABVs The Beer: Illusion of Safety Gose 4.5% ABV... this is like a smoothie, absolutely awesome Dia De Los Muertos salted Caramel Oreo Imperial Stout 13.7% ABV... so much like dessert, wholy delicious Strange Days Imperial IPA 8%..this IPA is delicious, great mouth feel, slightly sweet Therapy Session Russian Imperial Stout 12% ABV... add some ice and vanilla ice cream, blend and serve, so very good So the beer is exceptional, but the venue is just meh.  I would come here again, but only for some beer to go.

    What a good and unique brewery! We got here less than 20 minutes before they were closing but had a chance to get two 5 oz delicious brews that tasted more like milkshakes and smoothies than actual beer. Sweet and delicious beers were just to my liking. I'm glad I was sharing them with my friend because of the very high alcohol content in each of them. One of them was 12.5% and the other was, I believe, 11.7%. This was a very cool brewery and I've been to many. It wasn't a very large place but there were nice comfy couches and a few TVs around and also an area where you could purchase cigars. Since they were closing soon, I didn't get a chance to look around and seek the actual brewery itself. But I do plan to go back in the future because this was a unique brewery and had quite a different selection of beers. I definitely recommend checking this out. I will definitely be back, hopefully soon.

    I'm partial to stouts and this brewery makes some outstanding ones. I wish they had them all out tap as they only had one when I was there but the canned maple flavored was amazing. Right now is a great time to visit. I wish they had more shade as during the summer days it's way too hot outside. People are super social and talkative outside so the atmosphere's a plus.

    Heretics of IX. My favorite from the three IPA'S we had.
    Alden C.

    I've had several beers from Adroit Theory thus far and so far I'm enjoying my beer experience with them. My first beer was the Heretics of IX which was an Imperial IPA that I really liked. Good piney aspect to that beer. The other was Sanctimonious Enmity which also was an Imperial IPA. This one wasn't bad but I liked the previous one a bit better. The third and last, also an Imperial IPA was the Rebel. Now this was a fun beer more in concept than anything else. Adroit did a G.I. Joe themed beer line featuring popular G.I. Joe characters. I believe there were seven entries to this series and I managed so far to snag two beers from the series. This as to be expected is a very popular series and sells out fast for the t shirts representing the beers to the beer themselves. I believe there were beers based on the Baroness, Destro, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander and there were definitely entries for Storm Shadow, Zartan and Serpentor. The Rebel was the Storm Shadow themed beer. All three beers we did enjoy and despite all three being Imperial IPA and Double New England style beers we could tell the recipe differences with each beer which I can't say always rings true over the years as we have experienced many different kinds of breweries. Sometimes two different IPA's that brewery serves just tastes the same with no distinctive differences. Adroit Theory has some fun t shirts too. I have quite a few of them. I managed to even score a few of the G.I. Joe themed t shirts from that beer series I mentioned but others I was just too slow on the uptake to get the whole series of G.I. Joe shirts. After having three different IPA'S I'd like to explore their darker beers and see what there is to offer for my taste buds there.

    My google review explaining the situation

    Extremely rude customer service/public relations. No reason to verbally attack a past customer who gave constructive feedback and was given poor communication during a prior visit.

    Tasty! Right now they are only open outside at their mobile bar. Only 8 taps The beer I had - the Russia imperial stout was a bit expensive. It was $14 for a 10 oz pour. Good theough Came back again. Much better! The inside room was open, with more beers. Grant was a wonderful bartender.

    Russian Imperial Stout

    Adroit Theory Brewing is heaven for Russian Imperial Stout fans! This place is unlike so many other breweries in the area in good ways. It caters more to people who are serious about beer and local, and less to tourists. They have a diversity of beers but I have been here three times and have gotten no further than variants on their signature Dia De Los Meurtos RIS. Fabulous! They have a wonderful goth theme going and the other beers seem equally bold as the RIS. The only drawback of Adroit is the relative lack of food options. You can get locally made corn chips and salsa or some snack packs of cold cuts. However, since they do allow you to bring in, I would recommend a bag from Monks BBQ to pair with one of their beers! Have to say, due to the beer quality, this place is at the top of my Loudoun County brewery experience...

    Brewery - 5stars Love the beer - 5stars…read moreAtmosphere - 5stars This poor review has Nothing to do with those things, it's the indoor entertainment that's the problem. No not the caliber of players, no not the music genre... it's the volume! Three times we've been with friends and the volume inside is almost an assault on the ears (.. and my wife says I'm hard of hearing!). We love, love, love live music. Local artists? Incredible! But, for the volume of the music to become the focus of the day, you'd best be The Rolling Stones! We may have come out to hear someone play, but most importantly we've visited to share good times with our friends, catch up, and laugh. The music should bring ambiance, NOT be the focus - for us its kinship, beer and socializing, which we cannot do with the volume of the music so loud. We will continued to visit Old 690 but will stay away if they have entertainment indoors.

    TL;DR: Great view, great service, but the food isn't as spectacular…read more The view here is amazing. Pick a good weather day, and you'll enjoy it. There are the usual wine and beer flights if you're unsure, like me. You go up to the bar inside and open a tab, and start ordering. The food pick up is at the attached building right by the entrance to the bigger building. There are plenty of parking spaces, so you won't struggle with that. The pizzas and pretzels we ordered were not memorable in any way. Will I come again? I might probably try a new winery. Take this review with some salt, though. I'm not a wine person. I came to hang out and sample the place if you know what I mean.

    Post thanksgiving drinks and wood fired pizza before we get back to real life…read more The place is clean and structured well. I am missing the "cozy tasting room feel". But the indoor and outdoor fireplaces are a very nice touch. I tried a flight of beers. Most were exceptional. We also got a flight of wines, which was very good. My wife really liked the Ruby. The pizzas are absolutely delicious! Good options for both carnivores and herbivores. The outdoor seating appears to be ample. The weather was cold and windy today, so we opted to sit inside. We normally prefer to sit outside. There are solo stoves out for a warm fire. The view is amazing! Very beautiful. Service is good. Not as friendly as I am used to. We walked it. Looked around and the staff kind of ignored us. It was clear we weren't sure of where we were going. They noticed us and did not say hello. But once we ordered, they seemed to loosen up. The music here is also pretty outstanding. Chill, indie vibe.

    Went to Magnolias today for a family brunch, and this place rarely disappoints. The New York strip…read morewas cooked perfectly. The lacquered salmon wasn't at its best this time, but it was still pretty good. Their assortment of desserts is always well presented, and everything on the buffet stays fresh. The staff constantly comes back to refill the trays with eggs, bacon, fruit, cheeses, and plenty of other choices. I heard the Belgian waffles were a little heavier and not as light as usual, but I typically avoid waffles at an all-you-can-eat brunch anyway--they're mostly filler. If waffles trip your trigger, though, they're there. It's a little pricey, but if you stick with the beef and fish and have a couple of good platefuls, you'll leave full and feeling like you got your money's worth. Magnolias continues to be a dependable choice for a family brunch.

Accordingly, I recommended it to my parents for a special meal, and round two was not as good. We were sat upstairs, which detracted from the ambience substantially, but worse was our server. From the moment she greeted us, we could tell she did not want to be there. She brought red wine in white wine glasses and a bread basket with only three pieces to a table of four people. I pointed this out and requested more bread, so that each of us could have a piece, but she never returned with more as she agreed to do. (Eventually a different server brought us more bread upon second request.) After food was served, I don't recall seeing her to check in until we'd finished eating. Absolutely unacceptable when you're waiting on a table that's putting down more than $250 before tip. Food wise, pretty happy. Fried green tomato was good; pincaha was salty but well cooked (chimichurri overpowering); duck was nice; and pastas were rich. I'd be back but specify that I want a table on the main floor, not upstairs between the bathroom and kitchen. I'd also be on the lookout for the redheaded waitress with the chip on her shoulder.
