My husband and I stopped in for a round of drinks while in town. The beers weren't bad and I loved sitting at the stools in the window to people watch everyone strolling by. read more

I really wanted to like this place better. The ambiance is great and the brewery is a nice balance between a sports bar and a microbrewery that I was going to be a regular. However, something isn't quite perfect about the beer which leaves me at a 3.5 or 4 out of 5. But the staff is pretty nice and I give props to places that can provide a solid flight with different options. I wouldn't necessarily skip it but I wouldn't hold your breath either. read more

Still my favorite brewery. If you like great, fresh and cold German beers, this is the place. No fru-fru beers! Just traditional German beers. Give it a try. read more

Everyone was accommodating in the early afternoon when we came here. Not many patrons so service was really good (could be all of time) we had 2 beers, one Kolsche and one stout. The stout was really tasty but personally, I did not enjoy the Kolsche. To me it had no flavor or not one that I am used to with a Kolsche anyway. Overall, I'd be willing to go back and try out another couple of beers just didn't have time on this outing. read more

Flavorful German style beers. Very good salted pretzel. Great location. If you are a local brewery explorer I recommend you try.

I stopped in for a quick beer at Black Hoof Brewing while visiting Leesburg for the day. The beer was good, the service was a bit off. I asked what "Black Hoof" referred to and the beertender looked at me like I was growing deer antlers. "The owner likes to hunt deer. It refers to deer hooves." Okay, thanks for the explanation. Anyhow, cool place, good beer (I had an IPA) with tables out back and a few tall table to stand out front while keeping on eye on the main street in Leesburg. Fortunately, I struck up a friendly conversation with a local out front and that made my visit quite nice. Overall, a cool place. 4 stars read more

Drinks (4/5): We got the Poison Arrow Gose (3/5) and the Island Pond Hefeweizen (5/5). The hefeweizen had a nice citrus flavor. The gose had a very light flavor. *This place is dog friendly and allows you to bring them inside! So many furbabies!* I'd come again for the hefeweizen. read more

Super cool interior design. Good place to hang out. Didn't love their lighter beers. It just had no flavor or carbonation as much as other breweries. Service was excellent. Definitely try the beer first, ask for a sample. read more

No point in not coming here! Good beer, Cool place!!! I'd definitely come back! Today was Sing-a-long!

Quiet when we walked in, but it got rowdy quickly. Teachers last day of school, and apparently they were out to celebrate! Have to say they earned it. Could not do that job. Anyway, the beer was good. We also had a pretzel, which is the only food they serve. However, you can bring in food. read more

Black Hoof Brewing is located in downtown, Old Town Leesburg, VA. We visited one rainy Sunday afternoon. We parked in the public parking garage behind the craft brewery (parking is free on weekends). The Green Bay Packers vs. Washington Redskins game was on on the flat panel HD TV's throughout the brewery - and there were a lot of fans for both teams present watching the game - clad in their respective NFL team jerseys! My friend did one tasting flight and then had to leave - I stayed and tasted all the beers on hand over multiple flights: Doe-Eyed Blonde Ale (3.5 stars on Untappd) Poacher's Pilsner (2.75 stars on Untappd) Reh of Sunshine Helles (2.5 stars on Untappd) Island Pond Hefeweizen (1.75 stars on Untappd) Crossbow Kolsch (3 stars on Untappd) Opa's Festbier (3.25 stars on Untappd) Falcon's Prey IPA (3 stars on Untappd) Poison Arrow Gose (3 stars on Untappd) I feel like Black Hoof Brewing embraces a very "Germanic" approach stylistically to brewing - which from a flavor profile perspective - I do not enjoy as much as I do other approaches and styles. But clearly a lot of folks like this style based on the reviews and how many people were in here enjoying their beers. Nice ambiance and the staff were very friendly! #BlackHoofBrewing read more

One of two good local brewpubs in Leesburg with the word 'Black' in the name, because confusion is good I suppose. Scene: July Saturday afternoon. Some customers but still plenty of available seating. Half a dozen beers on tap, we get a flight of four: the radler, the marzen , the dunkel and the Hefeweizen. All four were solid, good beers. Bathrooms were clean. Service was helpful and professional. Totally worthwhile experience. read more

This is one of my most favorite breweries. They do German style beers, all are delicious and they do some experimental stuff, but not much. You don't have much food to choose from but this is a brewery after all. Yet, still, their pretzels are delicious. And I am really serious about pretzels. I am just a little bummed that I can't have ALL the beer whenever we stop here because we have to drive. I need to come here again. read more

I have been to this brewery multiple times. I tend to like their lighter beers. I know they have a lot of darks so if you're into that check this place out. They have a small food menu but I have never tried. This past time I tried their light beer which they added lemonade too and it was very tasty. One of many breweries in Leesburg that I usually stop at when brewery hopping. read more

This brewery proudly boasts a German/European vibe. The Stout was a rich sipping beer and the Schwartz beer was definitely a rich sipping beer as well. We were intrigued by the small antler decor on the wall from a roe deer commonly found in Europe read more

"Germany meets Loudoun" is the best way to describe this place. I visited on the Saturday of their soft opening and was very impressed. They had a lineup of 7 beers and I tried all of them - I couldn't stop! The location is in downtown Leesburg, so it's easy to find. It feels more like a small bar than a brewery, but don't be deceived; these beers are equal or superior to its brewery neighbors. Bill the owner was working the bar, and he was happy to chat. Bill explained how he traveled thru Germany and found the beers in the small towns were the most interesting brews of all, so he modeled this place off of them. The lineup shows it! Even the hops are brought in from Germany. Hefeweizen: Very good, and my favorite of the bunch. Cloudy, soft - the perfect expression of a Hefe, and possibly my favorite in the state. This alone helped push my rating to 5 stars. Helles: Another winner. Wheat-y, light. Second most favorite. Porter: Not heavy, but nice malty notes. Liked it. Blonde: It's hard to go wrong with a blonde ale, but I think this was above average. Marzen: I never see this Oktoberfest themed beer in local breweries, so don't have much to compare it with. I liked but didn't love this style. Maibock: Some hops but not heavily hopped. Again, liked but didn't love it. IPA: I'm not an IPA fan but others loved it. Lighter bodied than other IPAs but still bitter. read more

I agree with Matthew that the feel is more of a bar than a brewery-and while there is nothing wrong with that what so ever, they could certainly use some help in the acoustic department. I often times couldn't hear my husband or our friends to carry on a conversation sitting across the table from him/them. We didn't last more than about half an hour here since it was so hard to communicate with each other. The set up is simple, there is a large bar towards the back, there is a chalk board on the wall indicating what's what, and there is lots of seating, kind of in clusters, so it's easy to accommodate either small or large parties. While I was there this past weekend, there were folks coming off the bike trail, folks coming in to grab a quick drink pre(?) wedding, and families with kids just hanging out. Everyone seemed happy, and I can certainly understand why, the folks that work there are quite lovely and their beer is quite tasty. I was DD, so I nursed a yummy Oatmeal Stout. My husband got a couple of samples and shared with me though, so I did try several others. My second favorite was the Hefeweizen, it's a solid choice. With such a wonderful location, great staff, and solid beers I think Black Hoof Brewing will do great! read more

Pretty solid brewery, at least from what we saw. Yes, there food options aren't vast but eat at one of the awesome local places nearby and then come in for a beer. There outdoor seating areas were really popular on a Friday night so we sat inside. I appreciated the touch that they had charging ports everywhere. I liked their basic beers and service was quick. It looks like if you pay/are a regular, you can have a special signed stein for you to be served in. read more

The best place to go for a some of the best best beers and they also have an award winning selection. Customer service is tops and the location is a great one in the middle of the life of the town. read more

Another great craft brewery right in the heart of historical downtown Leesburg. They focus on English and German style ales. We were most impressed with the Falcon's Prey IPA (7.5% ABV) and the Deep Cover Oatmeal Stout (5.3% ABV). They have pretzels and beer cheese, but no other food. That said, they are ok with you bringing take out from elsewhere. We recommend a burger from Melt or tacos from Senor Ramon Taqueria. Both will pair well with the beers here. read more

We stopped in for the beer and cheese pairing Sunday (6/4). Excellent selection of cheese that paired very well with the beer. However, the service was.... dare I say.... awful. I can understand being short staffed, but the bartender was not at all friendly, did not acknowledge the wait, and lacked any resemblance of hustle to help the limited amount of guests. It is true what they say.... no amount of great food (or beer) can make up for poor service. read more

Black Hoof is home to my husband and my favorite beer - the Island Pond Hefeweizen. We always love coming in for an awesome time and delicious beer. There is a great Bavarian pretzel to snack on while you're there, but you can also bring in your own food if you're looking for something different. If you're looking for the best beer in Leesburg, definitely stop by Black Hoof! read more

Nice place in historic Leesburg Va.....The brewery sounds very very very British...Good beer,good vibe....

Nice beer selection! I don't have a super long review for this spot but I'll leave my overall impressions. *Beer - I ordered a flight and can honestly say all the beers were great. It's been a few weeks since I've been but I don't recall having anything that I didn't at least enjoy. *Pretzel - this is a must if you're hungry and get beer. Wasn't expecting much but their pretzels are delicious. It was warm, buttery, and came with two tasty dipping sauces. Would def order again the next time that I stop by. *Seating/Interior - very spacious and has plenty of seating that can accommodate larger groups. They also have a corner full of table games and toys to keep your group busy while chugging beers. read more

Quaint German brewery in downtown Leesburg. This was the first spot for our group during the June 29th pub crawl. There was a decent crowd when we arrived. The beer was cold and delicious. They had approximately 10-12 beers on tap. We didn't eat but I noticed a small food menu and it seemed most people were choosing the pretzel - which looked delicious! They also have a few TVs located throughout for sports viewing. read more

A really great place to enjoy a pint of the local brew. Stand outside to take in the cool downtown atmosphere or have your tasty beer inside this quaint bar. Definitely stop by and enjoy one of Leesburg's fine breweries and say hello to the owner who is usually there meeting and greeting the patrons. read more

Cute brewery in downtown Leesburg, but the service and especially the beer were just a tad underwhelming. Several styles available, but none were memorable and a couple missed the mark completely. Tight space inside and out. Ambiance and vibe so so. Standard food-service pub fare. Worth a visit if you love beer and are in town, but prolly wouldn't go out of my way to visit. Drink local! read more

Great beer!!! Forget the names of the beers but did the IPA, Pilsner, Hefeweizen, and the kolsch. All beers true to style with no funny business (hope that's not taken the wrong way). Easily the best local beer we had. Thanks for also accommodating my channel change request to watch college football read more

Came from Frederick to enjoy Leesburg's downtown scene. A+ brewery. The beers were light, cold and clean- no hangover! Customer service polite and quick. Lots of space to drink indoors and out. Will come back again very soon! read more

Black Hoof Brewing is centrally located in downtown Leesburg. Upon walking in, you feel more like you're in a bar rather than a small brewery. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy your beer as well as a decent sized bar. The staff was welcoming and encouraged us to take our time as we decided. We ordered a flight to share and pretzels. Beer and pretzels really go well together. The beers at Black Hoof are more English and German ales. The beers we tried were really good. My favorite was the Marzen- a good drinking beer. The pretzels were warm and come with a side of mustard. Mmm I'm still dreaming of the pretzel. Overall a good spot to get a drink and people watch. read more

Great atmosphere! The decor is very homey and the bar tenders are all very friendly. I'm a fan of their Off Road Radler beer that is currently on tap, as well as their current IPA , kolsch, pilsner (not sure of their names). It's great that they have a range of different beers, and just about all of them are delicious. They are also starting up trivia which I'm excited to try, and they have a nice selection of board games to play. I just wish they served food besides the pretzel, but they do welcome outside food to eat there! Their prices are also a bit steep, but the glasses are all fairly large, they are nice craft beers, and for the area it is definitely on par of other drink prices. read more

Several visits have proved good beer and an excellent community of people. But tonight stood out enough for me to leave a recommendation. Black Hoof participated in TASTE Leesburg, a downtown festival with food, drinks, vendors and an all pedestrian area. For $3, customers bought tickets for beer tastings at a general booth, redeemable at any of the brew booths. Well, they, along with most of the brewers had long lines that ran out of beer. The others closed up for the night, leaving ticket holders thirsty and out the money paid for tickets. Not Black Hoof. They went in and rolled out new kegs. They really showed their class and sense of community by continuing to serve beyond their requirement. We'll definitely continue to support Black Hoof and hope others do, too!!! read more
