got our tree and now it's time for a brew
Jemily H.

What a great idea to open a brewery/winery right next door to a Tree farm!!! Of course- this fact was a huge reason our family found ourselves here this year. We quickly tied up the tree to the roof and headed on over. We had our two pups so outdoor seating it was! There is plenty outdoor seating overlooking the tree fields with some fire pits and smaller tables. Upon walking up to the building, there was a smoking BBQ food truck! My bf enjoyed some ribs while I went into the tap room to explore the options. The tap room is fairly large, plenty of seating and decorated for the season :) their selection of meads, wines, and brews were impressive!! The service and quick and the small line to order moved quickly too. The lady behind the counter knew the options very well and was able to advise me on my taste :) I opted for a sour ale (what in tarnation cherry) and my bf opted for a citrus ipa. My sour ale was delicious and very tart- just like i like it! This spot is a little tucked away but I did notice people visiting without trees or large families so I'm sure it draws in customers regardless of the location. Absolutely worth the visit. The weather was perfect and sunny regardless of the cold.

Nice little watering hole. I visited on a slow Saturday afternoon before things had the chance to get busy so I had a lot of attention. I did 5 samples (a flight of 4 plus an extra). I didn't find any one I loved but except for the stout I thought there were ok-to-good. My favorite was the schwarzbier, which ironically is a style I normally don't care for. Quite the irony; I didn't like what is my favorite type of beer but liked one that isn't usually my style. I should have asked about food options but forgot to, although I did spy a popcorn machine. They aren't exactly family friendly; they have family days but outside of those days you are only allowed to bring infants and young adults, but no kids in between the ages of 2(?)-14. I've never seen a rule like this. I don't mind, but I can see why it's confusing.

Stopped in one evening, it's an interesting place in the woods, off of Hazelwood Dr in Nokesville. Looks like an old farm, as you drive on a long driveway, passing open sheds/barns to get to the brewery's tasting room. It's nothing really impressive looking, but adequate. They serve their own drinks and items from other places too. They have beer, cider, ale, and wine. Seems that on some night they have a food truck too. I tried a couple of their offerings and they were just OK. The staff seemed friendly.

We stopped in to visit Cedar Run Brewery last weekend - our first visit back since opening day. Since the limitation of opening weekend - of not being able to procure individual tasters - they have remedied this problem. So now if the number of brews available is not in a multiple of 4 (the number of glasses their taster trays hold) - you can order the remaining beers - without having to purchase an entire additional tasting flight! Good on them for quickly addressing this! Since last time - they've introduced a couple of new brews: Bathing in the Rain New England IPA (6.5% ABV) (4.25 stars on Untappd) Brickman Mild Ale (4.7% ABV) (1.75 stars on Untappd) I feel like the brewmaster at Cedar Run really understands the complexity and nuance of IPA's - so far - from my palate's perspective - he has knocked it out of the park on very IPA they've brewed. The Brickman Mild Ale was not my kind of beer. I'm sure it will appeal to many though. I rounded out my tasting flight - revisiting the Lil' Chungus IPA and Evergreen Acres IPA - both really nice, tasty flavorful, hoppy IPAs! It was a hot day out - so the nice cool, air conditioned tasting room was a welcome respite from the summer heat! #CedarRunBrewery

Came out here for Taste of the Mountain (superb, as usual). As to the brewery - a mix of locals, maybe 70/30) and live music tonight (12/30/22). Lively Friday night. Libations? I had the Axe Stout, very, very good. Reminded me of England. Wife and daughter had two different ciders, one mixed with a wine. Both on the sweet side, I liked the blended on better. Next time out, gotta try the in-house food, which , by the rest of the crowd, seems to sell well.

Such an awesome find and got to drink with the owner . Such a fun and welcoming group of folks. I was driving the back road between Manassas and Stafford and saw a sign for Brewery! My car just turned itself amd followed the road . Out in a pasture behind a farm house I found the most amazing brewery ran by Jim Gehlsen. They have 10-15 brews in tap and a dozen wines and ciders. The patrons were so very friendly and invited me to sit at their table to join the fun. Singo, trivial, drag on Monday etc.

Nice Place Someone invited us to this place. I'm a beer lover, and about ten years ago started my interest in craft beers. I loved to try new things. I was the first one in the pool, but I got tired of it, and I had been on a sort of craft beer hiatus. But someone invited us to this place. It's way out. To get there you go down a winding road passing old country houses and farms. Then you turn down a gravel road and at the end you pull up and see this unassuming structure. Inside is very spacious with many tables, a big long bar and a covered outdoor patio that must be awesome during the warm weather. When I was there, they had a guy with an acoustic guitar playing American classic rock selections and folk selections; good background music. Working behind the bar were three attractive, friendly ladies. They were busy because they were serving a lot of customers but not too busy to flash a smile. The place was very clean. The Beer: the beer is little different from the many other craft breweries in the Commonwealth. They have lagers, lights, IPAs, stout and everything else that's trending all with clever names. In other words, the beer is pretty good, but it didn't really knock my socks off and probably isn't going to get me to come all the way out here

Powers Farm & Brewery is a hidden gem that we found out about after skydiving at the local regional…read moreairport. 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.

Powers have their own farm in which they grown their own produce and hops, and they have a brewery on site, featuring their small batches. The grounds are so spacious, beautiful, and there are plenty of picnic tables and chairs around pits for groups. You can definitely have gatherings and special events hosted here! Oh, and did I say that they have chickens roaming around? YES YES YES! So cute. We ran into one of the owners, Kevin, and he was super friendly and welcoming - and, I mean he-was-super-kind-and-unbelievably-genuine-and-amazingly-kind-what-an-awesome-human-being kind of way! If I was a beer drinker, I would definitely make an effort to come out here! Or, I'd just tag along with someone and enjoy the views and the relaxing vibes! Check Powers out! +friendly & welcoming! +beautiful space! +small-batch brews +chickens! +plenty of parking

I was so excited to visit this place after reading all the positive reviews; however, our…read moreexperience was a letdown due to the hospitality (or lack of it). We were here earlier than usual (10:30 am, don't judge me for drinking before noon!!!) and we're the only customers. It's uniquely located at a camp ground, but parking is a bit limited. The tasting room is small but has amble seating. There was a piano in the tasting room and no one was at the tasting room when we entered. My daughter who is a beginner pianist, wanted to play. Since there were no signs on the piano that forbid people touching, she went ahead and played. Then an older gentleman came in and told us in a stern tone that the piano is not for playing. He was not friendly at all and even after we apologized and ordered a flight for sampling, he still was not engaging. I'm not sure if he is the brew master or just someone works for the campsite store, but he didn't seem too happy to be there. We had the 2 stouts, an Amber, and pilsner on tap for our flight. They were all just OK. We didn't want to order more because his attitude and the sense that we were not welcomed there... Which was too bad because it was a nice space with plenty of outdoor seating, a playground in the back for kids to play while parents enjoy some refreshing beer. We will most likely not go back again given the cold-shoulder treatment.

Gentleman behind the bar (the owner, I suspect) was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Quiet and quaint atmosphere. I'm a fan.

For food, we got the chicken tenders, pepperoni flatbread, nachos , eggrolls and the Lark sampler! Everything was made-to-order very delicious! Even though it rained towards the end of our stay, the indoor section and covered patio area is very nice! It was packed with families, people with dogs etc. There was also live music until 4 PM on Sunday. The live music was inside but it was great song selections and it wasn't too loud. And there were big screen TVs everywhere for watching all of the games! Perfect spot to hang out with family and friends drinking great beer and munching on comfort food!

Full Review on Lark - In the grand scheme of Craft Beer in Northern Virginia - Lark is a fairly new…read morebrewery to our area. I've been going to breweries in Northern Virginia for over 14 years now and have seen a ton come and go. From Ocelot, to Old Ox, from Adroit Theory to Aslin, Solace, Honor, Route 7, Wheatland Springs, Dominion, Caboose, Crooked Run, Bluemont, Dirt Farm and probably some more. Bottom line - Lark is your average family get together venue, it rivals with Vanish, Dirt Farm and Bear Chase. Tons of room for the fam to run around and play, however - very limited parking space for the amount of seating areas. The service was okay, as someone who has served Beer and Wine for almost 3 years, I totally understand. However the staff was pretty hard to work with. They would stand behind the counter, they don't make eye contact and they don't ask who's next or really know how to engage the customer. They don't seem to be interested in their own beer. At one point there were 7 employees behind the counter while there were 3 -5 people in line. They should have teamed up and taken care of all 3 - 5 people at once. Pro tip: one person can serve multiple people, you don't need 7 people behind the bar. Get them working, you have waaaaay too many employees and barely any of them know what IBU means. For the beer, if you're a person who uses Untappd, I gave the brewery a 3/5. The beers were okay and probably need a lot more time for research. Why is a pilsner extra hoppy? But if you're really looking for a great venue with amazing service and amazing beer? Annnnnd family time? Hit up Wheatland Springs and you will not be disappointed Save yourself some time and money and just go to Ocelot for good beer and for beer and the family go to Wheatland Springs Lark is fairly new to the game but they're pulling the venue vibe card. Service 2/5 Beer 3/5 Venue 4/5 (Live music outside would take it further)
