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!

Same thing for their policy of closing your tab and adding 20% gratuity a second after closing time. I can understand enforcing this policy 5 minutes after closing (maybe?) but the second after? On top of that the girl working there refused to give us a receipt. Just horrible attitude and service. Way too many breweries out there with friendly faces and that will give you at least a 5 minute grace period to close out and gladly tip them what they deserve. Never going back

When you enter thru the front doors there is a seating area to the right and the bar area to the left. The inside is nicely appointed with wood floors. You can self seat on the outside terrace. The terrace is covered and has a section for the band. We were set up on the terrace at a table and started a bar tab. We had several choices of beer and wine. I tried the rose and sparkling wines. My other friends tried the beer. There are several food selections to choose from. I would return to try again. We didn't try the food since we brought our own. Check it out. P.S. The winery is dog friendly inside and out.

The interior gives upscale sports bar vibes. We chose a high top table toward the back of the restaurant. Our server ended up being the bartender too. They had $5 margaritas that night so I ordered one and we started with an order of their pierogies. There were four and they were served over a smear of their beer cheese. There were ok. I wanted more seasoning in the filling itself. It was pretty bland. For my entree I got their hot dog with chili and cheese with their housemade chips. I was pleasantly surprised to see a cheese sauce on the dog. It was pretty good. Some of the chips were pretty overcooked. The service brought this score down. I think the bartender was busy but plenty of servers were available. There was a lot of conversation at the bar. We probably should have just sat there. We missed out on drink refills, having our order taken promptly, and getting the check when we were ready to leave. Overall there were a lot of interesting things on the menu. I would want to return to see what else tasted good.

I visited Morais Vineyards for the first time yesterday to celebrate a dear friend's birthday, and…read moreI truly didn't know what to expect since I had never heard of it before. From the moment we arrived, I was completely blown away. As we parked and walked toward the field--with gazebos and a dock with seating--I immediately noticed how kid-friendly the vineyard is. The playground setup was incredibly creative and perfect for sparking a child's imagination. I honestly wish I had known ahead of time because I would have brought my little one! The property itself is beautiful and very well maintained. There were horses roaming around, which added such a peaceful charm. As we explored, I kept noticing thoughtful and unique touches everywhere--from a stunning wine tree to large decorative clay pots, and even buildings designed to resemble a Greek town that house classic cars. It all made the experience feel extra special. There was a wedding taking place, so part of the property was closed off, but it was easy to see how perfect this venue would be for an intimate "I do." Inside the main building, they offered a great selection of food, an impressive wine list available by the glass, bottle, or flight, and hands down the best wine slush I've ever had. My only critique is that it seemed like the AC wasn't working inside, and I really felt for the bartenders who were working so hard as it got busier throughout the day. Overall, I absolutely loved this place. It's one of the few spots that truly caters to both adults and children, and I'll definitely be back.

Tastings come with a small snack plate of cheese, meats crackers and chocolate. Wines are primarily Portugal varietals. We enjoyed most of the wines we tried and bought a few bottles as well.

Gnarly Hops & Barley Fest is a craft beer festival held in Culpeper, VA. The 2015 Gnarly Hops &…read moreBarley Fest was my first visit to this event. It is recommended you pre-purchase your tickets online. There is a limited number of tickets. If there are any left the day of the event at the gate - they are priced at $35.00 per ticket (which is $10 more than they cost online). The tix are provided via EventBrite - so we used the EventBrite app on our iPhones to digitally present our tickets. We had to show ID at a tent outside the gate, then were given a blue wrist band, showed our tix to get in, and were then given a small beer glass with 10 tickets for beers. One tasting per ticket. The event runs from 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm. It was a cold, overcast day with a threat of rain - and yet the place was packed to the gills! There was a stage set up with live music, lots of food vendors, and over 30 breweries to sample from. We hit a number of breweries - and not all of them. Some we intentionally skipped for various reasons (Dogfish Head - we've drank many of their beers), Anheuser-Busch (NOT a craft brewery - EPIC FAIL! I don't classify Shock Top as a craft brewery - which I guess makes me a beer snob!) We sampled beers from Blue Mountain Brewery (Afton, VA); Schlafly Beer (St. Louis, MO); Devils Backbone Brewing Co. (Lexington, VA); South Street Brewery (Charlottesville, VA); Legend Brewing Co. (Richmond, VA); Wild Wolf Brewing Co. (Nellysford, VA); Apocalypse Ale Works (Forest, VA); Duclaw Brewing Co. (Baltimore, MD); and more... One thing that I will massively ding the event organizers on - is the availability of Don Jons. They were a total of 13 of them - and the line to use them was very long. It took 25 minutes of standing in line to get to the front of the line. They need to double or triple the amount of Dons Jons for future Gnarly Hops. With that many folks sucking down beer, it needs to go somewhere... fast... Great event, we had a fun time, just did not appreciate the standing in long lines to drain the beer...

We came early and had free admission to the event. The festival offered unlimited tastings of the various beers. There were a few breweries that were flying through their beer. Wicked Weed and Far Gohn were probably the most slammed. I poured beer from Parkway Brewing in Salem. The food trucks all smelled great. Parking was a bit hectic, we ended up just paying a local church to park there around the block. I guess that is what we get for coming a little after opening.

It was worth it and we all agreed, I scored the best dish at the table. It was delicious! (Said everyone). The waitresses were very attentive. So much so, we had 3 different waitresses asking for our order once already ordered. 3 waitresses asking do we need anything else. 3 waitresses asking if we're good. After we paid, another waitress came over and asked us if we were ready to pay. We dismissed the confusion and waved off all the drama but really, though, every waitress who addressed us everytime, was a Lot, all of those women, everytime, had smiles on their faces and were happy that we were good to go.
