I stumbled on this place almost by accident, driving slowly through the tiny "downtown" of…read moreSperryville. I've been to about 50 breweries in Virginia and yet I have never experienced a brewery like this one. As others have mentioned, it's in the basement of the owners' B&B (and it's an old fashioned B&B, not an AirBNB...) The offerings vary by season. I tried the IPA and the Kolsch and both were great. If the weather is warm enough, you can sip your beers in the Biergarten. Or, as the case was yesterday, if it's too cold, rainy, or windy, adjourn to the room next to the taps, which resembles a speakeasy and has 2 chess boards if you feel up to challenging your mind while imbibing. I cannot imagine a cozier place to hang out during cold winter months. The name is amusing - this place is anything but ordinary. But I am reserving one star for a future visit - I want to try out the biergarten. So this review will likely be amended.

We were camping nearby and just wanted to see what was available for us. This was an overall win. The small games allowed our family to hangout at the table and play while we had a few drinks. Our dog ... well dogged and was happy to be out of the camper. Overall, the beer was good, nothing earth-shattering, but they had some very solid flavors. The staff were friendly and it was a great experience. The parking was a bit tight even though we came during an off-time but, it was easy enough to manage.

Inside, lots of gorgeous hardwoods proliferate. A fireplace adorns one end of the tasting room. Lots of seating throughout - with options for games such as Chess and Cribbage. There is also seating outside out back - but it was too cold to sit outside the day we visited. I tasted all seven beers they had available that day. I enjoyed most of them. Nutters Northern English Nut Brown Ale (6.7% ABV) (4 stars on Untappd) Eau du Cologne Kolsch (5.8% ABV) (3.75 stars on Untappd) Stacked IPA (7.7% ABV) (4.25 stars on Untappd) Short and Stout English Stout (4.9% ABV) (3.5 stars on Untappd) Over the Moon Pilsner (5.6% ABV) (2.25 stars on Untappd) Santa's Little Helper Amber Ale (9.0% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Smoke E.

My wife and I decided to take the trip out here from Alexandria for a nice weekend getaway…read more Oktoberfest was going on at the brewery and an apple festival and several other events were happening that weekend, so we weren't able to find lodging close by. However, we decided to still go down and just make it a day trip. I am glad we decided to still go down. Everything was amazing! The views, the wine, the beer, the food truck, and the people! If I could give our experience six stars I sure would! I had never had a wine flight before. Those mini wine glasses were super cute! I was told that this was their first yield of bottled wine since they planted their grapes a few years ago. For them to be new, it was fantastic wine! And then we had the Oktoberfest flight. All of the beers were crisp and had very distinct flavors. Their descriptions fit them all to a T! We were very pleased with both flights to say the least. Since it was Oktoberfest, they had pony rides (we just rubbed her and gave her a little love), a food truck, very nice decorations and live music. I'm glad we got to experience the first Oktoberfest fest there. It will not be out last time visiting. If you want to meet great people while sipping amazing beer and/or wine, do yourself a favor and visit this spot.

The beer was solid - hubby. and I split a flight and enjoyed the marionberry wheat and Sweet Nala stout. We liked their logo "Soil to Suds" and bought a few shirts - they even had a bunch of shirts on sale for $5! Great place for family time at a brewery.

There is seating both inside and outside. The inside is a bit stark on the inside with drywall on the walls and ceiling. I woulds have loved if they had lined the walls and ceiling with something like pine. I've sampled a number of their brews. My fave brews thus far are two ales: - Snafu (Strong Ale) - The Donkey Calleth (Imperial IPA) They have a small popcorn machine for snacks (which is free) - but other than that, as far as I can tell - there are no other food options. The folks who run the place are super nice. There is no WiFi network and they currently do not accept Apple Pay. #FourJsFarmAndBrewery

Didn't try their ciders, but they also had a couple of different options. They sell food and get two thumbs up for their truffle fries and bbq nachos. The fries were piping hot and the nachos a very generous serving! Where the place fell short is on ambiance...especially general upkeep. Tables were filthy, the place just looked like someone stopped caring a while ago. The staff were not overwhelmed with customers but no one seemed to notice or care that the entire inside needed some basic straightening, sweeping and wiping of tabletops. The view from inside to their gorgeous fields could have been used as an asset, but windows were too dirty to be able to appreciate from inside. I believe this could be a cool spot to visit again, but I hope whoever owns/runs it just takes some effort to make you feel welcome and comfortable.

We knew nothing about this place so it was such a great surprise to pull up to such a cute place. I am not a big beer person but i go with the flow. But that didnt matter as soon as i asked what kind of beer do you have for the girl that doesnt like beer the owner said well i have some lemonade here i can make you a shandy. SOLD! thank you for making your none beer liking customers right at home in a brewery. The brewery itself was so cute and cozy and as soon as we walked in i said someone is making chilli and i need it. So we ordered that and the picnic basket. Was blown away because both choices were exactly what i needed. The chili was so yummy and a little bit spicy. The picnic basket had this dip that i could not stop eating even after the bread and the crackers we used to dip were gone. This brewery has board games and what looks like space for live music that would be perfect chill night out. My friends all tried beer and they all liked it. I know nothing of hops and what not so i have nothing to add here but my shandy was great and if we didnt have other stops to make i would have definitely would have a second. if you ever find yourself in virginia and in need of a nice place to hang out, watch the game or if you ware craving chilli, head here everyone is nice and welcoming and you will get good food and drinks

I particularly loved the beer called "cock and pull it" and the oatmeal stout they had. They have limited hours now due to COVID-19, but definitely worth checking out and interacting with locals.
