And I was madly in love with my sticky mango rice beer -- soooo much so, I'm giving this quaint little brewery spot five whole stars!!! But in fairness of this review, I have more great things to say. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the bartender and regulars. They were so nice! And the area had ample seating for a spot so tiny -- seats at the bar and seats outside too. We were there briefly so I'm unsure if there's food -- perhaps not, BUT if you just want a quick drink or a nightcap, this is THE spot to visit!

Their estate yeast is making some awesomely funky brews. I love different and new beers, and they're one of the only places still making unique ales. The funk on their viola and the sweetness makes the 9%er dangerously quaffable. They've made some incredible saisons and other amazing farm ales. Their more traditional beers are great too- very well brewed. The food is awesome- insanely good sandwiches. The setting is amazing. Kid friendly. Dog friendly. I can't recommend this place enough.

For example, the Yorkshire Bitter (4.7% ABV) is a classic copper colored bitter with Virginia and English Malts hopped with East Kent Goldings. Very tasty and light. Also check out the Mount Vernon's Virginia Porter. Great chocolate and dark roast coffee notes. The taproom and production facility in Ashburn is nothing amazing. They don't have food.

I'm glad we picked this brewery since it had all amenities we were looking for. They have a good selection of food and tons of very reasonably priced drinks. They also have food trucks outside that serve food till 6 pm. The brewery is open till 10 pm and last call is at 9 so no one is rushing people out at sunset. There was also a wedding the day we were there which was so lovely! We got tacos and hot dogs which were great. We also got the dreamsicle frose and a bunch of beer flights to try. We sat inside earlier in the day when it was hotter since the dogs would be uncomfortable in the heat but at 5'pm the weather got real nice so we moved outdoors. They also have an alpaca which the kids went crazy for and also lots of goats. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a great time outdoors with the option of moving the party indoors if needed. They also have live music indoors which we really enjoyed.

We had decided on hot dogs and a pretzel. It was more than filling and tasty. All beef hot dogs and the additions were self serve with so many of Roger's own mustards fixins it was hard to choose. Later we learned that the horseradish was one a friend even raised the horseradish, dried it and powdered it for Roger. Laidback place for Laidback people is a nice motto for here, hospitality is spot on and with an outside area equally as welcoming we will be back. My spouse chose the Banshee Irish Red and I had the Swedish Smoke Show. The story behind the Swedish Smoke Show is one you will have to enjoy in person. The owners are very active in helping the community in many ways and even have formed a Curling team.

We stayed inside because it was cold but there was a nice patio and fire pit outside as well as a stage for live music!

I can't wait to go back when the weather warms up!

A bit bland and didn't quite match the energy of the rest of the experience. Overall, go for the drinks, stay for the atmosphere. It's a beautiful spot to unwind.

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.

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.
