We stopped in on a Sunday around 12:30 and found the place empty. Turns out all the folks in the area are enjoying Lake Anna and don't come out till they're done with the sun. The bartender was very nice, poured us a nice flight of their beers and let us chill for a bit. We didn't try any of the food. None of the beers jumped out at me as extra special but everything was drinkable and they have a nice variety of styles, so something for everyone. The tasting room is nice, and there's a nice amount of outdoor space as well. We live visiting breweries around VA so we're glad we stopped in.

I really want this place to be successful. But every time we come, it never works out. As soon as you walk into the building, it smells absolutely terrible. They don’t play music when the band’s not playing, which is absolutely ridiculous for a brewery. The bartender was completely rude. This place has so much potential but they’re missing the entertainment point of why people come to a brewery.There is no food truck, No food available. I’m not sure that’s even legal in Virginia. Beer is good but no vibe.
