Wheatland Spring Farm Brewery

I initially whizzed past here on my way to Harvest Gap, so decided to roll back down the road to here after my visit. Just like the other reviewers have said this is a real farm setting. A big wide open beer garden sits outside the tap room. There is a loft in the building, over the brew house, very laid back and comfortable. The tap list does favor lagers and farmhouse ales, although I noticed they do have three IPAs on at this time. Of you want to spend a day out in the country, this is the place.

 

 

Vibe - laid back outdoor space with nice views of a field. Lots of picnic tables and chairs to sit at with a good amount of shade
Quality - very solid Belgian and farmhouse style ales. Probably some of the better beer in the area, but it is a little pricey
Service - good and friendly. Nothing really out of the ordinary
Selection - usually 10+ beers on tap, but again, mainly Belgian and farmhouse ales

 

 

A pretty laid back place with nice people taking your order and walking the property collecting glasses and trash. The focus of the brewery is on saison/farmhouse with a reliance on a coolship for many of their beers. They also try to use local ingredients as often as possible, listing said usage on the menu board. There wasn't a wide variety of styles available the day we went, mostly siasons and pale ales of various hop levels, but there was a dozen or so beers overall to choose from.

They appear to have some inside seating, but I didn't note any climate control, so outside at the nicesly shaded picnic tables or out in the sun were the main options. Ordering and pouring wasn't the quickest - it looked like the pours weren't overly pressurized. You could get draft or bottle/can (they even suggested a bottle as being a better deal if you were getting more than one of the same beer). They also had a small menu of sandwiches, and I enjoyed the one that we split as a snack.

Wheatland Spring is on a specious farm with plenty of outdoor sitting as well as indoor barn sitting. There is only one order window, and you pick up the drinks from another window. A great outdoor setting.

I'm a big fan of this place. Solid to great beers (well crafted at worst = solid). Better selection than most in that it doesn't lean to heavily into the IPAs. Food available and ample space to enjoy the outdoors. The lighting and canopy are also nice touches. I haven't had a beer inside but I don't feel I need to. This place rules.
