    Good afternoon BA,

    First off, I know technically DC is not in this forum, however, figured you all would be a better help for my last question, which entails WV and VA area.

    So brother is getting married later April 28, but we will have a few days to explore around Harper's Ferry, Fredrick, and Leesburg area. We are flying into DC and plan on spending a day there, suggestions on breweries and places to go in DC? On our way out we plan on hitting Aslin for a beer release to have provisions the rest of the weekend.

    Now, the tougher question. We will be out in the HF, Fredrick, and Leesburg area for a few days leading up to the wedding. Does anyone have recommendations on best breweries out in that area? Best beer bars to check out? Even food recs?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Downtown Leesburg is littered with small breweries that you can walk between. A little further out west in Purcelville is Adroit Theory. Along RT 28 is Ocelot and Solace, both pretty tasty.

    Ocelot is very good. Not sure if you are by it but Benchtop is great.

    Hit Church Key bar and grill and DC Brau Brewing if you have time in DC

    I'd do the walking leesburg tour with stops at black hoof, black walnut, crooked run, McDowell's brew kitchen, bike trale brewing, cafe delirium, wild hare (cider), and fireworks pizza. all of these are within a few blocks. could easily make a loop and have enough options to drink at.

    I'd recommend Crooked Run in downtown Leesburg.

    Leesburg as indicated above but also Lost Rhino is in Ashburn and I know there used to be more in Ashburn, but I moved away a few years ago...

    I can't imagine anyone walking after hitting up all of those places.
