Local NOVA Beers

Can't get Bells in NJ

I'd check out Adroit Theory, also in Purcellville, there is a TW in Springfield, closer than going to McLean from Burke...

 

There is a new one that just opened in Purcellville as well, havent been yet but its called Belly Love. It should be pretty close to the adroit theory area.

 

Went here the week of Christmas. They have a ton of taps but nothing out of the ordinary. At least they could not tell me if they did because the staff was not hired for their beer knowledge. I would call it a sports bar/restaurant. At the right time of day it could be considered family friendly other times it will feel like a bar atmosphere. It was loud when I went at 7pm on a Tuesday but it was the last happy hour before Christmas eve so I wasn't surprised. Low lighting, a huge bar and a fair amount of tables. Food was pretty good but a little expensive. With all of that said it is a good step up from what has been available in Springfield.

 

I went last night with family. Definitely more adult oriented than family friendly. Lots of taps but kind of disappointing. Lot of the national standards and a few locals. Sadly they ran out of 3 Brothers the Admiral. Food was decent and the place a packed at 6:00 p.m. with a 30 min wait for a table. Oh and beers aren't cheap. $6-$7 for a pint. Would rather go to Ledo's in Springfield. Great deal on good beer on the weekends. $4.44 for all craft pints. Small tap list but decent.

 

My buddy went last weekend and they were out of Admiral then also. I have a feeling it will be a reoccurring theme there. "I am sorry we are out of that. Choose from our list of 10 similar ipas you have had numerous times"

Ledo's has surprised me with some good stuff even though they have a small amount of taps. It's funny that they have a better tap list then Gdays which has double the taps if not more. If I want a quick beer near my house I go to Forge or Ledo's.

 

Hopefully you were able to find a good spot for dinner and beers?

 

Sorry to hear that.

 

They have been carrying the peach sour at the Sterling Total Wine as well....same price.

 

Do they still have the peach sour at the Sterling TW? Anything else at that store worth grabbing? My sister in-law is coming in town from there. I don't always trust TW's website.

 

I've bought them direct from the brewery for $12. All of them are very good.

 

Thanks to this thread I went out and picked up a few of those peach sours and it's FANTASTIC as previous folks have said. Looking forward to more sours (hopefully) from Lost Rhino!!

 

Does Lost Rhino have the Peach Sour available all of the time?

 

I don't know but the one time I went there a few months ago they had about 4 different sours, I had the non-fruited one and it was great. The peach is just the only one that has made it to a retailer so far. It seems like all the TWs in the area have it, I was at the one in McLean last week and they had it too. Stocks are starting to run low though.

 

+1 for Corcoran. It's a winery as well, but the Brewers are pretty cool guys. They have one offering called Round Hill Root Ale that is terrific!

 

I was at Lost Rhino last weekend and they had 3 sours available. I picked up a bottle of the peach, but haven't tried it yet.

 

The peach is awesome, such a surprise coming from Lost Rhino

 

I will be going through Ashburn Sunday. I might have to stop and grab a bottle

 

I would for sure, if you don't make it to the brewery I know that the Total Wine in sterling 2 weeks ago had a few boxes displayed towards the back corner of the store. I picked up 4 bottles of it that day.

 

Cool. Thanks
