An excellent local brewery located in the heart of Leesburg, Va.
If you’re interested in true German style beers, then this is the place for you. Black Hoof Brewing Co. specializes in German style beers, and they do a fantastic job of getting it right. I tried their award winning Reh Of Sunshine Helles, and I also had a pint of the Poachers Pilsner. Both excellent beers.
The taproom is warm and inviting with a bit of German theming to go along with the German style beer offerings. They also have a small beer garden out back as well as a few standing bistro tables in front of the establishment on King St.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their beer and happy to offer suggestions.
Food offerings are very limited. I believe they only have Bavarian pretzels and a beer and cheese flight. I didn’t try either of these options.
It’s worth noting that the bistro tables out front attracted a fair amount of cigar and cigarette smokers on both of my visits. It was only mildly annoying when the wind was blowing the smoke my way. And as we were outside, and it was breezy, the smokiness was minimal.
I would definitely recommend a visit to this brewery. Prost!
I love the VMFA. With over 500,000 square feet of exhibition space on a thirteen acre campus, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has so much to offer. Whether your interest is ancient Egyptian art, Cubist paintings or Russian jewelry, this museum has something for everyone.
There’s a cafe on the main level with outdoor seating that looks out over a reflection pond and the beautifully landscaped sculpture garden.
The museum gift shop is large and full of all sorts of great artsy things.
This is easily one of the best museums in the country. And it’s free!
There is a parking garage, which does have a fee, but it’s possible to find free on street parking, as long as you don’t mind walking a block or two.
I highly recommend a visit to this museum.
