★★☆☆☆

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.

I visited at about 1 in the afternoon on Mother's Day Sunday. I was looking to get some lunch and a beer, I found a great beer, but there was no menu in sight. The bartender seemed to only care about putting me the beer and starting my tab, while i didn't ask, he also didn't mention food. I kinda wanted a second beer, but the service was so slow, even though they were not busy, I finally just paid my tab and left.
