We are Virginia’s first Historic Farm brewery! A few short years ago we began brewing in the underside of the manor house, in an attached but separate garage. We have been expanding and planned to moved the brewery to a new building at the top if the hill, co-located in the tap barn! With the interruptions caused by Covid this spring and summer, the move has been delayed to this fall. Although we do not brew every day, please be aware that we may need access to the manor house garage on occasion during your stay. It doesn’t happen too often, but we may actually need to brew for a few hours every couple days during the week. This should not be an inconvenience, nor will you encounter staff in the yard or house space. We want to alert you that grains are stored in the underside of the manor house, and therefore people with celiac‘s disease should be advised. We will keep you posted on when the permitting and electricians are done with our New Brewing space which we expect to be very soon!
