will keep in mind for the future, but not quite in fitting with "west/south of IAD" part of this weekend's mission
Between yesterday and today, I managed to get to:
- Lark Brewing -- note, can only legally be entered from the southbound direction on US15, though you can turn left when exiting. Decent beers and food, and an airy/expansive indoor area plus a bunch of different outdoor areas. They also have wines and I think other beverages, which I didn't pay a lot of attention to so dunno the range there
- Quattro Goombas, which is located on the other side of the US15/US50 junction from Lark not too far away, which is a winery that also has a craft beer brewery; also pretty decent beers
- Mustang Sally, which seems to have recently merged with Bunnyman? They also happened to be hosting a taco/salsa festival with food trucks etc. in the parking lot today, though I just went inside for beers and a sausage from Eugene's. Beers were all right, maybe a notch lower than the prevoius two
- Honor Brewing/Loudon location, also largish indoor/outdoor areas but also not as fond of the beers (not bad, just didn't really grab me)

can also recommend
Ono Brewing in Chantilly from a couple visits (one with
DELee) around the same time … iirc they have a self-pour pay-by-the-ounce tap system
I wasn't enamored of Ono's beers (still self pour sytsem); the bbq was good though.
Had intended to visit Ocelot last before heading home, but decided I wasn't feeling it today and will save it for next time...
