Last visit to Quattro Goombas, they had a Belgian Quad which was decent.

Perhaps a bit far too west for OP, but we love visiting Dirt Farm in Bluemont for the epic views (next door to Bluemont Winery), Bear Chase (reliable variety), and esp. for weekday happy hours More Better beer garden (fantastic German beers for $3/$4/$5 after 3pm/4pm/5pm).

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)



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...
