Twisted Oak Farm Brewery
Tucked into the tranquil countryside of White Post, Twisted Oak Farm Brewery invites visitors to sip craft beer in a genuinely rustic, farm setting. It was the first full‐scale farm brewery in Clarke County, where the barley and hops used in many of the beers are grown on-site, underscoring a deep commitment to sustainability and local terroir. Guests can wander scenic trails, settle by a fire pit or enjoy live music on weekends—all while overlooking the fields that feed their pints. With a welcoming atmosphere for families, pets on leashes, and a rotating calendar of food trucks and special events, it strikes the perfect balance between craft brewery precision and relaxed country charm. Whether you’re savoring a crisp pilsner or a barrel-aged stout, each visit feels as rooted in the land as it is in the glass.
Wild Hare Cidery
Situated in downtown Berryville at on 1st Street, this cozy tasting room from Wild Hare Cider invites you to relax with a flight of eight craft‐hard ciders made from heritage apples grown in the Shenandoah Valley. Expect a laid-back, welcoming vibe where you can sip outdoors or inside, enjoy hand-tossed pizza, and join “Music Bingo” or other live‐entertainment events on weekends. What sets this place apart is its commitment to authentic, drier‐style ciders that retain the crisp apple character—so you’re getting more craft and less sweetness. Whether you’re winding down after a day of exploring or meeting friends for a local beverage, Wild Hare offers a friendly, neighborhood cidery experience from Virginia’s apple country.
