With 30+ breweries and counting, Loudoun is one of the most vibrant craft beer destinations in the US with a diversity of settings few other regions can match. Hit the LoCo Ale Trail connecting the trendy urban breweries and bespoke taprooms of Sterling, Ashburn and Leesburg in the east, with farm beer gardens and stunning mountain-top beer halls of the Piedmont and Blue Ridge out west, views of the Potomac River, Harpers Ferry or lush farmland below.

On top of tastings, flights and happy hours, there's live music most nights, trivia evenings, multiple Oktoberfest events, Virginia Craft Beer Month in August and an always warm welcome from award-winning local brewmasters eager to showcase hoppy pale ales, crisp lagers, malty barrel-aged stouts and much more.
