The Beerwerks Trail now includes 19 breweries, and they all serve delicious craft beer. They’re still unique in terms of beer specialty, setting, atmosphere, amenities, activities, and more. The wealth of choices can be overwhelming! Fortunately, we’ve got your back – take our new quiz. It’s easy: just answer a few fun questions, and we’ll give you a customized list of breweries suited to your favorite tastes. Still can’t make up your mind? That’s all the more reason to plan your next multi-day, multi-brewery beercation.
Pick Your Style
While many of our breweries offer a range of beers on tap, we’ll point you in the direction of your favorite style of brew. Want to learn more about beer production? Ask if your favorite brewery offers tours of the brewing facilities. If you’d rather take your research into your own hands, download the Untappd app. You’ll learn what’s popular and on tap, read ratings and reviews, and connect with your friends.
Who Brought the Dog?
Can’t go anywhere without Rex? Fortunately many Beerwerks breweries welcome leashed and well behaved dogs in the taproom or in outdoor spaces at the brewery. Try a night out with your pooch at Skipping Rock Beer Company, Elkton Brewing Co., Queen City Brewing, or Three Notch’d Valley Collab House.
You’ve Gotta Eat
Most of our breweries sell snacks, allow you to bring in takeout, or frequently host food trucks. Several locations even offer extensive in-house menus. Grab a beer and a bite at Seven Arrows Brewing’s Nobos Kitchen, Cave Hill Farms Brewery’s onsite The Feedlot, or Heliotrope Brewery.
What Kind of View Do You Want?
You can’t beat the incredible mountain views you’ll get from Great Valley Farm Brewery and Winery, but the cool, urban vibe you’ll find at Pale Fire Brewing Co. is a lot of fun, too. If you’d rather drink in a cozy, pub-like environment, Shenandoah Valley Brewing Co. or The Friendly Fermenter might be more your style.
Hammock or Happy Hour?
Do you prefer to kick back in one of Basic City Beer Co.‘s hammocks to sip your suds, or would you rather drink and rock out to a wild night of live music at Restless Moons Brewing Company? Several, like Stable Craft Brewing, have fire pits to gather around on those cooler nights. Still others host weekly trivia, lawn games, painting classes, karaoke, open mic nights, and even book clubs. Check brewery events to find your favorite vibe.
Make a Day of It
Most of our breweries have trails within a 15-mile radius. Others are close to scenic waterways for fishing and kayaking. Still more are an easy ride from road or mountain biking opportunities. Those in urban areas provide easy access to shopping, museums, and entertainment. There’s lots to do around Redbeard Brewing Company, Devils Backbone Outpost Tap Room & Kitchen, or Brothers Craft Brewing.
