Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery

I have tasted some of the Lickinghole Creek's brew in two restaurants in the DC area. It was excellent when I tried it in DC, and for some time have wanted to drive down and see the brewery. The place is great incredible atmophere. I tried two IPAs and both were exceptional. I started with the Nuclear Nugget Imperial Honey it is filled with hops that are smoothed out and balanced by honey. The honey, like everything else, is made on the Lickinghole Creek Farm. This is one hell of a great brew high on the alcohol content, but one is absolutely something you should try if you are an IPA person. From there I went to the 9 mile IPA. It is much less hoppy, yet a very nice brew. I must also note the friendly atmosphere against the backdrop of rural Virginia and a beautiful farmhouse surrounded by fields and sky that go on and on. And, yes, very very dog friendly!I highly recommend the Lickinghole Creek Brewery and without hesitation can say that it was more than worth the nice drive from DC through the back roads of Virginia.

Been going to this brewery as long as they have been open. Something has changed. Place is overgrown with weeds. Just seemed like they have given up on the outside area. Everything looked tired, no sunflowers, hop garden untouched. Don't think I'll be back.

We went on a windy/chilly Sunday. We love a brewery off the beaten path. Not many people were there, but the bartender was not very friendly or helpful. The venue was not great (seating was not conducive to chilly/cold weather and it was pretty basic (which we usually enjoy . They have a giant building but seems to just be for brewing the beers (no indoor seating? but the property seems nice. We live in C’ville and have much nicer breweries (venues and staff . Enjoyed a NEIPA on tap. But disappointing experience since the reviews were so good!

Definitely worth the trip to this gorgeous part of Virginia. Brought the family including our puppy. The kids played on the swings while we enjoyed a flight. Do be careful because their beer is STRONG.The festivals are great. I started following them on FB and they are great about what's going on each weekend.

My new favorite brewery in Virginia! It has a stunning location and a friendly staff. There's even a playground for kids or those of us who are just a bit childish at heart. They always have some special brews on tap. I particularly loved the Supreme Leader stout!
