Our Beers
Handcrafted Beers
Our brewery was founded in 2018 within a repurposed wine case storage building located east of the property, next to the winery. Equipped with a state-of-the-art 15 barrel brewhouse, we craft all of our ales and lagers served on-site. Our ingredients are sourced from both local suppliers in Loudoun County and from around the globe. While most of our beers adhere to traditional styles, as a working grape farm, we also offer a selection of beers infused with wine grapes for a unique twist.
​
Our craft beer is unlike any other, thanks to our unique brewing process and the passion that goes into every batch. We strive to use only the finest ingredients in our brews, ensuring a high-quality and unforgettable taste. Our tasting room is the perfect place to come and explore all the different flavors, and we're always happy to suggest new beers to try. Whether you're a seasoned beer drinker or trying something new, you're sure to find something you love at Hillsborough.
