BEYOND WINE Craft Beer, Ciders & Spirits Discover Loudoun’s growing collection of breweries (including breweries with a view, where the ingredients come from local farmland) plus cideries and distilleries. CRAFT BEER The LoCo Ale Trail’s 30+ breweries offer a mix of settings few regions can match: trendy urban taprooms, Piedmont farm beer gardens and mountaintop tasting rooms. Several breweries use local fruit, grain and yeast, producing what’s been called “Land Beer.” CIDERS Hard on the heels of Loudoun’s beer revolution comes a raft of craft cideries turning Loudoun apples into liquid gold. Fruit-forward Henway Hard Cider Company in Bluemont, and gluten-free Corcoran Cidery in Waterford, where they dry age cider for a year, are just a few options for standout cider. 20 | VisitLoudoun.org
