Wheatland Spring does everything right, from their amazing and distinctive "land beers" (easily some of the best in the DMV) to their beautiful farm space with plenty of room for COVID precautions to be implemented perfectly.
The beers are incredible across all styles, and while they make hoppy IPAs, their focus is on pilsners, lagers, classic German styles (dunkels, altbier) and wild ales, in line with Jester King and Fonta Flora. Their staff are incredibly friendly and can easily recommend something whether you're a beer geek/brewer who wants to geek out on an open fermented brettanomyces beer with local grains(the Du Champ, fwiw) or just want to enjoy a great beverage.
The food here - mostly sandwiches and chips - is also really solid, with an amazing Cuban sandwich and one of our favorite vegetarian options, the Caprese, which has both basil and pesto for bonus deliciousness. All of this plus this beautiful gorgeous space to relax at? It's a no-brainer.
Kid friendly, pet friendly, too. I'd recommend a reservation, especially on a Saturday, and you'll get two hours outside or in one of their beautiful barns. We're an hour away but we're here all the time because it's just such a wonderful combination of kind people making great beer and food in a relaxing place.
