Really cool artwork. I almost bought a print. The beer was good, too. I had a pale and an IPA. The kids killed it in the dark on the ride home. We had to stop at one point in the nearly pitch dark so I could switch lights when my headlight went out. Good times.

We biked to Adroit Theory via Taco Bell for the kids. It was snowing pretty hard. They had some good IPAs, but the most interesting was the Imagination Atrophy milk stout. They describe this version as: Aroma of Reese’s Pieces blend with espresso, caramel topping, and vanilla. Body is silky smooth, rich and boozy finish. Inspired by a caramel machiatto. It would have been great in a big glass with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream.
IMG_20180317_141556390 by Jon, on FlickrWe stayed in Leesburg for the weekend. I dropped the kids and wife about halfway to Purcellville, drove back to the hotel, and then biked back to join them as they finished at the consignment shop. Then we all went over to Jack’s Run. We started with a flight – the cream ale, wee heavy, irish red, and American wheat. I really liked the wee heavy, which is not something I generally like that much. I also tried their oatmeal stout, which was pleasant. The woman serving us recommended the burger place around the corner for lunch, which was an excellent suggestion.

We were just discussing with the kids, as we rode 12 miles home from a brewery, that a BAFS kids team next year is definitely a thing that should happen

They don’t do much brewing on site, but they DO make their sours there, so we had one. I don’t really like sours that much, but this was a fine sour if you’re into that sort of thing.
IMG_20180316_192730759 by Jon, on FlickrVery bikey. Solid beer. We did two flights. Solid but not outstanding. The staff was really chatty and engaging. They don’t actually brew on site, but they do a few brewing-related things there.

IMG_20180316_150451512_HDR by Jon, on FlickrI had the Voluptuous, a “vino pale” which is apparently is beer with grape juice added. It was surprisingly light and a little bubbly and didn’t taste at all like 10%. Then I had the Completely Nuts, a nut brown ale that was SUPER nutty.
