First Responder Events
Badge pinnings, retirements, academy graduations and awards nights for fire, police and EMS departments in Loudoun County. We plan around the shift rather than the clock, so the second wave still gets fed.

Event Catering & Custom Menus

Craft Beer Brewed On Site
Every Loco Lion beer is developed and brewed here by our master brewer Jose Ayala, previously of Boston Beer Company. Blue Ridge water, and for some batches ingredients grown on our own farm.
Hand Pulled Cask Ale
Cask ale finishes fermenting in the vessel it is poured from, served by hand with a beer engine rather than pushed out with gas, at cellar temperature. As far as we can establish, the only cask ale in Loudoun County.
Non Alcoholic Drinks
Non alcoholic beer, soft drinks and soft options for anyone driving, which on a hilltop in western Loudoun County is usually more of the party than people expect.
Live Music & Events
Live music every weekend, open mic nights, trivia, brewery tours and beer pairing dinners at our farm brewery off Route 9 in Hillsboro. Free to attend, dogs welcome, and the deck faces the sunset.
