Wheatland Spring Farmers + Neighbors Pale Ale
16oz 4-Pack 6.%ABV Pale Ale
Farmers were neighbors. It used to be more common that people knew where their food and drink came from. But over the years, many areas across the country swapped these close connections for far-flung supply chains. Here’s the good news: there’s a groundswell of support for local farms. Empowering small farms to connect their produce with people, our friends at the Lovettsville Co-Op created a market that champions farmers in our growing region. Because the mission resonated with us so clearly, we made this beer together for our community. Collectively, we’re working to secure a future where it’s commonplace that farmers are neighbors once again.

Bluejacket Blue Owl
500ml Blue Owl is a beer that was over 2 years in the making. We first met Ulrike Genz of Schneeeule Brauerei in July of 2019. She is one of the few remaining producers of real, traditional Berliner Weisse, a style that nearly went extinct in the early 2000s. At only 3.5%, her beers are remarkably complex, showcasing a harmony of soft fruit esters, cracker-like malt body and gentle acidity. Inspired by Ulrike and Schneeeule, we set out to make the beer that became Blue Owl.

Blue Owl is an old-world Berliner Weisse of mixed fermentation. Aged 18 months in white wine barrels that were inoculated with Brettanomyces from Willner Brauerei Berlin, one of the last traditional Berliner Weisse breweries that closed its doors in 1990. Dry-hopped with Hallertau Blanc, then bottle conditioned for 7 months. Brewed in collaboration with Schneeeule Brauerei.

Drie Fonteinen Intens Rood PX
bottling date: 07/10/2020 •

PX sherry barrel Kriek

While looking for old sherry barrels, we cannot get lucky all the time. While we will be sourcing barrels directly from bodegas to assure provenance and quality, we had a batch of Pedro Ximenez (PX) barrels that was on the peated side (albeit subdued). As a result, we decided not to use them for Zenne y Frontera, but to blend them with other (fruit) lambikken into geuze and fruit blends.

This is the first of such blends to be released. Sour cherries were macerated partly on young peated lambik and partly on two-year old straight lambik in a stainless steel tank. We blended with young and three-year old (!) lambik. 55% of the blend is old lambik and the final fruit intensity is 567 grams of sour cherries per litre.

$50.00
Drie Fonteinen Oude Kriekenlambik
750ml 3 Fonteinen (Oude) Kriekenlambik is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries on young lambic for at least four months, in a proportion of one kilogram of fruit per litre of lambic (and possibly blended with some more young lambic). Fruit intensity ranges from minimum 35% to 50%. Aside some selected bars (e.g. 20th Anniversary of Akkurat in Stockholm, Sweden), this sour cherry lambic is available at given times in the lambik-O-droom
$55.00
Drie Fonteinen Schaarbeekse Kriek 2019
750ml
Bottling date: 02/09/2020

For this Schaarbeekse Kriek, we macerated locally grown and manually harvested sour cherries for almost fourteen months in wooden barrels, with both one-year and two-year old lambik.

The final fruit intensity is about 350 grams of Schaarbeekse per litre of finished Schaarbeekse Kriek. The average age of this beer upon release will be around two-and-a-half years.
100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik.

Our modern interpretation begins with Pilsner malt, raw wheat, and Saaz hops, which is brewed using a turbid mash and long boil, and fermented in French oak foeders with our wild yeast prior to bottle conditioning. You will find a delicate balance between lemon tartness and rustic earthiness inside its marigold yellow pour

Primitive Circular Logic: Spirit Hound Whiskey-Honey
750ml 10.5%ABV 3-year blend of Méthode Traditionnelle Primitive Beers aged in Spirit Hound Distillers’ Honey Whiskey barrels. Here’s where it gets trippy; the barrels that define this beer previously held Malt Whiskey, followed by Bee Squared Apiaries’ Longmont honey, followed one more time by Malt Whiskey.

To complete the proverbial circle, we procured a gallon of the whiskey barrel-aged honey, a gorgeously spirit-forward oaky nectar that preceded the last Whiskey fill of our barrel, to fuel bottle conditioning in our blend. Expect big honey and booze-soaked oak on the nose followed by a surprisingly delicate and balanced flavor. Grainy and complex with a warming sensation yielding to a dry finish.

$32.00
Primitive Cursed Heirloom PX Sherry Cask
750ml 5.8%ABV This beer showcases flavor characteristics more akin to Sherry-cask aged Scotches than many beers, presenting a big nose of tar, tobacco, leather, and burnt raisin with a drying tannic sensation on the tongue. Smoke, overturned earth, wood linger on the palate, begging for contemplation and ostentatious smoking jacket.

As an Asian, the food is not the most authentic but it is still not bad. The waiters are very nice and I like the atmosphere. But the highlight of eating here is the deserts, they are so delicious! I got the coconut flan and the ube custard cake and I enjoyed every bite.

Food was delicious with a great selection of beers. We had the braised pork belly and fried chicken sandwich. The place fills up quickly, but that’s just testament to exactly how good everything is. Definitely coming back soon.

Not quite Taiwanese food; closer to Taiwanese fusion, and delicious! Great pairing with beer and hard (dry) cider. Kids are welcome, but they either must be adventurous eaters or of Asian descent since the spices are different. Love the fact that one can hang outside or inside. Spaces are on the small side, but still very cozy. Limited parking on the site (back of the restaurant) but there is a bigger parking lot on the next block. Tons of traffic outside so it’s probably better to park elsewhere.

This is a cute little place in Fairfax. There is parking behind the restaurant. A sign will indicate where parking is but easily missed. There are free public parking around.

We tried this place in Fairfax City for the first time. They have a nice selection of beer and spirits. We tried the braised pork belly over rice. It comes with a braised egg. This plate tastes like home cooked meal. It was delicious! I would highly recommend this place! It tastes like my mom’s home cooking! Absolutely the best. The other plates were also delicious. We ordered the lemon grass fried chicken over rice with a fried egg. The chicken has a nice flavor and moderately spicy. The scallion pancake with stir fried beef was okay. I will definitely come back to try all the other menu items and order the braised pork belly again! It is the menu item and always consistent. If you like hard seltzer, they have Smooj and the Humble Bumble is the best if you like a fruity tropical seltzer water. They taste like spiked fruit juice… So delicious. Can’t wait to come back here!

Too bad my food took forever to taste burnt and sad this was my second time there…Was looking forward to trying this again as servers are nice(seemed over worked tho) there but most likely my last time there…how does one mess up an egg? I would it rather not had the egg at all and not of the cucumbers plus it was bland&burnt, and took over 20 min for this meal! There’s so many other places in ffx that I’ll go from now on as this was upsetting! Hate burnt eggs and for the price I paid It’s also way too crammed in there and loud! Id have to be forced to go back tbh. A shame bc the first Time there was great but guess that’s when they just opened…sad they’ve gone down hill so fast. Don’t think this place will last out maybe just turn into a bar…Seriously the worse exotics I’ve had in Main Street area at a restraint that’s still open there…#dobetter

Our server Joe recommended several dishes and each of them was delicious. We enjoyed the Taiwanese pork braised bao, egg fried rice with shrimp, Edamame, Spicy Dan Dan noodles, and pot stickers. The service was excellent (lots of water refills) and the atmosphere was fresh and very clean.

Great people, world-class beers, unique food menu options and amazing staff/beertenders. They always make you feel welcome, with positive vibes and great conversation. And they just celebrated their fourth anniversary, having transformed Fairfax City into a place where rare beers are poured and good times are had. Always meet great people when hanging out there, and from ownership on down, everyone there is down to earth and accepting. Make sure to stop in and grab a brew with their signature Tornado Fries! Nothing else in the FFX City area stacks up. They’re one-of-a-kind. Big fan. Family-like vibes every time I’m there. Cheers to four more years and beyond!

Loved the sweet potato fries and potstickers! Thought I would save some to share with my hubby, but they didn’t last long…. Had a sour beer as well and all were delicious. Staff was friendly and super knowledgeable. Will be visiting again for sure! They also have an interesting selection of beers to take home!!
