The ranking
Wheatland Spring Farm + Brewery
A lager-focused estate whose Servus Helles, Moin German Pils, and Haidhausen Munich Dunkel headline the county's best German lineup.
Black Hoof Brewing Company
A downtown Leesburg taproom pouring authentic German lagers (Marzen, pilsner, Helles, and doppelbock) with no bar stools by design.
Bear Chase Brewing Company
Home to an award-winning German-style Kolsch and a clean High Pointe Helles.
Quattro Goomba's Brewery
Its continental, Italian-leaning lineup runs to Italian Pilsners and Vienna Lagers.
Ocelot Brewing Company
Its Sunnyside Dweller German pilsner is the closest thing this hop-forward brewery has to a flagship.
Harvest Gap Brewery
Its Devil Dog Helles Pilsner is a standout on a lineup that spans IPAs to ciders.
