Dirt Don't Hurt Hiking Club - Group Hike

Come on out for a Dirt Don’t Hurt Hiking Club – Group Hike! Our goal with this club is to come together, hike together, share a beer together, and do it all over again a couple of times a month!
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced hiker this club is for you! We will be hiking the Dirt Farm trail – a 3.5 mile wooded loop right here on our property. We will be meeting up under the pavilion at the brewery beforehand and we’ll take off shortly after 9:30am for a self-guided group hike! Kids and dogs are welcome! A Dirt Farm staff member will be joining in on some, but not all of these group hikes!
This hike takes an average of 1.5 hours and the incline at the end is a butt kicker! With a start time of 9:30am, we should be finishing up right as the Taproom opens at 11am. After the hike we encourage everyone to hang out and have a beer and some bites from The Truck to refuel!
Make sure you mark yourself ‘interested’ in this event on facebook if you plan to join us. That way you will get notified if we have to move the date due to weather or high winds.

When you visit us at Dirt Farm Brewing, we hope that your experience is a true connection with the land and community. With our taproom and expansive patio comfortably nestled on the Blue Ridge mountainside, panoramic views of the Loudoun Valley can be taken in from all angles. Enjoy a pint of farm raised beer while overlooking the field in which it was grown. With each sip we hope you can taste the fresh mountain water which runs underfoot, the ripe produce that has been thoughtfully incorporated, and the sense of home, which we taste with every pint. We encourage you to sit back, kick your boots off and share a beer with us!

Pumpkin Ale Beer Release + Nomini Bay Oyster Fest!
2025-09-06 - 2025-09-07 | Dirt Farm Brewing, 18701 Foggy Bottom Road, Bluemont, 20135, United States
Join us for our Pumpkin Ale Beer Release + Nomini Bay Oyster Fest at Dirt Farm Brewing!

Nothing makes us more excited than the leaves changing and the crisp air that fall brings. To celebrate, we are releasing one of our favorite seasonal ales. Pumpkin Ale Beer Release + Nomini Bay Oyster Fest + Live Music!

Starting in the fields, we pick over 200 pounds of neck pumpkins per batch. After harvesting, we roast the neck pumpkins with brown sugar and add them to our amber ale base. We then add our secret blend of fall spices to the boil to complete the batch. The end result of this labor of love is an authentic pumpkin ale loaded with not so #basic pumpkin spice flavor.

And just when we thought we couldn’t have any more fun, Nomini Bay Oyster Fest has been added to the mix! Y’all know they are a hoot! Enjoy raw or charbroiled oysters, with specialty options that pair perfectly with your Dirt Farm beer.
