Description
The Beer Joint is Leesburg's biggest and best brewery, restaurant and lounge providing the finest food, burgers and bourbons in the business.

Admin Note: Formerly known as Vintage 50, in 2014 the owner decided to rebrand as 'The Beer Joint'. No change to beer recipes after the change, only a different marketing approach to the brand. Brewery went out of business in late 2014.

Vintage 50 Facebook description: V50 Brew delights with on-site crafted beer and a menu created by Chef Amy Charney that inspires and compliments the full range of brewer Bret Kimbrough.
