If you didn't come to the LoCo Ale Trail FeBREWary Finale at Vanish over the weekend...shame on you. But, really. You missed out on a lot of great fun! Not only did guests get to meet the brewers of some of their favorite Loudoun breweries and hang out with Roche from DC101, but they also got to taste all of the LoCollaboration Milk Stouts! All 16 breweries came together to create a delicious milk stout base and were then tasked with taking the stout back to the brewers and creating their own unique brew. 

When the festival goers checked in, they were given a beer ballot to vote for their favorite LoCollaboration beer. The votes have officially been tallied and I am here to announce the winner of the LoCollaboration Milk Stouts!

Dirt Farm Brewing - LoCollaboration Stout

Dirt Farm Brewing, a beautiful brewery in Bluemont, went fruity with their beer. After emptying all of the kegs of milk stout into a single vessel, the brewers at Dirt Farm added a good amount of fresh strawberries from the farm and a handful of vanilla beans. The concoction brewed for a little over a week before being carbonated and kegged for your drinking pleasure! Head to the brewery to try it for yourself!
