This weekend, we are having a 4th of July Cookout on Saturday, where you can roast your hotdogs, hamburgers, cook smore's, and more using our firepits!
We are hard at work getting the brewery running and look forward to continue seeing new and familiar faces on the farm.
I’m missing the brewery opening this weekend—Ava has a shot at an athletic scholarship, and I need to be there for her. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. I am also extremely geateful and confodent in the brewery being in original founding member and brewer Farris Loutfi.
Yomorrow's opening is in great hands: we open at noon. Trace Nixon plays June 28 at 1pm, hosted by the one and only Farris Loutfi til sunset.
To make it up for my absence tomorrow, July 2 is on me—free show at 7PM. Tickets prepurchasednwill be refunded. DJ Williams’ Band and Guest are coming through—he’s on national tour now, but Richmond is where it started. Nekoro Williams is on drums, and Todd Herrington, who played our first-ever opening, is back to bring it full circle.
Celebrate this Saturday June 14 from 12pm to 8pm - Noon to sunset for an early Father’s Day at Lickinghole Creek
Our team went the extra mile this week in the summer heat fixing the grounds, seating, shade and playset.
The new farm playset is nearly complete, offering a dedicated area for families to unwind. Please note: alcohol is not permitted near the play area, which is set apart from the tasting room to give kids space to roam and play safely.
To help you (and our team) cool down from this hot week, we’re serving Father’s Day-sized snow cones and shaved ice bowls, perfect for all ages. Choose from refreshing non-alcoholic sparkling waters with flavors like watermelon, blueberry, blood orange, or mango.
Elevate your icy treat with a fruit purée swirl, or stay classic with snow cone flavors like Dragon Blood or Piña Colada.
Because let’s face it—snow cones never go out of style, especially on a hot day.
Come celebrate Father’s Day with a cold treat, great beer, and plenty of room to play at Lickinghole Creek.
Our team member and famed PBR drummer Nekoro Williams may show off some skills with his son on the drums, and fill our day with music.
Lickinghole Creek Sunflowers & Sunsets: An Intimate Summer Music Series
I’m thrilled to once again share the beauty of my farm with the community I love. As the summer Solstice approaches, I’m excited to announce the Lickinghole Creek Sunflowers & Sunsets Evening Concert Series — a celebration of music, nature, and craft, featuring both nonalcoholic and specialty alcoholic brew releases.
To ensure a meaningful and safe experience — especially as I continue to navigate the limits of my immune disorder — attendance will be limited to 200 guests per evening throughout June and July. This allows us to focus on creating an intimate and immersive atmosphere for everyone present.
We are blessed to welcome DJ Williams and special guests to open the series on July 2. Tickets for music events are $25, with 100% of proceeds supporting the artists. This also helps us plan for seating, spacing, and thoughtful beer service. A donation option will be available for those who want to support our evolving vision of a curated, art-focused music venue.
Imagine relaxing in the shade, surrounded by blooming sunflowers, as the sun dips below the horizon and a canopy of stars slowly appears — a view you just can’t get in the suburbs or the city. Here, we’ll gather to truly listen — to the original songs, to the soul of the artists, and to one another.
My dream is to bring together sunsets, sunflowers, and deeply talented musicians — whether you’ve heard of them or not, I promise their artistry will move you. Our evenings will be paired with small-batch, high-ABV barrel-aged beers, and balanced with refreshing low- or no-ABV options — something for everyone to enjoy.
This week, I’ll be announcing more music acts and helping Farris brew a Strawberry Hefeweizen, followed by a new Honeysuckle Essence New England IPA.
And yes, I apologize in advance for ticketing — but it’s all in service of crafting an experience where nature, music, and community come together for something truly special.
With love and excitement,
Lisa

🍻 What’s Brewing This Week at Lickinghole Creek
Week of May 30, 2025
The hive is buzzing—both in the fields and the brewhouse.
🐝 A New Queen Takes Her Throne This week we introduced a new queen bee to one of our farm hives. She arrived in her queen cage and is settling in while the colony slowly accepts her as their own. It’s a beautiful, slow process that mirrors how we do things out here—naturally and with care.
🍺 Three Chopt Tripel Is in the Brewhouse Named after the historic trail that runs through our region, the Three Chopt Tripel is our bold, American twist on a Belgian classic. Crafted with: • Pilsner malt • Belgian yeast • And nonstop hopping through the boil with Motueka and Saaz
This tripel brings bright citrus, floral spice, and soft malt depth—equal parts tradition and rebellion.
🎉 Soft Opening Hours
Fridays – Sundays 12PM to Sunset We’re softly open with 4 taps pouring each weekend—featuring a Watermelon Gose and three vintage barrel-aged gems, and a farm experience like no other.
Come sip under the trees, meet the bees, and be part of the buildup to our grand reopening on June 28.

Farm, Fermentation, and Forward Momentum at Lickinghole Creek
Spring is in full swing at Lickinghole Creek, and we’re buzzing with activity across the farm and brewhouse. Our hop fields are coming alive, and we’re deep into reviewing our vintage barrel-aged brews—checking how the years have treated these bold, aged beauties. The kids are getting a new playset, and we’re building out shaded structures to make your visits even more relaxing and family-friendly.

We’ll be aging: • Nasty Woman – Our unapologetically assertive barrel-aged Belgian. • La Calavera Catrina – A hauntingly complex tribute to tradition and rebellion. • Bourbon Barrel-Aged Tripel – Classic, smooth, and dangerously drinkable.
🌿 Lickinghole Creek Juicy IPA – Hazy, hoppy, and bursting with tropical flavor.
🍓 Strawberry Hefeweizen – A crisp, fruity wheat beer brewed with real strawberries, perfect for sunny days.
🍍🥥 Pina Colada Seltzer – Island vibes in a can.
🍒 Black Cherry Seltzer – Deep, refreshing, and effervescent.
