TLE has been hard at work on this upcoming addition to the Loudoun social scene.

New farm brewery, taproom planned for Loudoun A new brewery and taproom is in the works for a stretch of Highway 15 south of Leesburg and Highway 50. The final name hasn't been announced yet, but it's currently called Carolina Road Brewing.

Plan a trip to Lost Barrel Brewery this spring and take a closer look at a TLE project!
This inviting 8,300 square-foot oversized farmhouse is framed entirely of wood, with exposed rafters and girders – that also features these notable engineering elements:

A 3,800-square foot bay area, constructed with tall studs, balloon framing and a pop-up roof to accommodate specialized brewing equipment.

Wooden walls hewn with locally-sourced Southern Pine, that extend to the very top of the bay area – without floors – in order to effectively fit the brewing equipment.

A 1,700-square foot mezzanine.

A 1,700 square foot covered walkway.

A roof with multiple profiles that meet, interconnect and work together.
