We went to the distillery side because the signs pointed us there for the tasting room. We stood in a short line and ordered. Then we stood and waited at least 20 minutes for our 4 drinks. The cashier made some of the drinks, having to follow the recipes. There was another bartender and she STOPPED making drinks with all of the people waiting and spent her time wiping down bottles and refilling fruit juice bottles. I've never seen anything like it. When we finally got our drinks, there wasn't even an apology for the wait. We did go to the other side to get a beer after. We discovered then that they can make ALL of the same drinks they can make in the distillery side. My advice, only go to the beer side and get beer or distilled drinks, plus food.

Flying Ace! Great brewery with a farm setting. The menu is very vast with beer options and cocktails/mocktails. The cocktail was made very well and it was strong. The brisket nachos were great and was fairly priced for the amount you get. I came here on a weekday so there were not a lot of people but I would definitely get the appeal during the weekend when it is busy. Lots of seating indoor and outdoor, the outdoor seating has a nice view. Great spot, I will be coming back.

Fun outing with my isband. The bbq ribs were fantastic. The mushrooms are way salty. Menu was confusing. I asked for cornbread expecting it's a substitute for the usual bread that comes with almost any bbq I've ever had. Note: the menu has a line above the entire thing noting it's 1$ extra to sub cornbread. Well that's only for sandwiches but none of the menu items say they are sanduiches so we asked and the bartender order taker said oh yeah you just have to know or have someone tell you what is a sandwich and what isn't. For a relatively tiny piece of cornbread I paid 5$ extra. No. Not worth that. As for the bartender order taker...YOU took the order! And we told you it was our first time so maybe if you know a menu is misleading CHANGE it! Or tell the customers what is a sandwich. A full star off for that nonsense and the completely inedible mushrooms. Probably should have said something. Anyway... the taster is generous. Mac and cheese is a to be avoided. It was super runny and not tasty. Brisket was delicious though we asked for all lean and got one of each but really nice.

I didn't go here to drink, but I had the food and it was pretty good. This was my second trip and it was better than the first. Smash burgers were good as was the Mac. If you don't want alcohol your drink options are limited.

Nice venue, friendly staff and excellent BBQ. I don't drink distilled spirits so I can't speak to that but it is a really nice venue.

My wife and I visited Flying Ace Farm during a day trip to western Virginia. We both love a good bbq and were excited to check this place out after seeing all the positive reviews. The hype is warranted. We picked the brisket and ribs as our entrees, and mac & cheese and mushrooms for our sides. The brisket and ribs were incredibly tender and juicy. The bbq sauce on the ribs was delicious and the perfect amount to properly compliment the meat. Mac and cheese was solid and so were the mushrooms. Since they make their own bourbon and rum, I got an old fashioned which was a bit on the strong side but very tasty, and my wife got a pineapple mojito that was excellent. We didn't have enough time to do their tastings. But having tried their old fashioned, we decided to snatch up a bottle of their blended bourbon. The premises are your typical, beautiful Virginia farmland. The folks servicing the place were very kind and knowledgeable about their products. Great experience all around!

This place has a lot going for it. Great food, and all the beers and the bourbon were top notch. Nice ambience and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.I only wish, after a while, my visit didn't have to be accompanied by my growing stack of single use plastics. Quality drinks served in plastic cups? Really?I get it, dishwashing is a pain, and people break or steal the glassware. But at least support recycling so we can pretend we are doing the right thing ... health concerns aside.
BBQ, Bourbon, & Beer. What more could you ask for? Each item from food to beverage is well done and makes for an enjoyable outing. The brewery hall has a great cocktail selection incorporating their distilled bourbon, their brewed drafts, and some banging bbq. Indoor and outdoor seating is ample with occasional live music and a large playground to entertain the kids. The distillery and tasting room also let's you try their bourbons and purchase merchandise with some additional seating in a loft area.

I came here with my wife and a couple of friends from the area. Arrived around 8 pm so didn't really get to see the expansive outdoor space, but inside was nice. The beer was comparable to other breweries from the area and the food is centered around bbq from Monks. For me the brewery food was above average. I had the brisket tacos and the others had the trash can nachos. All of it was pretty darn good! We sat upstairs which has a spiral staircase up an old grain solo, which is pretty cool. It is a kid friendly place but the upstairs is 21+ for those wanting that. There were quite a few tables and 5-6 nice dart boards. Overall, we were there for 2 beers each and really enjoyed our short time there. We'll be back for sure. Cheers!

I really enjoy everything about this place. The aviation theme, the food, the beer, the cocktail options. They have some weekday specials, so make sure to check those out. We've been there for burger special and loved the value of a burger, side, and beer. Nachos seem to be going out every time we walk past the kitchen pickup window. They have a bar where you order. The food items get a buzzer and will be picked up by the kitchen. By the kitchen there are stairs to the upper level where they have dart boards, games, and TVs. They have an upper deck outside that you can access from the 2nd level or from the stairs on either side outsides. They have a kid play area out back, a pavilion for music, and lots of picnic tables. The distillery is in a separate building but is a must to at least walk in and see the plane suspended from the ceiling. They also have shirts and hats for purchase, along with bottles of their fine distilled juice Plenty of parking.
