Lone Oak Brewery

Why we Recommend Lone Oak Brewery

Lone Oak is not just a brewery at a farm. Rather, it’s a farm with a brewery. It’s 28.66 acres of bucolic fields and streams, a pond, and wide-open spaces. It’s wildflowers and wildlife. It’s crops – barley and hops – and berries and hay. It’s bees raised to produce honey. It’s a brewhouse – carefully built, piece by piece by world-class craftsmen, using local lumber for the porch posts, beams, and bar. It’s a taproom that feels like home. With private event spaces that fit 8 to 200, you’ll find the perfect spot for your event! Four years after building and growing Lone Oak Farm Brewing Company into an award-winning space loved by the community, the team set its sights on something new: a distillery where the crops from the property’s nearly 30 acres are transformed into craft spirits, giving guests a true ground-to-glass experience. Fallen Oak Distilling was built to be a place to gather. A place to taste. A place to enjoy rich flavors from the grains of our ground. It’s a distillery born from a passion for crafting high-quality spirits. This is a family-owned business where the terroir of the land is infused into every cocktail we create. It’s in these fields that we grow corn and barley used for our whiskeys, vodka, gin and beer. Fallen Oak Distilling is named for the beloved Lone Oak tree that once stood on the southern edge of the property, but sadly fell in April of 2023. This magnificent giant, in all its glory, stood for more than 250 years and held countless stories within its branches. It could tell stories of how it marked a boundary that divided families during The Civil War – union supporters on this side, and confederate supporters on the other. The tree could also share tales of the former owners of The Oaks, as it was known back then – The Griffiths, and then Samuel Riggs IV of the Riggs and Sandy Spring Bank family. Riggs served in the Army during WWII and purchased the farm in 1949. He built a reputation for his dedication to agriculture, community and his church. To honor the tree’s legacy, we used our farm’s sawmill to transform a branch from the Lone Oak into the mantle that sits over the fireplace in the Fallen Oak Speakeasy. The spirit of the Lone Oak still lives on, a whispering witness through the spirits, conversations, and memories that will continue to be made in this place – capturing the zeitgeist of our time.
