This is a nice restaurant in an old mill in Leesburg. It's just a couple pint-glass-throws from the W&OD bike trail, so a perfect spot to stop in for a pint if you're on 2 wheels. Just 10 miles further west at the end of the trail is their sister location Magnolia's at the Mill. There's at least a dozen taps representing a fairly broad spectrum of beers. The food here is pretty good too, and the barkeeps seems to generally know their beers as well. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the Leesburg area.

Not exactly located in the center of everything, Tuscarora Mill is in a town called Leesburg, just northwest of the technology-laced Ashburn and Reston.

The inside is an older design type interior, with exposed wood all over, but it also has plenty of flat screen TVs that play sports. There is an upstairs deck and a downstairs area that spreads behind a bar that's set in the middle. The seating seems plentiful, but the restaurant does fill up quickly.

They have a large draft list with 15+ beers, and a bottled list of 7 or so. There are also a few select Belgian beers. The areas from the beer extends from Austria to England to the East Coast of the US, then goes to the West Coast. At the time of this review there was an Old Dominion (Ashburn, VA) beer that was available at the Mill, but not at the brewpub. There is also Guinness Stout, but that seems to be the only big brewery beer available. The prices are all around $5 for a pint, which is reasonable.

The food is a little pricey, but no more than most restaurants. You can get anything from a burger to a grilled shrimp caeser salad (which is what I had). You also get bread before dinner with butter or oil and herbs.

A good list of beer, great food, and sports TVs. What more can you ask for in a family-friendly restaurant. It isn't close to any major cities or areas, but it's worth the drive if you're in or close to D.C.
