Northern Virginia Brew Fest - Harvest Time is Here in DC’s Beer Country

Fall in Northern Virginia is filled with countless harvest festivals and seasonal entertainment, mixed in among the demanding schedules of school academic and athletic events. It’s hard not only to find a spare moment to relax and enjoy the Oktoberfest-influenced, pre-holiday season, but to also choose among the myriad offerings of Northern Virginia’s best outdoor venues – including farms, restaurants, wineries and vineyards, parks, rural and suburban communities. For those seeking the perfect mix of outdoor entertainment in great Fall weather, seasonal harvest brews and local food, plus a great mix of fun-loving residents, families and visitors – make plans now to visit DC’s Beer Country out in the Loudoun County/Dulles South region for the great 3rd annual Northern Virginia BrewFest.

The World Beer Experience on October 24th and 25th, at Bull Run Regional Park in Centreville, VA, will feature more than 40 of the world’s best breweries, plenty of delicious food to complement the craft beers and outstanding local and regional bands providing entertainment. Bull Run Regional Park includes huge, spacious fields, scenic woodlands and trails, and is a quick trek about 30 minutes to the west of DC, off of Rt. 29 in Centreville - an easy ride from Rt. 66.

This is a great event to truly get to know your new or existing neighbors in the Northern Virginia region, including Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun Counties - or even (as an agent) to entertain your clients!

Musical entertainment on the Main Stage will include genres such as rock, classic rock, blues, and folk - and all are included with the price of admission. Great local and regional bands will be joining us all weekend long, including Road Soda (rock/hip hop/classic rock quartet from Fairfax, Virginia), Gonzo’s Nose (80’s and 90’s rock covers, from Arlington), Gypsy Sons (classic rock, from Alexandria), The Cheaters (rock, southern and classic rock, from Baltimore), Backseat Betties (Northern Virginia female trio, 80’s through today’s rock and country covers), and Klepto Radio (classic/modern rock to old school/modern Hip Hop).

For those ready to sample the very finest and world-renown beers, here’s the lineup of over 40 breweries expected – some especially fabulous and award-winning breweries featured along with local champs:

Vintage 50, Abita, Allagash, Ballast Point, Bear Republic, Beck’s, Bells, Birra Peroni, Bitburger, Blue Grass, Boston Brewing Company, Boulder, Brooklyn, Budweiser, Capitol City, Clipper City, Dogfish, Flying Dog, Fordham, Franziskaner, Het Anker, Hofbrau Munchen, Hook Ladder, Huyghe, Kona, Kostrizer, Lagunitas, Lancaster Malt, Brewing Co., Leinienkugel, Mad Fox, Magic Hat, New Holland, Northcoast, Old Dominion, Oskar Blues, Otter Creek/ Wolavers, Peak Organic, Plzensky Prazdroj, Raven, RedHook, Sierra Nevada, Spaten, St George, Starr Hill, Van Housebrouck, Victory, Weihenstephaner, Widmer, Wild Goose, and Woodchuck.

Just because it’s a BrewFest, don’t think that the kids aren’t welcome as well. There’s an area dedicated to entertainment for the children including moon-bounces, face-painters, and other hands-on activities. Local Virginia crafters and artisans will also be on hand to provide unique, handmade products and some early shopping for the holidays this year. There’s even a local vineyard or two representing, for the Virginia wine lovers in all of us.

As an entirely family-friendly, safe, fun local arts, crafts, music and brew festival, the Northern Virginia BrewFest in DC’s Beer Country offers a full slate of early and late entertainment for everyone – and represents one of the very best, professionally managed and most anticipated outdoors fall events in all of Northern Virginia. Free parking’s available, and lots of great hotels are very near, with special rates available to festival attendees.

Want some family fun this weekend? This Saturday, September 26th is Centreville Day. This annual community celebration is for all ages. Starting with a parade the day is filled with fun for all ages. There will be rides, food, games and entertainment including a performance by the #1 Dance School in Virginia Creative Dance Center.

Go to the official website http://www.centrevilleva.org/index.cfm?action=c10&id=1830 for more information.

Proceeds of the day go to the Centreville Community Foundation. According to the website "The Centreville Community Foundation uses the proceeds from Centreville Day to fund scholarships for local high school students with outstanding records of community service and to support non-profit organizations that serve the greater Centreville area to support our youth, arts, historic preservation, our environment, cultural diversity, and economic prosperity. In short, supporting Centreville Day helps to make Centreville a better place to live, work and play."

Believe it or not but in Northern Virginia this is an all too common question I am asked. We write offer after offer on $300K homes and all prices below to get beat out by one of multiple offers from multiple agents. I advise my clients by expressing to them it's all about the strength of our offer in addition to what you are willing to pay. Many buyers out there think that there is still a possibility to low ball their offer. Sorry to say folks but those days are gone.

Short of writing a cash offer it takes a bit of finesse by way of a well executed strategy. Anything, from simply CALLING the listing agent and building rapport to sending flowers or a goody basket to the current home owners, you NEED and edge! With foreclosures it's a bit different because banks tend to lean towards the best and highest in most cases, although there is always an exception now and again. In regards to Short Sales and Standard Sales you need to work a bit of magic. I could sit here and blog about what to do and what not to do but the actions you take are different for EVERY transaction.

I recently had a listing and within a 4 day timeline I received 7 offers and NOT 1 agent called me. Now being fair I asked that the agents would email me the offers and I can understand more than most with the new way of communication (emails text, social networking, etc) but when it comes to the best interest of your client calling the listing agent shouldn't be an option rather it should be protocol. Granted a cash offer took the contract for my property but I think we as agents are getting so frustrated of writing multiple offers with each client over the span of numerous months we are just losing touch with reality and our duties. I good contract/offer has many factors involved in taking the contract all the way to settlement and the agent is an extremely vital component.

In closing I think we need to take a step back and realize who we are working for. Getting paid is a GREAT day each and every time your company cuts you a check but at the end of the day you are helping your client(s) make one of the biggest decisions of their life. Do you think calling the listing agent is in your client(s) best interest? Its imperative no questions asked.
