Not just for restaurant industry members and fully open to the public, the evening (7-11:30pm) will feature spirits tastings, cocktail specials, “cheffy” late night bites, raffle prizes and more.
Fainting Goat is excited to once again host Catoctin Creek, the first legal distillery in Loudoun County since before Prohibition, located in nearby Purcellville, Virginia.

Executive Chef Sam George will serve a creative menu of Late Night Bites: highbrow-meets-lowbrow, cheffed-up snacks inspired by industry folks’ favorite post-shift grub. Expect Pizza Rolls filled with ‘nduja, mozzarella and rosemary oil; and bone marrow-topped Steak of the Union cheesesteak with NY strip, roasted bone marrow, gruyere and pickled hatch chiles on sourdough.
He’s also curated Chips & Cheese pairings, coupling crispy snacks with fancy cheeses. Duos include Sour Cream & Onion + havarti dill from Wisconsin; BBQ Pringles + aged grafton cheddar from Vermont; and Takis + smoked blu cheese from Mold City USA.
