2026 General Manager of the Year: Sophia Salcido
Sophia runs the entire front-of-house operation at one of Loudoun's downtown breweries: staff scheduling, communication, service flow and guest experience. She plans all of the brewery's event programming, from Thursday night trivia that packs the house to live music, rotating specials and seasonal celebrations, and her holiday decorations make the space feel welcoming and fun. Above all, she is the glue that holds the team together, bridging the brewhouse and the front of house and setting the tone for a well-run, community-driven taproom.
