This is a small brewery in a small town but they make excellent brews. Keep in mind they don't serve any food, though there is a food truck here at certain times. If you're passing by on the Virginia Creeper Trail this brewery is worth a stop.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Virginia Creeper Trail is one of the premier rails-to-trails works in the county. For nearly 35 miles of converted railroad hikers, bikers, and runners can explore the wilderness at their own pace. This particular section follows along the path of Whitetop Laurel Creek, with a number of bridges as the path and creek cross each other at the bottom of the valley.
