Virginia seems to have perfected the art of craft beer. For proof of this, look no further than the abundance of craft breweries located in every corner of the state. In fact, there’s even a designated beer trail that showcases some of the state’s finest brews. The aptly-named Brew Ridge Trail is one that you’ll want to (responsibly!) enjoy as soon as possible. So gather up your friends, find a designated driver, and let the adventures begin!
Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains are known for many things: remarkable scenery, abundant wildlife, and, more recently, delicious craft beer.
For those looking for a unique day trip or weekend-long excursion, the Brew Ridge Trial makes for an excellent adventure. The trail is characterized by five unique breweries in the region, each offering its unique take on beer.
The brewpubs include Blue Mountain Brewery, Blue Mountain Barrel House, Devils Backbone Brewing Company, and Star Hill Brewery. Conveniently, four of these breweries can be found along Route 151.
And while beer is certainly the focus of the Brew Ridge Trail, you could easily forgo the drinks and enjoy tasty snacks and alternate beverages as well. As long as you're enjoying it responsibly and having fun, there's no wrong way to embark on this trail!
