Sophisticated Quaffing at Spencer Devon Brewing, #FXBG

August 7, 2015 By Lindsay Curren

Sophisticated Quaffing at Spencer Devon Brewing, #FXBG

On planning my latest trip, to Fredericksburg for my 6th wedding anniversary, I knew I had to find whatever breweries were around to satisfy my hubby, home brewer extraordinaire.

So it was a fun surprise to find Spencer Devon Brewing, a unique take on … [Read more...] about Sophisticated Quaffing at Spencer Devon Brewing, #FXBG

Parkway Brewing Company hops to it in Salem

Parkway Brewing Company hops to it in Salem

This is a brewery with a great logo, a cool Virginia-centric name reference, and great graphics, all of which set the tone for high expectations. A tough thing is that this brewery is a pretty big trip from most parts of Virginia (though it is awesome that it's here for locals). Still, we're not one's to mind a destination brew trip and, being in the Roanoke area already, Salem is just a hop skip … [Read more...] about Parkway Brewing Company hops to it in Salem
