If you like your breweries hip, urban, and lively Spencer Devon Brewing in Fredericksburg is up your alley. Better food than your average brewery/restaurant, too.
Drinks
In the dry zone at Barren Ridge
An arid setting and constant breezes helps Barren Ridge produce award-winning wines from the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. The views are pretty sweet, too!
Clean industry at Ardent Craft Ales, Richmond
Not Richmond’s most famous brewery-taproom but definitely a spot that any self-respecting Virginia beer lover has to try.
A river-centric vibe at James River Brewing, Scottsville
This river-themed micro brewery boasts a batteau poler on its logo, and the beer gets high marks. Other aesthetics could use a boost, though.
Old-school charm weakened at Pine Room Pub, Roanoke
A beautiful setting in which to have a drink but the old school charm is marred by modern day TVs blaring sports and news.
Restaurant defines options at Early Mountain Winery
A mostly sustainable-practices vineyard and winery with gorgeous appointments inside and out. On the higher end and with full service, so prepare to tip.
