Virginia is fast becoming well known for it's abundance of microbreweries and Franklin County, historically recognized as moonshine capital of the world, is no exception. Pictured above is Sunken City Brewery http://sunkencitybeer.com/ in Hardy Virginia, just a few miles west of Hales Ford Bridge at Smith Mountain Lake. They have a tasting room, pub, and a retail store.
Another microbrewery close by to the Roanoke area (in Roanoke actually) is the Roanoke Railhouse Brewery. http://www.roanokerailhouse.com/visit.html . They feature 3 different beers as well as seasonal brews.
I for one, think this is a very cool thing because I really like buying local all I can and keeping money in the community, and tax dollars in the county. Beer is no exception to this now in many parts of Virginia.
