Howdy everyone! Oktoberfest season is upon us once again. We are lucky to live in an area with so many fantastic breweries and communities that love their German heritage.

I am still awaiting a response from several Breweries and Groups on if/when they will be holding their festivities this year. Of note, Lovettesville is not having its celebration this year, and it is one of the largest in the region (no idea why).
There are also some local(ish) festivals included in the document. I have also included a Google Maps version of the list if you want to go roadtriping!
If you see anything missing or needing to be updated from the list, comment and I will get it updated. Prost!
I will be traveling through the Salem/Roanoke area in late May and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good local brewery. Also, if they sell individual cans. Thanks!
What beers fron Virginia are we enjoying folks...let's get this ball rolling
I am going to be (very briefly) visiting Richmond and am looking for a bottle shop that does a make your own six pack or at least has a good selection of local craft that’s available to be bought as a single.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone see any holiday beer at the Arlington Costco? Last year they had straffe hendrik.
Thanks
Where can I get amazing IPAs near Floyd or Roanoke
Patch Brewing Company is holding its Phase I opening on September 18, 2021. Come and see the only Virginia brewery with a baseball field, a dog park and a children's play area.
We will be pouring our initial four beers as well as cider and wine. We have a food truck in the afternoon as well as live music from 2-5pm. All members of the family are welcome, as well as dogs on leashes.
I have to drive from NoVA down to Smith Mountain Lake. Taking 29 the majority of the way. Any suggestions on breweries to hit on the drive down? Mainly thinking in the Lynchburg/Amherst area. thanks!
Any home brew shops/ anywhere that will rent jockey boxes or kegerators out?
