Breweries
Locals and visitors alike agree that experiencing the lagers, ales and hard ciders in the Blue Ridge Highlands of Virginia's many microbreweries is a new favorite hobby and a great way to meet intersting people from all over. Paired with the combination of culture, topography and climate along the Highlands makes it an ideal location for growing ingredients.
Black Lab Vodka | Pearisburg
We selected a gold medal winning domestic distillery to create a vodka we could be proud to offer our discriminating customers. Using only the finest grain and pure clear water from the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, Black Lab™ Vodka is filtered five times through charcoal and crushed lava rocks for an ultra-smooth, premium vodka that is truly "a breed apart."
