What’s happening craft beer lovers of RVA?! Welcome to this week’s “Tapped,” RVA Magazine’s go to weekly beer column.
We’ve brewed up quite a bit of news so all you beer thirsty folks can be in the know about recent news and actually have something fun to do with your weekend other than sitting on the couch stuffing your face with Doritos and binging on Netflix.
We’re just getting into Fall and breweries are already churning out seasonal autumn-inspired brews. But we love it don’t we!? Except for the pumpkin spice craze I cannot and will not jump on board with that. If any brewery comes out with a pumpkin spice coffee-inspired beer I will protest. Regular pumpkin is okay though! Now we’ve got a ton of cool beer releases and other events going on in RVA so hold to your mugs because we’re ready to tap this thing!.
First check out last week’s full roundup here.
