Girls For A Change Now in their own space, serving girls from grades 1-12, the GFAC Center-Chesterfield is home base for GFAC’s work of “cutting a path to the mainstream” for the future leaders of our community. In June of 2016, Angela Patton, CEO of Girls For A Change (GFAC) and Founder of GFAC’s Camp DIVA (Leadership Academy), as one of 10 women in the nation selected as a White House Champion of Change for Extracurricular Enrichment for Marginalized Girls, reflected on the growth of Girls For A Change over the past 15 years. As an intentional advocate and engineer of fundamental change for black girls and other girls of color in our community, her work preceded much of the research reflecting the status of urban black girls in our country. That data now verifies that black girls and other girls of color are still uniquely challenged by persistent opportunity gaps, structural barriers and implicit biases; the important stimulus for GFAC’s approach to be deliberately designed to “Prepare black girls for the world, and to prepare the world for Black girls.” Recent data continues to confirm that girls of color are still falling behind academically and underrepresented in many careers, including STEM fields. They remain invisible to the mainstream, rendering their intellect, problem-solving skills, leadership capabilities and their potential unutilized. GFAC, in collaboration with a diverse coterie of kindred spirits and partners, directly confront these barriers with skill-building, mentoring, social-emotional wellness training, tutoring, experiences, exposure, transportation support and access to 21st-century academic and career opportunities. Our partners are important and we can accomplish so much more together by mentoring a participant, helping in the office, leading or assisting in a program, donating supplies, snacks or equipment, planning a fundraising event, helping with technology, or in our garden. There is something where everyone can participate! Join us today! We can be reached at

O’Connor Brewing Co: By: Terri L. Jones It Takes a Community!
Before you get around to trying the beer (which is great, by the way), your first impression of O’Connor Brewing Co probably will be its mammoth size. At 35,000 square feet, the warehouse in the Park Place section of Norfolk, which has enjoyed previous lives as a food purveyor and a furniture warehouse, is much larger than your typical craft brewery. And within that cavernous building, you’ll find not only the beer-making magic, but also a variety of comfy and spacious enclaves—each with a slightly different vibe—where you can kick back with your buddies and enjoy a brew (or three). A happening place. With this large physical footprint, it’s no wonder that O’Connor Brewing, owned by husband and wife team, Kevin and Penny O’Connor, has become a place where the local beer-loving community congregates. It’s not just a handful of friends coming together to share a few pints inside the corkwalled tasting room and beer hall, al fresco in the sun-canopied beer garden or on the old loading dock, it’s groups big and small, young and old, gathering for every reason you can imagine.
6 VACB Edition 15
The evening before we talked, the brewery had provided the venue for a mental health forum and the day before that, a meeting of the American Cancer Society. A few hours after our interview, a group was gathering for a memorial celebration. The brewery has also been the backdrop for lots of celebrations—from birthdays to bachelor parties. Couples have even said their “I do’s” with the gleaming silver tanks bearing witness. “It feels like every night there’s something happening here,” admits Penny O’Connor, who is responsible for the brewery’s marketing and the overall look and feel of the place.
Your Neighborhood Beer and Wine Store O’Connor also plays host to many public fundraisers throughout the year, the biggest of which is its Black Saturday event two days after Thanksgiving. This year, at the fifth annual event, you will find a huge crowd of adults and kids alike listening to music, playing lawn games, noshing at the food trucks and raising money for the Millers Foundation, which supports local charities. The brewery uses this annual fundraiser also to re-release its IBRIK Turkish Coffee Imperial Stout, a spicy “winter warmer,” which has gained a large local following.
“You give, and you’re going to get back,”added his wife, with obvious sincerity. “It just feels good to us. We love this industry and we love our community. We just try to do the right thing.” As part of Business Consortium for Arts Support, O’Connor is also the beer sponsor for Wells Theatre, and the company has donated money and space for a variety of other cultural ventures around town. “The arts are a huge part of what makes a community thrive and bright,” notes Kevin O’Connor, the co-owner responsible for production and sales.
In fact, O’Connor has options like Green Can Golden Ale and R&R Lager that serve as the perfect “gateway” brews for uninitiated craft beer drinkers. The result: their brewery and beer garden are always full with people of all ages, from every lifestyle and with a wide variety of beer tastes. “I’m very proud that this has turned into a space where a very eclectic, diverse group of people can come and hang out,” notes Kevin.
Monday - Thursday .... 11 - 8 Friday & Saturday ..... 11 - 9 Sunday . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 - 5
The O’Connors ensure that this diverse group remains involved with their brews through their Think Tank Society. Not only do the almost 200 members have their beers served in a special, larger-than-pint-sized mug each time they come in, but the annual membership fee also gives members the opportunity to try O’Connor’s new beers before everyone else, not to mention a bunch of other perks.
804-320-HOPS (4677)
“You give, and you’re going to get back,” added his wife, with obvious sincerity. “It just feels good to us. We love this industry and we love our community. We just try to do the right thing.” A beer for every taste Kevin and Penny believe that doing the right thing also means creating a lineup of beers that appeals to everyone. The brewery owners simply aren’t interested in being exclusionary with the brews they cook up.

. . . O’Connor Brewing Co. Continued According to Think Tank Society member, Carolyn Clark (she and her husband, Perry, have been regular O’Connor customers for year), “There are special concoctions for us to sample,” she explains. “While I still go back to my favorite (Green Can), I appreciate the complexities of the other varieties they offer.”
Locally sourced ingredients Being community-minded also extends to what goes into O’Connor’s brews. Typically the brewery’s beers have been “true to style,” but O’Connor is experimenting with a new test batch system—or smaller tanks with about 8 percent the capacity of the full-sized tanks—to create beers based on locally sourced ingredients. That includes everything from local fruits, vegetables and herbs to oysters. Yep, you read it right! O’Connor currently offers a beer called Bold Man Oyster Stout, which features subtly briny notes from those tasty bivalves from the Chesapeake Bay. (The beer’s name is a nod to the Jonathan Swift quote: “He was a bold man who first ate an oyster.”) One of O’Connor’s beer tenders, Alex Cantwell, who is a horticulturist by day, has even spearheaded the development of the O’Connor Hop and Grain Garden at the
Norfolk Botanical Gardens. This garden uses the hops and grains grown here for a small, very special batch of “wet-hop” beer every year. A humble, yet mighty craft brewery While the O’Connors and their team of 40 have grown the business to be the largest craft brewery in Norfolk and expanded distribution into the Outer Banks, Raleigh, Durham, Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington, D.C., the brewery had pretty meager beginnings when it opened in 2010. Back in those days, the couple had little more than a 5,000-square-foot space, a bunch of used equipment and a longtime passion for brewing beer. (Kevin’s first foray with brewing was on a hot plate in his college dorm room. (The school almost threw him out because of it!) Because they’ve never forgotten where they came from, Penny and Kevin are still pretty humble about it all, hence their tagline: “A humble, yet mighty craft brewery.” In fact, the O’Connor team has always lent a hand to new brewery players in town, and in turn, their fellow brewers, who are more friends than they are competitors, return the kindness on a regular basis. Kevin admits, “Every day is a new day. There’s always something we have to overcome or challenge ourselves with.” Apparently, it takes not only a community to raise a brewery but also a brewery to raise a community!

The Belgian Behemoth: Quadrupels by: David Wren
David Wren is a Certified Cicerone (R) in Richmond, VA with a serious passion for great beer. When he is not drinking beer, he works as a Human Resources and Operations Consultant with a local firm. He can be reached at dhwren@ gmail.com or 804-477-5481. Have you ever had a juicy venison steak with a typical lager and thought to yourself, “There has to be a better beer to go with this”? What about a dessert of super-rich chocolate cake and wanted a beer to wash it down with rather than wine or liquor? Are you the type of person who walks into a room and immediately sizes up every guy there to find the biggest, baddest one to pick a fight with? If any of these questions resonated with you, then look no further than the Belgian Strong Dark Ale (Quadrupel or Quad) style as your target tipple. The strongest of the Belgian ales and on the same level of vigor as the American Barleywine and Russian Imperial Stout, the Quad is a formidable opponent, indeed. Ranging between 8.0-11.0% ABV, the Quad packs the kind of body that would have the Commodores singing “Brick House.” Similar to the other Belgian
12 VACB Edition 15
numeric styles (Singel, Dubbel, and Tripel), the Quad was brewed by and relied upon by Trappist monks for sustenance during periods of fasting. They packed enough grain and goodness into these beers that they could sustain themselves for long periods by solely drinking Quads. For the rest of us, the Belgian Quad serves as one of the unique beasts in the beer world. They range from dark brown to black, with a beautiful tan head in color, and from dry to sweet in finish. They tend to drop a malt-bomb on the unsuspecting first-timer, but soon after reveal a complexity in flavor impossible to accomplish in most other styles. Flavors of caramel, toast and brea,d mixed with dark fruits like raisins, plums, black cherries, figs or prunes abound. Layered on top of the malty and fruity base can be peppery or spicy phenols (yeast by-products), as well as whatever adjunct flavors the brewer experiments with. Hops are very subdued, so drinkers who don’t prefer excessive bitterness can easily enjoy this style. If you are looking for a unique experience in beer drinking, try one of the following Quads brewed right here in Virginia.
Beer and Food Pairing
Quads to Try: Lickinghole Creek’s Bachelor’s Delight As formidable as the pirate ship for which it is named. Take a swig and you won’t care why the rum is all gone… Garden Grove’s Death A beer so monstrous you might wonder how they managed to keep it locked up in red wine barrels to age - A great companion to rich desserts. Hardywood Park’s Bourbon Barrel Cru Bourbon to beer is like bacon to food - it just makes everything better. The perfect beer for a cold night and a bonfire. Legend’s Quad An easy sipper that packs a punch - It is tough to beat a classic!
One of the major considerations to take when pairing beer and food is the relative intensities of beers and foods. If serving a light vinaigrette salad, a ferociously intense Belgian Quad is a poor choice – the beer will drown the flavors of the salad completely. Beer “intensity” is a product of its roastiness, body, bitterness, strength, or other factors affecting flavor and weight –- trust your taste buds! Quads pair well with strongly flavored or gamey meat, like venison, wild boar, pheasant, or duck. They also pair well with rich and decadent desserts like chocolate truffles or cheesecake.

Initiative educates, equips and mobilizes communities with the tools needed to be a force in the global movement to end human trafficking. Under the careful eye of Three Notch’d Brewery’s Brew Master Stefan McFayden, Synapse, RJI and dLCV participated in brewing the special “Hub Hopper” IPA. Hub Hopper does have a special meaning. In the world of Synapse, hubs are the non-profit centers where they hold networking meetings and hoppers are those Synapse business members who hop from hub to hub in order to network and help fulfill the mission of the non-profits.
Brew Coup!
A collaboration brew event with area businesses and musicians
By Henry Jennings
The weather and beer were cool, but the music and food were hot, as Three Notch’d Brewery Collab House in Scott’s Addition hosted a collaboration brew event with area businesses and musicians. They drew hundreds of supporters to benefit two local non-profits, Richmond Justice Initiative and Disability Law Center of Virginia. Steve Peterson & Associates, a Richmond based social media management and marketing firm, hatched the idea for Brew Coup!. The event was held on October 20, and was further supported by local businesses Synapse, Continental Divide, Three Notch’d Brewery and Richmond Americana rock band Brickwall Jackson. We caught up with event organizer and promoter, Steve Peterson, during the event. “I couldn’t be more pleased with the turnout,” Peterson said as he looked out over the audience. “Our firm supports both RJI and dLCV’s
14 VACB Edition 15
missions. Being able to support them through a Synapse and Three Notch’d inspired “Hub Hopper” collaboration brew, while providing great music and food helps to fulfill our mission of giving back, while hosting a top-notch collaborative event. A $10 donation was suggested for attendees, plus a percentage of the proceeds from the beer and food sales went directly to both non-profits.
We love creating mutually beneficial relationships and what we consider “win, win, win” scenarios The Disability Law Center of Virginia (dLCV), who helps clients with disability-related problems like abuse, neglect and discrimination, is the designated Protection and Advocacy organization of Virginia. Richmond Justice
Synapse member Joel Morgan and Brickwall Jackson’s John Hudak
RJI Executive Director, Jessica Willis, said, “Richmond Justice Initiative is so thankful for Steve Peterson & Associates for conceiving and producing an event with community organizations such as Synapse, Three Notch’d Brewery, and other local groups to raise awareness and make a difference for non-profit organizations. We at RJI know that it takes all of us coming together to accomplish the mission of preventing and ultimately ending human trafficking. Only when we link arms together to make a lasting difference, can the world change for the better one person at a time.”

The Synapse mission is to help businesses and non-profits in communities across the U.S. connect with one another to foster greater economic and community development. Their approach is to get the right people in the room to nurture more mutually beneficial business and non-profit relationships.

They’ve designed a tasting room adorned with images of the galaxy, big red booths and a copper topped bar, in an effort to stand out amongst distressed wood and metal motifs seen in so many other breweries. They have also improved upon their processes as a way to improve consistency with new a new packaging hall, canning line and a soon-to-be installed grain silo.

There are also plans in the works to break into the Washington D.C. area for distribution within the next year or so, which can only mean great things for COTU. They are growing their brewing program as well with the addition of their sister brewery, Origin Beer Lab, which is only about five miles from COTU. Origin Beer Lab has a 3-barrel brewing system where they are able to test out ideas for the main brewery, as well as brew experimental beers for different accounts they work with. If they find something that works well, they are able to scale it up for the main brewery, including four different

Expect to find favorite seasonals from every year they have been open, including Oaky Pokey, an Oak barrel aged version of Pocahoptas, The Richard, Black Dawn and an Orange Blossom Honey Ale, created in the Origin Beer Lab, just to name a few.

Instead of brewing a huge batch of a beer in hopes that their customers will like it, they can make small batches, ensure it will be a good choice, and then successfully scale it up for mass production.
During my visit, I was lucky enough to witness the bottling of a fan-favorite, El Duderino, a White Russian milk stout. This seasonal delicacy is one of the beers that help people remember Center of the Universe amongst its many competitors. However, with all of the competition for people’s attention, COTU focuses on consistency in their core of beers. “How does a brewery in Hanover stay relevant in Richmond?” asks co-founder Chris Ray. “It’s because we’re the beer people can rely on if they’re going to go visit friends or family or go to a party. They can go pick up a six pack and know it’s going to be good.” This ideal is the focal point for everything that COTU does; they want their beer to taste great in all places! COTU gives its fans the opportunity to join their Satellite Program, in which they can build up points for being consistent and faithful customers. Using those points, Satellite members get upgraded glasses, merchandise and eventually a chance to collaborate on a beer in the Origin Beer Lab, or bring back a small batch of a missed favorite. A

As Chris Ray said, “Consistency is Key!” Whether you make your way out to Center of the Universe to see the new tasting room, or visit Origin Beer Lab to try something a little different, you can rest assured that whatever you drink will be out of this world!

Spencer Devon
-The Brew, The Proud
by: John Biscoe
Shawn Phillips - Owner
Spencer Devon Brewing is not a normal local brewery and restaurant nor is Shawn Phillips a normal brewery owner (if such a creature exists). The facility nestles among the historic features of Olde Towne Fredericksburg, VA, dubbed “America’s Most Historic City” due to a rich tapestry of events and people in both Colonial times and the Civil War . George Washington’s sister Betty lived a few scant blocks from the doors of Spencer Devon and Washington himself dwelled just across the Rappahannock as a boy. Some of the fiercest fighting of the War Between the States also occurred in Fredericksburg. Today Olde Towne Fredericksburg is a thriving mix of small business and
22 VACB Edition 15
history based tourism. Eschewing more industrial settings on the outskirts of the city as favored by most of the local brewing community Phillips opted to open Spencer Devon Brewing in prime downtown space. On April 1, 2015 Spencer Devon served their first guests. Virtually all of Shawn Phillips adult life (24 years) was spent in the United States Marine Corps. The obvious career change upon leaving was to grow hair and a beard and open a brewery and restaurant. When Phillips was a child in North Carolina his mother took him to their local farm markets. During his Marine Corps
service he continued the habit, seeking out markets where he was stationed and seeking to “Immerse yourself in the community and make the community richer for your presence.” Spencer Devon follows the same model. The brewery bears the name Phillips intended for a son he never had (he has daughters) and he talks about it with the pride of a father for his child. One of The Marines well known slogans is “The Few, The Proud” and pride is a constant theme at Spencer Devon as well., not in an overweening sense but rather the pride of a commitment to a particular set of goals and bringing those goals to fruition. Shawn takes justifiable pride in the fact that his establishment makes award winning beer. Spencer Devon’s Royston Rye IPA was recently chosen Grand Champion in the Strong Ale Category at the Winter United States Beer Tasting Championship. He takes justifiable pride in serving great food that is sensibly grown. These are not the things which drive him however. When asked what means most to him about Spencer Devon his responses involve the jobs he is able to provide his employees, the relationships he has established with small local farms and the ability to contribute to the betterment of his community. He is proud of helping pork purveyor Schlund Family Farm get off the ground (Spencer Devon accounts for over half of their pork sales). He is proud that his beef comes from Monrovia Farm, a Virginia Centennial Farm in Orange County.
Olde Towne Fredericksburg dubbed “America’s Most Historic City”
Phillips is committed to “buying into the farmer’s dream” and to helping make that dream a reality. Spent grain from Spencer Devon’s brews feeds the hogs at Schlund Family Farm. Both the food and beer
menus in the restaurant feature continuous nods to local sourcing and names and stories which are steeped in local history. Among the brews on the chalkboard outside the restaurant on the day of this interview are Cornatopia Cream Ale and Snead’s Squash Harvest Ale. The Cornatopia was brewed with sweet corn from local farmer Emmett Snead and Virginia malt barley from Tony Kvasnicka’s Longleaf Farm near Petersburg. The Squash Harvest Ale draws sweetness from Snead’s Georgia Candy Roaster heirloom squash . Ellerslie Farm in nearby King George County provides the hops for several of the beers. When referring to the inputs of his business Phillips uses the term “cognitively raised” and avoids typical catchphrases

such as “free range”, ‘organic” or “sustainable” as feel good terms for an ill-informed population. The idea that people adopt these terms without truly understanding their meanings doesn’t work for him. His take on it all is much more experiential, referencing the first hand moments he has spent at the various farms and the relationships built with the farmers. He says “Rationally, I should buy cheaper product but I’ll close the place down before I abandon my belief structure” followed shortly by “I am not in this to be a millionaire.” Shawn’s belief is simply that such food is “what I would prefer to eat so I serve that to my guests”. In the course of our conversation Phillips repeatedly refers to his clientele as his “guests.” Not once do I hear the word “customer.”
“Immersing yourself in the community” manifests itself in many ways. In July Spencer Devon partnered with the Spotsy Disc Golf Club and 7 other local breweries for the inaugural FXBG Brewery Putt Through- a sort of pub crawl with Frisbees. Two local homebrewing clubs were involved in the creation of Spencer
Devon’s Soleil Levant Witbeir. For Small Business Saturday following Thanksgiving Spencer Devon offered discounted beer for guests bringing in a receipt from other local small shops. Phillips is genuinely committed to leaving Fredericksburg better than he found it. Spencer Devon’s plans for 2018 include a New Year’s Eve Block Party and 8 separate festivals including a St Patrick’s Day celebration, a local Fall Hop Harvest Festival, and what is now their annual “Beards and Brews” festival in November. Phillips also has plans for a combined Art Show and Beer Fest with local artists pairing with local breweries. Among upcoming beer offerings are a return of their award winning Rocko’s Milk Stout (named for a departed dog) and the new Snowbird Wheat Wine featuring local ginger from Snowbird Farms. Also new on the agenda is a relationship with The Underground Kitchen from Richmond. Their first “gastropub takeover” was held in November with quarterly events as well as an Underground Kitchen brew to come. Head Brewer Jeff Hyatt and Executive Chef Brandon Bundy complete the Spencer Devon braintrust. They share Phillip’s commitment to bringing his vision to life on a day to day basis in Fredericksburg. In his words “In starting Spencer Devon I wanted something I could be proud of and the community can be proud of as well.” They are well on their way.

Pints, Peaks and Paddles: By: Nolan Shigley Waynesboro: The Hub of Outdoor Adventure and Craft Beer
once the trail reaches the Humpback Rocks area. Rain had brought swollen creeks and streams that spilled down the mountains and created slick rocks. Rustic ruins of homesteads and cemeteries provided ghostly scenes in the thick mist. Settler history is rich in this area, and there is evidence throughout the deep forests. The visitor center off the Blue Ridge Parkway illustrates this further, with relocated 19th century cabins and farm structures. On a clear day, a demanding climb up to the rocks provides hikers and runners short of breath commanding views of the Shenandoah Valley, distant Alleghenies and nearby Three Ridges, along with countless other ancient mountains. Two
While Basic City recalls the historic industry that once thrived in Waynesboro, Seven Arrows celebrates the natural side of the region
The Blue Ridge Mountains dominate the Waynesboro skyline as Shenandoah National Park and its southern district veer north while the Blue Ridge Parkway and its trail system travel southward. Both national parks provide an adventurous playground for nature lovers, while Waynesboro acts as the hub for outdoor adventure. Nestled in the Shenandoah Valley, just west of Rockfish Gap, the mountain town that provides a place to rest for backcountry enthusiasts has now become an attraction for beer geeks as well. In the company of a 60-year old running partner, Bob Weaver, the rocky, rooty, rugged single-track of the Blue Ridge’s deep wilderness has become our trail-running home as pints of ale await us down in the valley. Our initial trip to the area was an easy jaunt up Bear Den and Calf

Mountains in the southern tip of Shenandoah National Park, heading out from Jarman’s Gap. A warm June day found us running among wildflowers along the Appalachian Trail and over its more gentle peaks. An appropriate section to begin a season as the trail is less technical and the inclines are forgiving. Views of a meadow full of buzzing pollinators, lush rolling mountains and a distant glimpse of Waynesboro down below greeted us at the end of each climb. On a recent cool, densely foggy autumn day, we followed the fallen leaves that littered the Appalachian Trail from Rockfish Gap to Humpback Rocks. This particular stretch of AT is pretty popular with those who want a quick spot immediately off of I-64 and becomes increasingly busy
other quick trips from Waynesboro include brilliantly scenic panoramas in the south district of Shenandoah. One of the countless superb circuit routes of Shenandoah, Riprap Hollow, includes plenty of the Appalachian Trail, which provides the spine for most circuits throughout the 100mile long park. The challenging Riprap course leads to the deepest pool in the park, but even on a balmy day, the water can chill you to the bone. Like so many of the trails

. . . Pints, Peaks, and Paddles Continued in the south district, epic views west of the Shenandoah Valley include our gathering place along the South River that quenches our thirst after tough days in the mountains. Turk Mountain is a short, but challenging climb up to a craggy spot that provides splendid vistas of the valley. A popular hike due its distance, Turk Mountain is the perfect add-on to a long day of trail running. As our legs fatigue and we have our fill of Blue Ridge vistas, we yearn for glasses of freshly brewed craft ales. The newly opened Basic City and Seven Arrows breweries regularly douse the fire in our throat caused
by climbing single-track for hours at a time. Basic City Beer Company was our first taste of Waynesboro as we showed up on a blazing summer day. The brewery commemorates the “lost town” of Basic City that was once thriving with industry, while sitting at the crossroads of two major railroads. However, the city soon fell to the hardships of depression and that forced it to consolidate with Waynesboro. The edgy industrial structure of Basic City Beer Co. pays homage to this once thriving economic town with its many reclaimed materials, as it functions out of a former industrial complex.
This mountain town that provides a place to rest for backcountry enthusiasts has now become an attraction for beer geeks as well. On a typical humid Virginia June day, it was best to enjoy light ales and lagers in the comfort of the air-conditioned brewery. Thank you to those of the Industrial Revolution! The Waynesbeeroh lager is an appropriate choice to begin with, as it is light with hints of lemon for a refreshing quench. Basic City has an ample selection of hoppy, citrusy IPA as well that provides the perfect pint after a tough day in grueling temperatures. The Bask DIPA is described as a “tropical juiciness” due to its intense amount of mosaic, amarillo and citra hops. Highly drinkable and coming in at 7.6%, a couple of these and you might have the feeling you were at a much higher altitude than the surrounding Blue Ridge could provide.

. . . Pints, Peaks, and Paddles Continued While Basic City recalls the historic industry that once thrived in Waynesboro, Seven Arrows celebrates the natural side of the region. The brewery’s name derives from a Native American prayer that pays respect to the earth’s creation. The artwork decorating the brewery also demonstrates the passion for wilderness and the region’s favorite natural features. Appropriately enough, the owners of the company are both ultra-runners as well, so Weaver and I felt completely in our comfort zone. On a chilly November evening when the early sunset had arrived, we relished hearty rustic glasses of ale that remind us of autumn. The piney, spicy Eventide Red IPA has earthy flavors of fallen leaves. With a nice caramel malt profile, it is the perfect beer to replenish those spent calories. The malty Hermenator Dopplebock with flavors of dark fruit was another excellent choice for the cool temperatures, but our favorite may have been the Misty Trail Pale Ale. No other beer could have more appropriately summed up a day of trail running in the dense fog under peak foliage. The freshly wet hopped
ale reminded us of the damp conditions outdoors with a golden color reminiscent of the American beech and hickory trees, and the cozy toasty notes like the cabin campfire we had come across shortly before.
Q & A with head brewer, Danny Wolf Wild Wolf Brewing Company
Wild Wolf Brewing Company received a silver medal at the 2017 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) competition. GABF is the largest commercial beer competition in the world and recognizes the most outstanding beers produced in the United States. The top three winners in the competition’s 98 beer-style categories were announced on October 7th at the Great American Beer Festival awards ceremony held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado. VACB -- 1- When did you first brew this version of the American Stout? Danny Wolf – We first brewed the American stout as part of the original house beer lineup. The recipe has stayed the same over the past seven years. VACB --2- What are the biggest challenges to getting a stout to turn out like you hope? Danny Wolf – I think the biggest challenge to a stout is getting both the color you want and the roast level you want, while minimizing astringency. Also getting the American hop character to put out from behind all the flavor is a challenge.
Whether you are trail running the countless miles of Blue Ridge wilderness, hiking across the country, skiing the slopes or paddling the South River, Waynesboro is divinely placed among the adventure. The town is a designated Appalachian Trail Community and easily accessible by any means of transportation. Thankfully, Waynesboro is now a place to fill a growler after sipping craft beer in historic surroundings as well.
VACB--3- Without giving away secrets, can you give us insights to the grain used? Danny Wolf – Most of our specialty malts were Weyermann®. I especially enjoy their roast malt, and use a blend of them. VACB -- 4- Is there another stout out there you really enjoy? Danny Wolf There have been many awesome types of stout in the area over the years. Three of my favorites have been Dark Hollow from Blue Mountain, Dark Starr from Starr Hill and the Dead Bear from Backbone.

On Labor Day 2017, Young Veterans Brewing Company partnered with Combat Wounded Coalition, The Semper Fi Fund, Virginia Craft Brews Publication, Legacy Venture Giving & First Command Financial Services for an amazing, family friendly, fundraising event. It was in Chesapeake at Combat Coalition and wounded wear. It featured a Cornhole Tournament, two amazing food trucks (Pittsburgh’s Best & Four spices Mediterranean ), two large bounce houses, and of course a wonderful tent of Young Veterans brews. KnockerBall of Hampton Roads was also on hand to turn up the energy level! There was also a large shopping space dedicated to selling wounded wear clothing, which also featured LuLaRoe. Many substantial gifts were raffled off in strolling raffle style, and YVBC and Combat Wounded Coalition donated amazing beer related items. This event also featured its own classic t-shirt to commemorate the fourth anniversary for Young Veterans, and the relationship with Combat Wounded. Bennett Wales of Bennett Wales and The Relief provided solo music, with originals and some stirring covers, including a powerful “This Little Light of Mine”.
Homeowners Tom and Sherry sold their ranch home and bought this lovely colonial using LVG, resulting in a donation of over $2,000 to their favorite charity, from agent commissions.
