About
We love our home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and we love the Blue Ridge Parkway, a 469 mile scenic journey of mountainous wonder that showcases the natural beauty and unique heritage of our region. Beautiful vistas, distinctive music, oddball characters and fantastical folklore are just a few of the things that make our home a special place. It’s enough to make a person mighty thirsty.
The story of Parkway Brewing Company is a love story, a story that embodies the American Dream, a story of do-it-yourself determination, a story that continues on an exciting journey- much like the scenic highway for which Parkway Brewing is named. Two couples with a dream: a Master Brewer with a scientist’s brain and an artist’s palate, a visionary instigator with a dogged determination and their two creative and clever wives saw craft beer culture exploding across the nation and wanted to bring it home to the mountains of SW Virginia.
Since opening in 2013 on Kessler Mill Road in tiny Salem, Virginia, Parkway Brewing Company has not only created some of the state’s tastiest brews, but we’ve created a place that has brought together a community of like-minded, free-spirited beer lovers with a penchant for the great outdoors.

Cocka Doodle Brew Coffee Ale from Parkway Brewing Company

7.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8.5
Draft: Milk chocolate, coffee, lemongrass aroma. Clear amber, thin head, good lacing.Milk chocolate, hazelnut, lemongrass. Toblerone and hops if you can imagine. Medium body, easy carbonation. Nice layering and complexity. Kind of weird, but in a good way. I feel like I’ve used that exact phrase about a different Parkway beer.

Seeing Colors Spiced Autumn Ale from Parkway Brewing Company
10 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle from Kroger. Pours clear copper with a frothy off-white head. Smells of chai, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, nutmeg perhaps. Taste is pumpkin spice, dried leaves, chai, black tea, pumpkin. Has a really nice flavor, but it doesn’t stack up to others. I’m enjoying this as I’m drinking it, but I’ll bet I forget about it.
