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.

5.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
NIce crisp copper coloured body with a dense, tan three centimetre tall head. Aroma of malt, cardboard, caramel and a very light sugar scent. Light-bodied; Deep pungent malt, metal and very funky flavoured body, most reminiscent of a warm bud lite. Aftertaste shows some light bitterness with some metal and not much else - not too great. Overall, a deep beer that shows more/different flavours and nothing special through the profile. I sampled this twelve ounce purchase from Total Wine on Alexandria, VA for US$8,99 / six pack, sampled at home in Washington on 25-September-2015.
