Great Emerging Beer Scene


Big Lick, Twin Creeks, Parkway, Olde Salem Brewing Company, Hammer & Forge, Chaos Mt., Ballast Point, Deschutes, and more!

depending on their interests, Roanoke has an Opera, Ballet, Symphony, and traveling Broadway plays, better than you would imagine for town of this size.

Star City Brewing Guild - monthly meetings, quarterly contests, help out at Beer Fests.

www.roanokeskiclub.org - local (Roanoke City has a very inexpensive bus to WV resorts), and long distance ski trips, cruises, sailing, beach trips, and lots more, plus monthly happy hours. No other ski club in the Country does what we do.

local Porsche club, instructing at VIR and other tracks.

Parrott Heads of the Blue Ridge - Jimmy Buffett fans.

The Harvester Performance Center in Rocky Mt:

Restaurants, we don't have 10 of everything but we generally have 1 or 2 and they are pretty good.

Fun Festivals - Salem Fair, Microfestivus (92 breweries last August), Festival in the Park, Strawberry Festival, Olde Salem Days, Smith Mt. Lake Wine Fest, Blue Ridge Folklife Festival, and the most Difficult Marathon in the world (not kidding).
Some others:

Various dance clubs, meetups.

Smith Mt. Lake nearby

Easy access to the A.T. and Blue Ridge Parkway

Hop Skip and Jump from Blacksburg and the Hokies!
