Blue Ridge Parkway Beer Road Trip Stops in Roanoke Region
The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most scenic byways in the U.S., a ribbon of asphalt tracing the Blue Ridge that not only provides drivers with epic views, but also allows them to access the outdoors. The parkway is a gateway to hiking, biking, fishing, and more in the Appalachians, and now you can add beer to the list.Â
Paste Magazine highlighted Roanoke, Virginia as a must-see stop in their guide to the beer of the Blue Ridge Parkway. In the appropriately titled Best Damn Beer Road Trip: Blue Ridge Parkway, Paste first implores readers to visit the Taubman Museum of Art in the “big city” of Roanoke. Author James Stafford then says the beer to try in the Roanoke Region is Soaring Ridge Craft Brewers, and recommends White Tip White Ale.Â
Soaring Ridge is one of the Region’s newest breweries, and the Roanoke Region has a total of 14 craft brewers in operation with more on the way. Roanoke’s reputation as a beer city is getting around and people are beginning to take notice.Â
