Hey, the RTD has a pretty inclusive update of brewery and cider news.

Billy Pie -Better go now

Hello;

Well, we tried it and liked it.

Its not romantic or laid back, its is brightly lit and lound.

There are no secluded out of the way corners, and the space is pretty small so I would nto try to bring a large group.

The menu is small but every item on it seems to be a gem.

I'd go now before the UR kids are back, because you'll never get in while school is in session.

Anthony Bourdain reported dead. Damn it.

Brewer's Cafe in Manchester

Hello again;

I just stopped for a quick coffee at Brewer's Cafe in Manchester.

I was suprised to see they have a full ABC liscence, and a small but craft oriented smattering of bourbons.

That's not usual for coffee shops in Richmond.

They are not going for the cheap shot of rail rotgut crowd, I suppose they want to keep it upscale.

If I'm the last one to learn about this feel free to mock me in the comments.

By far the most scenic brewery I have ever been to is Wood Ridge Farm Brewery

If you really want to get a great look at the area around Nelson County and enjoy some craft beer, Wood Ridge Farm Brewery is a must see.

I went on day with on again, off again showers.

I went up to the second floor of the tasting room, and from the wrap around balcony on the second floor i could see all around the area, and watch as mousntains in the area went from verdant green, to softer grays and blues as the storms swept in, to emerging again into sunshiness after the squalls had passed.

They are very dog friendly, and they have a clevger twist on the rules that govern the area.


In Virginia ia you can't have dogs in building where food or beer is made.


The food is made in a freestanding food truck, and the beer is brewed in a diferent building than the tasting room.

That means you can have dogs in the tasting room.

I can't overstate how nice this place is as a spot to sit and enjoy great scenery.

Just to be clear-the food truck is a food truck, but it sits on the brewery site as a home base, so you always have a food option. This is not a hit or miss food truck situation.
