With Thanksgiving just a few days away, you’ve probably already planned your menu. But what will you be drinking? Have you considered pairing your turkey and trimmings with beer instead of wine? It’s the perfect way to share your favorite local craft beer with your family, and to begin a new family tradition.
The following breweries on the Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail have growlers-to-go, just in time for your Thanksgiving feast.
Near Harrisonburg
Near Lexington
Near Staunton
- Redbeard Brewing Co.
- Shenandoah Valley Brewing Company
- Queen City Brewing (bring your own growlers)
Near Waynesboro
Growlers give you the ability to take home beers that aren’t bottled by the breweries, so you’ll have a wider range of choices. These are refillable half-gallon bottles that are filled at the brewery. If you don’t have a growler, most breweries sell them – but it’s best to call ahead to verify growlers are in stock.
Happy Thanksgiving, and please don’t wait more than a day or two to tap the growler for best taste. Cheers!
