Fall in the Shenandoah Valley brings crisp air, endless blue skies, and brilliantly colored trees. It\u2019s also the peak of cider season, and fortunately, you can enjoy both fall foliage and cider along the Beerwerks Trail. Here\u2019s your guide to area roads and walks that are favored by leaf peepers as well as nearby Beerwerks breweries that serve cider along with delicious craft beer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Skyline Drive<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Arguably one of the best roads in the country for leisure drives, the <\/span>Skyline Drive<\/strong><\/span><\/a> runs through <\/span>Shenandoah National Park<\/a><\/strong> for 105 miles. You\u2019ll love the endless panoramic views and the blankets of colorful trees spreading to the Valley floor below. Stop at one (or several) of more than 75 overlooks and trailheads. You\u2019ll see species like red oak and chestnut growing high on the ridges, giving way to mixed hardwood and yellow poplar forests at lower elevations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brothers Craft Brewing<\/strong><\/span><\/a> created <\/span>Blonde Betty<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in collaboration with Bold Rock. It\u2019s \u201can Imperial American Blonde Ale with juice from fresh pressed apples\u2026and a healthy dose of pie spice.\u201d While not technically a cider, it hits all the apple-y, spicy fall notes you\u2019ve been looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rockfish Gap Entrance Station is 15 minutes from Seven Arrows Brewing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Relax in the large taproom or in one of the outdoor spaces at <\/span>Seven Arrows Brewing<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and enjoy the tastes of fall with their <\/span>Harvested Apple Lager<\/a><\/strong>, which uses 30% cider.
