Each year, the readers of <\/span>Blue Ridge Outdoors <\/i><\/a><\/strong>nominate and vote for their favorite businesses, attractions, adventures, and more in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. This year, over 200,000 votes were received in 50 categories. The results are in, and the Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail is officially the Best Beer\/Wine\/Spirits Trail of 2023!<\/span><\/p>\n Consisting of 17 breweries all located within an hour\u2019s drive of each other, the Beerwerks Trail guides beer enthusiasts to discover award-winning craft beer in a variety of styles. Along with producing the best craft beer, the breweries are ideally situated to access the Shenandoah Valley\u2019s natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and proximity to dining with an emphasis on farm-to-table fare. The Beerwerks Trail provides access to vibrant downtown and cultural scenes, national parks and forests, and historical sites. What are you waiting for? Hop on the Trail today!<\/span><\/p>\n The Beerwerks Trail travels through the Valley and is divided into three zones from north to south.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Plan your route today!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s also a great idea to pick up a newly-redesigned <\/span>Beerwerks Passport<\/a><\/strong> at a Beerwerks brewery or visitor center. Not only can you keep track of the breweries you\u2019ve visited, but you can also work toward earning each year\u2019s free t-shirt. Just get your Passport stamped at 8 Beerwerks breweries within two zones and send it in to receive your \u201cDrink-in the Valley\u201d t-shirt. The color for 2023 is military green, which goes with everything in your wardrobe. Wear it with jeans. Wear it to work out. Sleep in it. Dress it up with heels and lipstick!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since 2016, this popular program has marked over 52,000 stamps and awarded almost 7,500 shirts. Get your Passport and start earning those stamps!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You won\u2019t be able to stick to just one, but you have to start somewhere, right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Visit our <\/span>events page<\/a><\/strong> for an up-to-date roundup of brewery fun!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nWant to visit?<\/span><\/h2>\n
