Description:
The Blacksburg Partnership, a non-profit economic development organization, announces the third annual Blacksburg Brew Do, the area’s biggest and finest craft beer festival. The event will be held at the First and Main Shopping District on Saturday, September 24, 2011 from noon to 6:00 pm, rain or shine.

Last fall’s Brew Do event drew over 3,500 festival goers, and 20 breweries pouring over 40 different beer varieties. This year the festival welcomes back the best in craft brewers from the Mid Atlantic region, offering another outstanding selection of beer, ales, and pilsners. Delicious food and live entertainment will compliment a great day of beer tasting at a premier Blacksburg shopping destination.

Two exciting new elements to this year’s festival are tailgate games and the introduction of Howls and Meows. The tailgating area, sponsored by Windsor Hills Apartments, will feature lawn game favorites and a score board showing the real-time score of the Virginia Tech vs. Marshall University football game. In collaboration with the NRV Homebuilders Association, Howls and Meows is a fundraiser benefitting the Humane Society of Montgomery County. Through Howls and Meows, luxury pet houses will be designed, constructed, and publicly displayed in the weeks leading up to and at Blacksburg Brew Do. Raffle tickets will be sold for each pet house with the raffle winners announced after the festival.

The third annual Blacksburg Brew Do Home Brew Competition sponsored by Bull & Bones Brewhaus & Grill is also now under way. Home brewers across the region are invited to see how their special recipe stacks up against the competition. The contest will culminate at the festival with the announcement of “Best in Show” and the winner receiving the opportunity to brew their recipe as a seasonal beer at Bull & Bones.

Popular local bands Laura Beth and the Clover Hollow Boys and The JugBusters will kick off the Brew Do entertainment. Headlining the festival is Ashleigh Caudill and Narrow Gauge, a nationally-known traditional bluegrass band seen across the U.S. at festivals such as Merle Fest.
