Breweries in this area are becoming more and more scarce. With Old Dominion Brewery moving to Delaware, we're left with our local brewpubs and not much else. Baltimore is one option, but for a more scenic beer getaway, heading down into the area around Charlottesville is the way to go. In the last couple years, some new breweries have sprouted up and others have expanded. The result is a vibrant beer community that emphasizes local ingredients and fresh, tasty beer. It's a roughly 2.5 hour drive out to Charlottesville, but if you want to break up the drive, a detour to Sperryville to visit Copper Fox adds only 20 minutes to your driving time.

Last week, we caught up with Rick Wasmund, CEO and Master Distiller at the Copper Fox Distillery in Sperryville, VA. Their Wasmund's Single-Malt Whisky is the only spirit of its kind in the world, and it was great to get inside the head of the guy who makes it. To meet the distiller in person, Wasmund is doing an event at Marvin tonight at 5:30 p.m. He'll be pouring samples of Wasmund's Batch 20 and, hopefully, the Shenandoah Lemonade cocktail mentioned down in the interview.
