• Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company features a 17-barrel brewhouse with 190 barrel fermentation capacity, plus a cozy taproom built from salvaged pallets and bourbon barrels. Stop by for a pint! There’s also Smooth Ambler Distillery, which makes whiskey, gin, vodka and more. Tours and tastings are available. For something different, head to Hawk Knob Hard Cider for cider made from heritage fruit.
