It has been anticipated in the Chesterfield & Midlothian area for some time.  Announcements of brewery after brewery opening in the Richmond area, Shockoe Bottom, Scotts Addition, Cary Town.   When would it be our turn.  When would someone come and brew in Midlothian.  We drink beer too!  Well my friends, the wait is OVER!  Steam Bell Beer Works, located at 1717 Oak Lake Blvd in Midlothian, officially opens its doors to the public this weekend with an 11 hour marathon that starts at 1pm and

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not especially a fan of Budweiser or Bud Light.  Some people like it, and if you are one of those people, I am happy you have a beer you enjoy.  Last week, the announcement of Anheuser Busch Inbev SA (NYSE:BUD) plans to acquire one of Virginia's favorite craft brewers, Devils Backbone set the craft beer world a buzz.    There were many that were upset and they took to social media to express their disappointment: @dbbrewingco sells out to @AnheuserBusch

Ok - So I know that many people have their own take on this, BUT, none of them is strictly focused on Virginia Beers in their pairing lists.  In fact, most seem to pull from the West Coast, if for no other reason than that is where the publishing entities be.  With that said, the number of Virginia Beers that could pair very well with Girl Scout Cookies is way to numerous to list here, so I am sure that I may not catch your favorite.  Please forgive me and feel free to offer your own suggestions

Tis the Season
