For Soaring Ridge Craft Brewers, It Couldn’t Be A Better Time For A Grand Opening

Any celebration is inherently a time to celebrate both the positive aspects of what’s new and to spend some time revisiting memories of times past. For American Craft Beer Week, I always think of this in terms of finding new favorite beers but also going back to remember old favorites as well. It tends to give a sense of things coming full circle. For Soaring Ridge Craft Brewers, one of Roanoke’s newest breweries, today’s Grand Opening couldn’t have been scheduled any better, as it does just that. As many Roanoke craft curious may well know, Soaring Ridge has ties to the past, as Brew Master Sean Osborne was the man behind Big Daddy’s Brewing, and therefore behind such familiar beers as Trail Head Nut Brown Ale, and the pale ale Virginia Creeper. Those beers – indeed, along with a few new ones – will be the focus of their Grand Opening ribbon cutting ceremony happening today, according to a post on their Facebook page, at 4:30pm. So come out and celebrate American Craft Beer Week in Roanoke by getting a taste of an old favorite, as well as perhaps finding a new one, all while toasting Soaring Ridge’s official opening.
