Big Lick Brewing Company has expanded in Downtown Roanoke with the relocation and opening of its new West Station facility.
The new spot is the latest in a string of exciting announcements and openings for the craft beer scene in Virginia’s Blue Ridge!
Originally founded in 2014 as Roanoke’s first nanobrewery, Big Lick Brewing Company outgrew its location at 135 Salem Avenue and made the transition to the beautiful new facility down the street at 409 Salem Avenue as part of Downtown Roanoke’s West Station District.
The amazing new space now has a capacity for nearly 300 guests (150 indoor & 150 outdoor), plus a private room that can be reserved and accommodate an additional 50 people.
Whether you grab a seat at the bar, hang out with a group at a high top table, or relax around one of the fire pits in the fantastic outdoor beer garden, you’ll love spending part of your Blue Ridge Day at Big Lick Brewing Company.
The new space also allows the brewery to increase its production, meaning more delicious beer! Big Lick established a reputation among local craft beer lovers as one of the best breweries in Virginia’s Blue Ridge, and has received acclaim from various publications and at local beer festivals.
Big Lick Brewing Company will also stay true to its roots of constantly rotating what’s on tap and offering a variety of special and experimental brews, covering a broad range of beer styles, flavors and preferences. With 24 taps, it’s the perfect spot to introduce your palette to many different brews.
You’ll also be able to take great beer home with you with cans, growlers, and crowlers available for purchase, in addition to lots of fun Big Lick Brewing Company swag.
