We are thinking of our neighbors in SWVA and are grateful for the first responders and organizations that are providing assistance. Virginia's Blue Ridge region (Cities of Roanoke & Salem and Counties of Botetourt, Franklin, & Roanoke) was fortunate to sustain minimal damage from the storm and our local businesses are open and ready to welcome visitors.

A Few Old Goats Brewing (aka AFOG) opened our first 2-barrel nano-brewery in 2018 on the west end of Downtown Roanoke. In 2024 we opened our second location in the Town of Buchanan where we exceeded our goal to create a space where the community can come together to enjoy quality craft beer and foster connections.
Kenny and Joyce and Curtis and Lisa met after moving from the greater Cleveland area and discovered their mutual love of beer and brewing. This shared passion gave them the bright idea of opening up a brewery (we know…how original!). So...they tried, they did, and…well…they still are! You can often catch them slinging beers, brewing beers, and maybe even doing “quality control” when they’re not working.
Oh…right…the brewery. Because we’re small (see above) we often rotate through beers quickly. We rarely brew the same thing in successive sessions (unless it gets crushed) so you will often find something new on draft nearly every week. Speaking of new, we look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones in Buchanan!
PS..We are a dog friendly space! We just ask that they be kept on a short leash.
