Twin Creeks Brewing Announces Plans for Second Location At FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Brittany Smith ​ [email protected] (540) 420-2893 Raise Your Glasses: Twin Creeks Brewing Announces Plans for Second Location at Explore Park Twin Creek Brewing’s new taproom and brewery will be located inside of Explore Park’s historic Brugh Tavern ROANOKE, VA (April 5th, 2019)- Twin Creeks Brewing Company is pleased to announce ​ ​ ​ plans for their second location, Twin Creeks Brewing at Explore Park, opening in the fall of ​ ​ 2019. They will be partnering with Roanoke County Parks, Recreation and Tourism to bring the ​ ​ historic Brugh Tavern back to life through local beer, food, and entertainment. Upon adoption of the lease agreement by Roanoke County’s Board of Supervisors later this month, Twin Creeks Brewing at Explore Park will occupy all three levels of The Brugh Tavern, (3900 Rutrough Road, Roanoke VA 24014), which was built in between 1792-1800 and originally located near the Great Wagon Road in Botetourt County. Brugh Tavern was relocated to Explore Park and dedicated on April 28, 1998, as an upscale, historic-ambiance restaurant. The main body of the building facing the central lawn is original construction, while the back portion of the building and industrial kitchen were added when the building was relocated. One of the main highlights of this beautiful building is a cozy basement area with stone walls and floors, which Twin Creeks Brewing at Explore Park plans to transform into a rustic wine and cider cellar. While final details are in the works, visitors can anticipate enjoying freshly brewed beer from the ½ BBL brewhouse on site, which will specialize in farmhouse ales, as well as flagship beers brewed at the original Vinton location. Alongside the Twin Creeks taps, a line-up of local cider and wine will also be offered. In the beginning stages, Twin Creeks Brewing at Explore Park will be partnering with local food trucks- however, a full kitchen with a fresh, locally sourced menu is in future plans. Guests can enjoy a pint by one of the outdoor fire pits on the lawn, savor a glass of wine by one of the indoor fireplaces or invite the whole gang over to spend the evening in a private event space. And there will be no lack of entertainment- Twin Creeks Brewing is known for a great live music scene in their Vinton tap room, and will carry on the tradition at Explore Park. The concept of Twin Creeks Brewing at Explore Park originated in the fall of 2018 when Co-Owner and Brewer of Twin Creeks, Andy Bishop, met with Doug Blount, Director of Parks, Recreation and Tourism for Roanoke County. “We spoke about the amazing space that Brugh Tavern offers and about all of the new and upcoming park amenities,” said Bishop, who opened Twin Creeks Brewing Company in Vinton with co-owners Jason Bishop and Barry Robertson in 2016. “Twin Creeks had been looking for an expansion opportunity, and Brugh Tavern and Explore Park will be a great fit to the Twin Creeks Brewing brand and image.” According to Blount, "We're very excited to have an existing Roanoke County eco-tourism business ready to partner with Explore Park to operate a brewery and bistro at Brugh Tavern. This potential partnership creates a new attraction at Explore Park, allowing us to provide not only quality food and beverage services for our community, but also to the 15 million visitors per year who travel the Blue Ridge Parkway. We look forward to presenting the lease agreement to the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors for consideration on April 23.” About Twin Creeks Brewing Company: Twin Creeks Brewing is about family, friends and great times together. Twin Creeks was born in southwest Virginia and is locally owned by brewers who grew up, learned to brew and came to craft award-winning ales and lagers here in the Roanoke Valley.

For a behind-the-scenes look at taproom events and ​ ​ brewing, follow along on Facebook (www.facebook.com/twincreeksbrewing) or on Instagram ​ ​ (@twincreeksbrewing).

  • A Herpetological Survey of Dixie Caverns and Explore Park in Roanoke, Virginia and the Wehrle’S Salamander
    A Herpetological Survey of Dixie Caverns and Explore Park in Roanoke, Virginia and the Wehrle’s Salamander Matthew Neff Department of Herpetology National Zoological Park Smithsonian Institution MRC 5507, Washington, DC 20013 Introduction The Virginia Herpetological Society (VHS) Dixie Caverns Survey was held at Dixie Caverns and Explore Park in Roanoke County, Virginia on 24 September 2016. According to legend, Dixie Caverns was discovered in 1920 by two young men after their dog Dixie fell through a hole that led to the caves. In honor of their dog’s discovery, they decided to name the caverns Dixie. One of those boys was Bill “Shorty” McDaniel who would later go on to work at the caverns for more than 50 years and was known fondly for his sometimes embellished stories (Berrier, 2014). In actuality, the presence of Dixie Caverns, according to The Roanoke Times, was known as early as 1860 and had been mapped in the early 1900’s (Berrier, 2014). Guided tours of the caverns began in 1923 and still occur today with about 30,000 people visiting annually (Berrier, 2014). Dixie Caverns is located in Roanoke County which is in the Valley and Ridge and Blue Ridge provinces (Mitchell, 1999). A key feature of the Valley and Ridge is karst topography with soluble rocks such as limestone which create caves and caverns when weathered (Tobey, 1985). Over millions of years the caverns were formed as water dissolved the limestone that created Catesbeiana 38(1):20-36 20 Dixie Caverns and Explore Park Survey holes and even larger passageways. Many of the rock formations in Dixie Caverns are made of calcite which was formed by dripping water that evaporated leaving behind tiny particles which eventually created stalactites (Berrier, 2014).

  • Vision 2040: Amendments and Administrative Modifications
    Vision 2040: Amendments and Administrative Modifications The Constrained Long-Range Multimodal Transportation Plan, Vision 2040: Roanoke Valley Transportation, was approved by the Roanoke Valley Transportation Planning Organization Policy Board on September 27, 2017. As such, from time to time, amendments and administrative modifications are necessary in order to reflect changes in projects, funding, or programs.

  • Community Facilities and Services
    COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES Public facilities are the outward physical symbols of services provided by governmental jurisdictions on behalf of the public. As such, they serve an important role in influencing the growth patterns of a particular area. From a regional perspective, the availability of major facilities such as hospitals, colleges, high schools, libraries, major parks, and recreation areas is an important factor in attracting people to a region and to a particular county or city within that region. And, once drawn to a particular jurisdiction, the adequacy of local facilities and services such as elementary schools, fire and police protection, neighborhood parks, and playgrounds is similarly important in determining where a person settles within the chosen jurisdiction. In this manner, public facilities affect the location of new persons migrating into Franklin County as well as relocation decisions of persons moving within Franklin County. Although other factors such as job opportunities also influence the location desires of people, the large commuting flow across jurisdictional boundaries evidenced in this area indicate a strong willingness on the part of the people to work where the jobs are but to live where they want to live. Accordingly, since the provision of public facilities, especially locally-oriented ones, adds to the desirability of a particular area, the location of such facilities can be used by jurisdictions to guide and to stimulate future growth by making some areas more desirable than others. An additional influence upon the provision of public facilities and services is that they be provided efficiently and equitably. Efficiency can be improved by the multi-use of facilities such as school grounds doubling as neighborhood parks, fire stations containing community meeting rooms, or sanitary landfills that will be developed into recreation sites when filled.
