Virginia Breweries Continue a Tradition

October/11/09 10:25 PM

Virginia’s craft brewers seem to be of two distinct types: Microbreweries that focus primarily on producing a selection of beers and ales—such as Fredericksburg’s Blue & Gray Brewing Co--and brewpubs-- such as Richmond’s Richbrau Brewing Company-- that offer food and primarily brew for their patrons to drink onsite.

Located in Richmond’s historic Shockoe Slip, Richbrau serves two signature ales and a porter along with three seasonal brews and even a root beer. And, if you can’t decide which brew to choose, order a sampler tray with generous tastes of five of the six. The restaurant offers a wide selection of bar food, well-prepared and presented.Let's travel ...

July/17/09 04:38 PM

New York, N.Y. ... When the planes hit the Towers, the shock blew out the windows of the first thirty floors of the Millenium and the entire building’s interior was covered in the clouds of dust that billowed out from the destruction. With Ground-Zero viewable from many of its hotel rooms, The Millenium stood silent sentry over the destruction, clean-up and now rebuilding of the site, even as the hotel was completely refurbished. Today the Millenium has a story so very unique, but one that is shared with all those that survived that day, including Jason Tresh, who now walks past “Ground Zero” everyday to his job as director of the hotel.Let's travel ...
