Get ready for a day of tasty brews and rockin’ tunes at this year’s Blacksburg Brew Do, a craft beer festival. Three high energy bands are slated to take the stage on September 24, starting at noon with New River Valley’s own Laura Beth and Clover Hollow. 2011 will mark the band’s second appearance at Brew Do after being a festival favorite in 2009. Next up, The Jugbusters, a Southern String band with a groovin’mix of fiddle, banjo and guitar, will play from 2pm – 4pm, and this year’s headline act from 4pm – 6pm is Ashleigh Caudill & Narrow Gauge. This traditional blue grass band may have their roots in Beer City USA’s, Ashville, NC, but they travel nation-wide crooning both original and old-time favorites.

Mark your calendars, Blacksburg Fork and Cork is back and going to be better than ever!

A new layout, gormet food tastings, wine seminars and the Can Do! canned food sculpture competition

are just a few of the new additons to the festival.
