USA, VA: Hawksbill Brewing receives the last of the brewing equipment, hopes to open in spring of 2017

Page County's first brewery is getting closer and closer to completion. On Wednesday, November 30, the last of the brewing equipment arrived at Hawksbill Brewing, WHSV reported.

Over the past year, the owners have worked through zoning ordinances and building plans. This time last year, they were still looking for a building and were just in the planning phase of the operation.

"It feels great, you get to look back each day and there's something tangible, I mean it's much like farming, when we're done at the end of the day, you look back and there's something done, tangible and it makes you feel good," said brewery operations manager David Sours.

The brewery will use local hops and other seasonal ingredients in its brews. It will also add at least 10 jobs.

While there is still work to be done, Sours says they are looking forward to opening.

Sours added, "there's a lot of excitement, I mean a lot. Wherever we go, somebody's asking about, when we're going to open, all those good things so we're very excited and the community seems to be excited to have us and looking forward to supporting us."

Sours said they hope to open in spring of 2017.
