USA, VA: Iron Tree Brewing Company already open in Christiansburg

In the heart of the New River Valley, a new brewery is opening its doors as COVID restrictions are easing up, WDBJ7 reported on May 28.

Christiansburg’s first brewery opened its doors to the public on May 27, and the Iron Tree Brewing Company owners say the community turnout shattered its expectations.

The brewery started as a vision nearly two and a half years ago by three Virginia Tech grads who fell in love with the area and never wanted to leave.

Everything designed inside was built by hand. On the menu you can find nine beers and one seltzer with a few non-alcoholic options.

“We just want a laid-back atmosphere where people can come have a conversation with some friends, maybe play some board games, just a gathering spot for the community to really build a downtown vibe in Christiansburg,” co-owner Stephen Peter said.

The brewery got special permission for the Sam’s Hot Dog Stand food truck to set up shop. The owners are hopeful to get a long-term option.
