As the leaves begin to fall, we look forward to our favorite season of mild temperatures, pumpkins, and a new palette of color on every tree here in Virginia Beach. But, most of all, we’re looking forward to the seasonal flavors, and there’s no better way to experience the flavors of fall than by diving into a locally-brewed pint. Here are seven beers, brewed right here in Virginia Beach, that we’ll be drinking to celebrate this autumn season.
