Starr Hill Undertakes Major Expansion

The new legislation recently signed by Governor McDonnell is providing some impetus for major expansion underway at Starr Hill Brewery. NBC29.com is reporting:

Starr Hill founder and brewmaster Mark Thompson helped write the new laws and worked on seeing them passed. His brewery will take advantage of being able to sell beer for consumption on premises by tripling the size of their tasting room and adding a more space with a new deck as well. Over the next five years Starr Hill will raise their production level from 275,000 cases to 826,000 case of beer in a year. They will also add 10-15 jobs to the region. The new tasting room should be open this fall.
