Brewery/Brewpub Location Map
- Follow this link for a map of all the breweries and brewpubs I have visited.
Reason for Visit: We were driving back from a long trip that took us all the way down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We drove back on a route that took us along Interstate 81, right past Blacksburg. We had to stay somewhere overnight, and hey, it might as well be somewhere near a brewpub.

Bull & Bones Brewhaus & Grill Exterior: Bull and Bones certainly has an interesting location. Most of the brewpubs we visit happen to be located in historic buildings in a downtown setting. This one, well, it was set in a brand new shopping center. That's not to mean it's necessarily a good or a bad thing, just different. From the outside it looked like it could have just as easily held a Bed Bath and Beyond, but all we really cared about was the beer. It also had a huge crowd and a 45 minute wait on this Saturday evening. That's life in the suburbs, I suppose. |
 |
Inside Bull & Bones: We finally got inside. The first thing noticeable is that this is a huge space and a sports bar, with televisions blaring from every corner. I can't say I've been in a lot of sports bar brewpub combos so once more I was a bit surprised by the paradox of the ambiance. It did seem that they placed more emphasis on sports bar than brewpub. Again, that's just an observation and I don't mean anything by it. Patrons seemed to be having a wonderful time -- as did we -- and that's all that really matters. When in Blacksburg, do as the Hokies. |

Sampler: See, it really was a brewpub! I have to admit I wasn't totally sure based on all that I'd observed previous to this point in the evening, but all remaining questions were answered when the sampler arrived at the table. |
