We enjoy visiting local breweries and decided to stop in at AFOG on a Sunday evening at 6:30pm…read moreafter calling and confirming their hours. The brewery was easy to find and we originally thought it was housed inside an old school building but later learned it was previously a health services building. In addition to AFOG, there are also residential apartments in the remaining adjoining part of the building. There is a large outdoor area where a birthday celebration was happening amongst a small group. We proceeded inside and were immediately greeted by Sam. She helped me identify the IPA options and i immediately chose their Millennial Serum, which is a hazy imperial style that I enjoy. We looked around a bit, snapped some photos and looked at their swag. I'm a big tie dye guy and I was happy to see they had a great selection of AFOG tie dye shirts in my size. We decided to sit at the bar while I enjoyed my beer and chatted about our day. We also enjoyed talking with Sam and learning more about the brewery. We learned they are soon opening their second location in Buchanan, Virginia. Great stop, we felt welcomed, the beer was delicious and I have a new tie dye that will remind me of our time in Roanoke.

There is not a lot of parking spaces and some folks were parking on the road as you drive up to the beer room. There are a few indoor seats, a covered patio with seating, and then outdoor seating with umbrellas at the tables. There was a duet playing live music on the day we were there and they were pretty good. The beer was ok- I had a pilsner. My wife got a blend of white wine, which she really enjoyed. They had a beer truck on site the day we were there. This spot is also dog friendly. Pro tip for this place if you want to stay for a sunset- bring your own chairs and you can sit up on the ridge facing the sunset. Several groups brought their own food and were sitting out on the ridge. We will definitely go back later in the day for a sunset.

Only beer served, no wine (different license I was told) It was very busy on a Friday night! You can order food from a place next door which used to be a school house. Smash burgers and chicken sandos, salads and a few appetizers are on the menu. Scan, order online, and they deliver to your table. Service was very quick for the food but I will say that the chicken sandwich I ordered was very very greasy. Soaked the bun and was very sloppy and hard to eat. Pimento cheese appetizer is ample for a few people. There was a pizza truck there also on a rotating schedule. No table service, order beer at the counter and buss your own tables.

They have a small variety of styles and some of our favorites are their hazy IPA, salted marzen and plum conditioned sour. The service is friendly and helpful as well.

My salad was delicious! It had arugula, apples, pears, dried cranberries and I switched out blue cheese for Parmesan and blood orange vinaigrette. It was so refreshing and light. It was exactly what I needed and what I will continue to order. Both my daughter and husband enjoyed their meals as well. It's easy to see that it's a locals favorite. There were plenty of families with their little ones and servers were greeting people by name. The vibe is friendly and welcoming.

Felt a little disorganized/like there was some space that wasn't well maintained. Service: no complaints! Value: Decent, especially in comparison to the restaurants at The Homestead resort.

The kettle chips it comes with were delicious as well. Fried chicken sandwich: A below-average chicken sandwich. Not as good as a fast food chicken sandwich, but it will do the job if you're hungry. Pepperoni Flatbread: We ordered this since David's chicken sandwich wasn't super filling. It was fine, but nothing we couldn't make at home.

As for the staff, they seem to know their stuff, but that does not affect my rating. For rating I would say it is a 4, bordering close to a 5.
