E-Malt.com News article: USA, VA: Parkway Brewing to open a second location this summer

A popular Salem-based brewery is expanding its footprint. Parkway Brewing will open a second location this summer, bringing its signature craft beer experience to downtown Roanoke, WSLS 10 reported on May 12.

The new taproom will be located on the ground floor of The Bower, a mixed-use development between Campbell and Salem Avenue.

This new space will feature a more refined tasting room with 14 taps, offering both flagship and specialty brews. It will also include a full kitchen for on-site dining and a stage for live music performances.

“We’re trying to export what we are here in Salem over there,” said Mike Pensinger, General Manager and Brewmaster.

“We know we have a great product and a great place, and we think that we can do just as well down there, if not better,” Pensinger added.

The expansion is part of a larger development effort in downtown Roanoke. Parkway Brewing hopes to open the new location by late July.
