I live in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, and we have three, soon to be four, breweries in town and a handful more within an hour's driving time. So I have a lot of extremely local beer to sample. One of the breweries has their taproom int he downstairs part of my apartment building. It's a very tempting situation. All four of the taprooms are in walking (stumbling) distance from where I live.

I am a big fan of German style beers. I like malty beers, not too hoppy. Kolsch, Schwarzbier, Bock, and Roggenbier are my favorite styles, whether locally made or in Germany.

Do you, by any chance, live in Staunton VA? I was at Shenandoah NP last summer and stayed in a cabin there. We stopped at one of the breweries in town and I recall there being a couple more close by.

It's a nice little area. If that's where you stay, you're a lucky guy.
