You could say Alewerks Brewing Company has been busy this year.
The Virginia Restaurant, Lodging & Travel Association (VRLTA) named the Williamsburg brewing company as its Brewery of the Year for their contributions to the tourism and brewing industry in Virginia.
The brewery released a limited-edition brew called Absolute Uncertainty back in June, with proceeds from the beverage benefitting VRLTA’s Virginia Restaurant & Hospitability Relief Fund.
Alewerks managed to contribute $7,500 to provide support to workers displaced by restaurant and hospitality industry shutdowns related to the coronavirus pandemic.
“We’re humbled by this award and incredibly grateful to the members of the industry for their overwhelming support of this program,” said Michael Claar, Alewerks’ director of operations, in a news release.
