Blue Mountain microbrewery expansion

This brewery is only a couple of years old but as you see it is doing such a great business that it is expanding both outdoor and indoor seating.

Full Nelson is their flagship brew, but changes abound.

Extreme heat advisory

The only safe place in Virginia to be today is in water, with sunblock, or in an air-conditioned home. It is too hot outside.
