Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.

Farm Fizz
Low/No Alcohol
Kombucha
Femented Tea
Kombucha is a fermented, probiotic drink made from sweetened tea and a symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria (SCOBY). Taste can be described similar to sparkling apple cider and champagne depending on various factors. We use a mix of organic teas, English Breakfast black tea, Bancha green tea and Yerba Mate, and organic evaporated cane juice (sugar) from EATS in Blacksburg, and flavor primarily with freshly juiced seasonal fruits or dried herbs and teas. Kombucha contains some caffeine, acetic acid, B vitamins, antioxidants, trace amounts of alcohol and live bacteria and yeast - Give it a taste or bring your growler to enjoy regularly!
Ginger Beer
Fermented Ginger Ale
Our Ginger Beer (or "Ale") is fermented by Ginger Beer Plant (GBP). GBP is not really a plant, but rather a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (similar to a Kombucha SCOBY) of tiny grains, like semi-transparent rice granules. Lower sugar content and plenty of fresh organic lemon and ginger juice create a beverage that is tart yet a dry sweet, and fiery in ginger taste. This is a low-alcohol ferment.
Soda
Non-alcoholic / Non-fermented
Always made from scratch, we offer a soda available on tap. Flavors vary and include root and herbal recipes, citrus and seasonal fruits.
Nitro Cold Brew Coffee
Non-alcoholic / Non-fermented
Cold brewed, locally roasted coffee from Strange Coffee Company. The nitro adds a creamy mouthfeel that pairs perfectly with the coffee’s vanilla character.
Fresh Pressed Apple Cider (Seasonal)
Non-alcoholic / Non-fermented
Fresh-pressed apple cider from a variety of local apple orchards and suppliers including Glade Road Growing, Seven Springs Farm Supply, and Silver Creek & Seaman's Orchards.

Seasonally available in the fall.
