Industry Night: Beer Business
I’m back out in Fabulous Fauquier—or as I love to say, Fauquier Fabulous! If you’ve been following along, you know this isn’t my first time out here. Over the last year, I’ve practically set up camp in this charming part of Virginia, thanks to the amazing partnerships I’ve formed with Laura Torpy and the countless inspiring conversations I’ve had with local changemakers.
We’ve explored agriculture and husbandry with Amanda Luhowiak of The Whole Ox, and enjoyed an unforgettable conversation with a panel of Fauquier County winemakers at Field & Main, with the always-insightful Neal Warva.
Today, the journey continues—this time, at the beautiful Old Bust Head Brewing Company (or as I like to say, Old Bust Head Brew Co.). I’m joined by two amazing guests who are shaping the future of Virginia’s craft beer scene:
Julie Broaddus, Owner & Operator of Old Bust Head Brewing Company
Kevin Powers, Co-Owner & Brewer at Powers Farm & Brewery
But before we crack open a few cold ones, I’m thrilled to welcome back my good friend Laura Torpy, the unstoppable Tourism Coordinator for Fauquier County. Laura’s passion for the region is contagious—her deep knowledge and genuine love for this community make every visit richer.
