Linda Sivers came up with the idea for this relaxed driving tour from the Augusta County Government Center (where we have our autocrosses) through scenic country roads in Augusta County to Stable Craft Brewing at Hermitage Hill. Shenandoah Region president Clint Shuler ran the driver’s meeting, and Jeff Sivers was the lead driver in his easily visible (and heard) white 930. We had perfect “tops down” weather for this early fall (October 2) Sunday drive.

Stable Craft Brewing at Hermitage Hill is one of the many breweries (and cideries, and distilleries, and wineries) popping up in central Virginia. It is a working farm and has a large stable, as advertised in its name, and its logo features their huge Clydesdale horse, Morocco. The official part of the tour ended when we arrived, so everyone could enjoy a good lunch and try some of the dozen different beers produced by Stable Craft Brewing.
