Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company (GVBC), the valley’s craft brewery located just north of Lewisburg, takes great pride in supporting the West Virginia craft brewing industry, as well as good works in and around the Greenbrier Valley and the state.

In an effort to promote and support works provided by nonprofits in the region, GVBC initiates the Giving Tap beginning Jan. 1, 2018.

For the Giving Tap initiative GVBC has chosen 12 nonprofits in the region to benefit 20 percent of all sales from a designated tap every month at the GVBC Tap Room. Each month GVBC will highlight a different nonprofit and craft beer. Visitors to the Tap Room can learn about our area nonprofits on our Giving Tap board and join us in giving back by having a pint from the Giving Tap.

January’s recipient, Greenbrier Valley Theatre, has long been a provider of education and entertainment for the valley, including a stint many decades ago in a barn near our location by the Greenbrier Airport. The Giving Tap for January will be Devil Anse IPA.

The following nonprofits have been chosen for 2018:

January – Greenbrier Valley Theatre

February – Carnegie Hall

March – Greenbrier Valley Community Foundation

April – Greenbrier River Trail Association

May – American Lung Association Greenbrier River Trail Bike Trek

June – Almost Heaven Habitat for Humanity

July – Greenbrier Humane Society

August – United Way of Greenbrier Valley

September – National Apprentice Day
