Brewery proposal targets Old Town Roanoke
Image credit: Pirate Panda Brewing/Spiars Engineering & Surveying. A new brewery may be in the works for Old Town Roanoke , based on the minutes of a Planning & Zoning Commission meeting that took place in the city on Monday, April 6. Tentatively called Pirate Panda Brewing, the project would be a new construction located on what is now an approximately one-acre empty lot at 200 S. Oak St., just across from Hard Eight BBQ. Plans call for the build-out to consist of a "4,328 square foot brewery, a 3,500 square-foot patio area, and a 200 square-foot kitchen." Should the proposed venture come to fruition, Roanoke would then be home to two brewing operations, with Pirate Panda joining The 206 Brewery & Bar on Oak St., with just three blocks separating the two establishments. Also of note, ownership appears to be based in South Florida, which may have been a proposed destination for the project at one time based on a logo design contest held on the graphic design marketplace, 99

Luxury where it’s least expected
Luxury where it’s least expected Sometimes luxury can be found in the simplest of things. Not the ones that are the most expensive, nor the most exclusive, nor the most fashionable, but rather in the experiences that are spontaneous, that live in one’s memory, that feel ‘authentic’ and that can be shared. The debate about which glasses are ‘the best’ for drinking champagne is a case in point. Opinions range from the sauce shaped glass that was popular in the heyday of Hollywood in the 1950s and 60s ( take a look at the ‘Here’s to Your Kid’ scene in Casablanca), to the tall, flute shaped glasses which allow you to watch the bubbles rise up the glasses and concentrate the aromas as you sniff the wine and more recently to a wider, white wine style glass advocated by professional sommeliers and other wine aficionados because they allow you to agitate the champagne and appreciate, to best advantage, all the complex aromas in the wine. Styles may come and may go but some things endure throug
