USA, VA: Michael Waltrip Brewing Company plans opening by mid-summer
Former NASCAR driver Michael Waltrip plans to open a brewery and tap room in Bristol, Virginia, officials confirmed on March 25.
His brewery would bring back to life the old Studio Brew building on Moore Street. Studio Brew started in 2016 but closed before the pandemic.
It’s an old fire museum built in 1910 and on the National Register of Historic Places.
Waltrip’s brewery business started in Phoenix and has locations in several western states.
“I am very enthusiastic to share this great news with so many friends and followers in this part of the country who have asked and waited for over the last year about where they could enjoy or purchase my beer,” Waltrip said. “I can say now it’s coming soon! We’ll brew our fabulous beers, and also open a taproom with a great kitchen along with an event space to accommodate special gatherings.”
“Bristol is excited to welcome Michael Waltrip Brewing Company to our city" city manager Randy Eads said. "With Bristol Motor Speedway in our back door and now having Michael Waltrip Brewing here, this is an opportunity for Bristol, Virginia to showcase what we have; local people who want to make a difference in our community. Allen Hurley and Jim Bunn were instrumental in bringing Michael Waltrip Brewing to Bristol. Local support from business leaders is exactly what it takes to help rebuild a city.”
Waltrip's plan is to open in Bristol by mid-summer.
