One of our favorite things about the Charlottesville Ale Trail? How darn walkable it is.⁠
•⁠
Get yourself a passport, bundle up the fam, and walk to any of our six(!) locations for a stamp and a brew.⁠

You know what @championbeer has? A firepit. MULTIPLE fire pits.⁠
•⁠
Not to mention Wednesday night run club. And tasty brews. And a viewing party for Chef Laura Fonner's appearance on Food Network's Guy's Grocery Games. The event is tonight at 8 PM, featuring the chef herself and her homemade dumplings. On second thought, what doesn't Champion have?⁠
