Worth the Trip: Powhatan-based brewery aims to create more than just beer

Among farmland and sprawling open pastures, some 30 miles northwest of Richmond, a brewery has combined experimental brews with delicious farm-to-table fare in an effort to create a truly curated experience.

A single, winding road is the only way in or out of the Powhatan-based Fine Creek Brewing Company. But with isolation comes inspiration.

From its inception, Fine Creek set out to craft more than just another brewery cranking out IPAs and barrel-aged stouts. Owner Mark Benusa and head brewer Gabe Slagle wanted to create something that would compel guest to make the trip -- an experience from the first view to the last sip.
