Add Factory Street Brewing Company to the list of alcohol-tasting attractions in the area. The new brewery in downtown South Boston comes in addition to Springfield Distillery, which makes hard liquor, and the Tunnel Creek Vineyards, which opened last Labor Day. Two other area wineries are Hunting Creek and Bright Meadows. See their Facebook pages for more information.
The brewery has a large, brightly lit tasting room with an excellent choice of beers. On July 4, the SoBo Brewfest, a block party with a 5K run and live entertainment, will be held in front of the brewery. This is a major event, not to be missed!
