WILLIAMSBURG — The Virginia Beer Company (VBC) will be celebrating all the beers and cheers shared from 2016 through 2024 on Sat. April 6 from 1-8 p.m. on Midtown Row’s Village Green.

This year the annual ‘Freeversay’ celebrates the brewery’s eighth year of business.
Robby Willey, VBC co-founder said, “We’ve loved throwing our annual Freeversary at the brewery over the years. This year we decided we wanted to go bigger and better, and to do that we had to take the show on the road. Midtown Row has been an amazing partner and we are so excited to celebrate the best Freeversary yet.”
The free, family-friendly event will feature live music, lawn games, a photo booth, a bounce house, pop-up vendors, local bites and lots of brews.
Old City BBQ, Dominion Dogs, California Tortilla and Cook’s Burger Bar, Flossed Out Cotton Candy, plus other Midtown Row vendors will be onsite selling food.
VBC will have seven beers on tap in addition to serving High Noon Hard Seltzer. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available.
The Deloreans, a local band known for covering popular ’80s hits, will perform from 4:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. preceded by London featuring DJ Kudlz from 1 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.
“Our anniversary is a chance for us to reflect on the people in Williamsburg and beyond who have helped us reach our goal of building a business that serves as a force for good in our community,” stated Chris Smith, VBC co-founder. “Running a small business for the past eight years has been challenging, but the people we’ve met and the relationships we’ve created have given us countless joyous memories. We’re looking forward to making more of those memories on Saturday.”
