The University of Mary Washington Foundation announced today that the Eagle Village space that formerly housed Blackstone Coffee will become home to a different type of brew. Adventure Brewing Company, based in Stafford, will open a second location in the section of Eagle Village that fronts Jefferson Davis Highway.
Adventure Brewing’s owners, Tim Bornholtz, Stan Johnson and Russ Patishnock, said the move has been part of the company’s strategic plan to have a facility within the City of Fredericksburg. “This location is one more way we can expand the adventurous spirit that has long been part of our core business plan,” Patishnock said. “We are thrilled to be able to provide our amazing line of craft beer and hard seltzers that we are recognized for.”
The Eagle Village location will expand the tasting room experience of the 33 Perchwood Drive headquarters, which will continue as the main production area.
“We are excited to have the most popular, locally-born brewer join our portfolio of restaurant offerings at Eagle Village,” said Foundation CEO Jeff Rountree. “As the craft beer industry has exploded in Virginia over the past decade, Adventure Brewing has repeatedly been recognized as an innovator in the business and we look forward to having their tasting room and brewery serve our clients at Eagle Village.”
Adventure Brewing – Eagle Village is set to open in late fall.
Owned by the UMW Foundation, Eagle Village is a 23-acre pedestrian-friendly mixed-use village in the former Park & Shop retail center, across U.S. 1 from UMW’s Fredericksburg campus. Anchored by the Hyatt Place-Fredericksburg hotel and Giant grocery store, it includes an apartment-style residence complex for Mary Washington students, plus office space, retail and restaurant facilities, and a multi-level parking garage.
