## About

Located at the very heart of Salem Virginia's Historic Main Street District, Olde Salem Brewing Co. exudes history. Our building was constructed just 114 years after the town was founded in 1806 by James Simpson; and until now had been home to a well known appliance store for decades. We believe our craft beers hold a piece of that history in every glass.
