About Factory Street Brewing Company
Factory Street Brewing Company is a brewery and taproom at 210 Factory St in South Boston, Virginia. It fills a century-old Liggett & Myers tobacco prizery that the owners spent three years restoring. The brewery says it is Halifax County's first microbrewery.
Brigid Layman is the head brewer. Her beers carry local history in their names, such as Boyd's Ferry Oatmeal Stout and 1781 English Brown Ale. Two tap handles rotate with seasonal and experimental brews.
The room is part of the draw. The bar is built from logs reclaimed from tobacco barns, and the bartop is made of real bright leaf and burley tobacco leaves. Outside, the beer garden has a patio and a stage. Live music, karaoke, games on big screen TVs and food trucks keep the place busy.
