Devil’s’ General Manager Chris Trotter tells us that Crandall and friends granted a portion of the site back to Nelson County for the possible purpose of building a skate park. “The plan is to make this area the Virginia Jackson Hole,†says Trotter, who is referring, of course, to über cool resort town Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which is beloved almost as much for its dining, entertaining and non-skiing recreations as it is for its amazing slopes and powder.
We sampled the brews and had a late lunch there the day after Thanksgiving. Both were excellent. The building is interesting, too — attractive with green/sustainable features. They were very busy well into the afternoon – a good sign. I especially liked the Gold Leaf Lager.
