Brothers Pablo and David Medina are behind the project and said they selected Roanoke as the location for the brewery because of the city’s family-friendly atmosphere. Pablo Medina will be the master brewer behind the concept.
He said he specializes in Belgian and German beers, but the brewery will have a rotating tap of at least 10 beers, plus seasonal options.
Pirate Panda Brewing will have the capacity for 430 guests, David Medina said. The top story will have an open-air space for all guests, along with an enclosed area for private events.
Other amenities include a play space for kids, an enclosed dog park where pets can run off leash and a food menu.
