Hotel Roanoke stages Taproom Takeover ahead of Deschutes Street Pub

ROANOKE (WSLS 10) - In preparation for Saturday's Deschutes Street Pub, the Hotel Roanoke is getting a head start on the tastings.

The Pine Room Pub at the hotel filled five of its taps with Deschutes beer on Friday for what it's calling the Taproom Takeover.

Many of the Deschutes representatives came in from out-of-state and are staying at the hotel. Leaders said this economic boost is only a taste of what is to come.

"It's very exciting for us, and I think it expands the whole horizon and makes it more of a relevant city," said the Hotel Roanoke's director of restaurants Daniel Accomando. "We're not just a small town, we're actually doing big things."

The Taproom Takeover lasts until 2 a.m Saturday.
