Deschutes Brewery may delay and scale down its planned brewery in Roanoke.
But the Bend, Oregon-based craft beer brewer will buy the land where it intends to build as a show of good faith that it is still headed to Roanoke.
The brewer announced in 2016 after months of courting that it would build its East Coast expansion in the Roanoke Centre for Industry and Technology — a $95 million project that would ultimately employ 108 people in its first phase, according to the company. But the privately held company didn’t plan to break ground until June 2019.
