Hillsboro has a number of historic lodging options. A great way to take in Hillsboro’s history is to let the B&B innkeepers of The Gap be your guides—and serve up a delicious breakfast to start your day’s adventures. https://www.hillsborova.gov/stay

Six-month old lion siblings moved to Hillsboro in the 1980s. The lions, Justin and Jezebel, became a huge novelty in the town. Justin even rode on a float in a local parade. They were eventually buried side by side in the center of what is now the Loco Lion property. Their memorial site is marked for visitors.

Our master brewer, Jose Ayala, formerly of Boston Beer Company/Sam Adams, develops each Loco Lion beer using time-honored traditions with modern craft techniques. Every batch benefits from our crystal-clear Blue Ridge Mountain water and carefully selected ingredients, ensuring consistent quality across our rotating selection of craft beers.

At the far side of the brewery property you may notice bee hives. We use that honey to make a small amount of mead every year. It is made entirely on our premises. Our honey may occasionally be featured in a beer as well.

We believe in being good stewards of our hilltop home. From our pollinator-friendly groundcover to our natural pest management systems, every decision is made with environmental impact in mind. Our commitment extends to using permeable surfaces for parking, offering reusable glassware, and preserving native wildflowers that make our property unique.

The beer signs were created by local artists Nicole Frunza and Jenna Leathem.

We have two types of boxes in our trees. Bat boxes are for bats to roost. We encourage them as they eat mosquitos and other bothersome insects. We also have owl nesting boxes for native barn and screech owls. They're an environmentally friendly way to take care of rodents on the property.
