Two small businesses that honed their plans at the Advancement Foundation’s “Hive” incubator – New Moon Creative Media and Earthworks Pottery – cut the ribbon on a shared storefront in Vinton today. Meanwhile Twin Creeks Brewing Company – which earned a first-place package worth $17,000 in the most recent “Gauntlet” competition put on by the Advancement Foundation – is close to opening its craft brewing operation in Vinton. Co-owner Andy Bishop says Twin Creeks Brewing Company on South Pollard Street will also have a 1700 square-foot tasting room when it opens.
