You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.

The distillery was founded by West Virginia native Tag Galyean, the master architect and spa designer known for luxury hospitality design at famed resorts such as The Broadmoor (CO), The Greenbrier (WV), Hotel Hershey (PA) and Turnberry Isle (FL). Tag’s longtime colleague and son-in-law, John Little, leads the Smooth Ambler team as chief distiller. John Foster is Director of Sales.
Tag Galyean and John Little founded Smooth Ambler to produce fine artisan spirits by combining patient Appalachian know-how with the finest of American ingredients.
The distillery is located near Lewisburg in Maxwelton, WV, in the rural Greenbrier Valley.
Smooth Ambler Spirits uses state-of-the-art distillery equipment in conjunction with natural resources of the region: high-valley mountain air, natural waters, ideal temperature variations and friendly folks. These elements combined with a hands-on, grain-to-glass distilling, cutting and filtering process create a truly remarkable drink best enjoyed one slow sip at a time. It is a fact that Smooth Ambler Spirits are now produced at the highest and purest level possible anywhere in the world.
Each of Smooth Ambler’s artisanal spirits is crafted using the foundational elements for a bourbon recipe, a master distiller’s blend of corn, wheat, and malted barley. This non-traditional approach to creating “white” spirits like vodka and gin produces a notably distinct taste, with a smooth finish that upholds its namesake. The first bourbon batch which is aging in small barrels at this very moment will be ready for consumption this month.
Hand-crafted care is devoted to every single bottle that leaves the 5,200 square-foot distillery, with each one personally signed and dated by its bottler. A family business with deep roots in the community, the distillery often invites the local townspeople – and visiting tourists – to participate in “Bottling Days” that result in new cases of Smooth Ambler being shipped to fine liquor stores and dining venues/bars throughout West Virginia, Ohio, Virginia, and Washington DC .
Smooth Ambler is among the top 10 distilleries in the U.S. Distributed in ten states, the distribution center is in New Jersey; can buy online. Sale in West Virginia, but can not ship. Smooth Ambler Spirits is an artisan, small batch distillery making vodka, gin and bourbon using local and regional ingredients.
The Smooth Ambler still is on display at all times and tours are available
Thursday and Friday from 2:00 pm to 4:00 PM
