Beer tasting at Blue Mountain Brewing Company
The weekend after Christmas, my girlfriend, Jenny, and I went to Charlottesville to do a tour of all the local breweries that have made their mark on Virginia’s wine country. Inspired by the tasting room feel of Blue Mountain Brewing company a year ago, we thought it was great when the area started to look more and more like a beer destination! With Devil’s Backbone just opening up, it is official. Charlottesville and its environs are officially Virginia Beer Country as well. Check out Jenny’s article that she wrote for the Washington Post travel section:
Virginia Is Also for Beer Lovers – washingtonpost.com.
Charlottesville is certainly no microbrew capital like Portland, Ore., or Denver. But to its credit and beer aficionados’ pleasure, it has embraced making craft beers. The town and scenic surrounding areas boast four homegrown breweries and brew pubs (which, conveniently enough, are in the process of organizing an official Charlottesville beer trail), and these spots build on a local brewing history that stretches back more than 200 years.
