Central Virginia’s experience of local breweries started in the late 1990’s with the establishment of a brewery in the old grain building on South Street, and another in the Starr Hill neighborhood off of Main Street. South Street Brewery focused entirely on being a destination brewpub, while Starr Hill Brewery involved itself in the music scene, and positioned itself for wider distribution. For nearly a decade these two breweries were the main purveyors of craft beer in central Virginia, which paved the way for a second wave of new breweries in the mid to late 2000’s. As the brewing scene has exploded it can be hard to keep track of all of the breweries we could visit. Our Brew Trail Masters (kind of like Jedi Knights) look forward to touring with you on an unforgettable day on the Brew Trail!
