Before "Buy Local" was a movement, George Washington was already raising a glass to American-made b**r. 🍻

After the Revolution, Washington praised American porter and encouraged support for domestic brewers, helping champion the craftsmanship and independence that shaped a new nation.

More than 240 years later, that same spirit lives on in Virginia craft b**r.

As we celebrate VA250 - American Revolution 250 Commission we're raising a glass to the brewers, makers, and entrepreneurs who continue Virginia's tradition of innovation, independence, and local pride.

Tag a Patriot brewery that makes you proud to drink local. πŸ‘‡

Founded by a father-and-son team passionate about homebrewing, Iron Pipe Alewerks grew from years of brewing together in a family garage into one of Orange's favorite destinations for handcrafted b**r and community. 🍻

For , they created The Great Corndealio, a pre-Prohibition-style l***r inspired by the kind of easy-drinking American b**rs that helped define the nation's brewing heritage.

Brewed with Virginia-grown and Virginia-malted barley and corn, plus American-grown Comet and Contessa hops, it's a crisp tribute to the agricultural roots and brewing traditions that shaped early American l***r. 🌽

🍺 One brewer had a big idea for America: better b**r.

In 1810, a brewer wrote to President James Madison with an ambitious proposal: create a national brewery for the United States. His argument? Good b**r wasn't just a beverage. It could support American agriculture, strengthen domestic industry, reduce reliance on imports, and benefit the nation.

The idea never became reality, but it reflects something fascinating about early America: people saw b**r as part of the country's future. As the young republic worked to build its identity and economy, brewers already advocated for American-made products and homegrown ingredients.

As we celebrate VA250 - American Revolution 250 Commission, we're raising a glass to the innovators who believed b**r could help build a stronger nation. From bold ideas in the early republic to the creativity of today's Pintriot breweries, Virginia's brewing story has always been rooted in independence, ingenuity, and community. 🍻

Tag a Virginia brewery that's proving American brewing innovation is still alive and well πŸ‘‡
