Located in Powhatan, Crazy Rooster Brewing Company was founded with a vision of creating a community gathering place where great beer, live music, and good vibes bring people together. 🍻

For , they teamed up with Fine Creek Brewing Company to craft Monticello Strong Ale, a historically inspired beer based on brewing records from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello.

Brewed entirely with Virginia-grown barley, wheat, corn, hops, and yeast, this collaboration showcases the agricultural ingredients and brewing traditions that helped shape early American beer.🌾

You're not alone.

We've heard from breweries across Virginia about confusing requirements, inconsistent guidance, and uncertainty around off-site sales. Now is the time to bring those experiences to the table.

Join the VCBG Listening Session on September 16 to help us identify the biggest challenges you face when participating in festivals, markets, and other off-site events.

Your input will directly inform the Guild's feedback to Virginia ABC.

Your car called. It wants a craft beer upgrade. 🍺🚗

We're working to bring an official Virginia Craft Beer specialty license plate to the Commonwealth.

But the Virginia DMV requires 450 prepaid applications before a new specialty plate can hit the road.

So, we're starting with an interest form:
✅ No payment today
✅ No DMV paperwork today
✅ Just tell us you'd buy a plate

When the plate launches, you’ll be the first to receive the application.

$10 from each plate will directly support the educational programming of the Virginia Craft Beer Summit & Gala.

Help us put Virginia craft beer on the road. Sign up today >> https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevSjBLSQS1lcHCTsb6wOb66txMH-3XrqYiJX-s05yTuQpsZw/viewform

Nestled in the heart of Nelson County, Blue Mountain Brewery has been a staple of Virginia craft beer since 2007, pairing mountain views with thoughtfully brewed beers inspired by tradition and local agriculture. 🍻⛰️

For , they joined fellow Nelson County breweries to create the Liberty Hollow collaboration beer. This American Dark Ale is based on a recipe originally developed in honor of Benjamin Franklin’s 300th birthday.

From a brewery known for honoring brewing traditions to a beer inspired by America's past, Blue Mountain Brewery is helping tell Virginia's story one pint at a time.

Every great pint has a story behind it.

The brewer dialing in a recipe. The bartender who remembers your favorite pour. The cellar team that ensures every batch is right. The owner who opens the doors every morning.

More than a celebration of beer, Virginia Craft Beer Month celebrates the people who make it all happen.

Raise a glass to them this month. 🍻
