History
The story of Mountain Valley Brewing began naturally with a farm. It all started when a job change moved us from a comfortable suburban neighborhood outside of Richmond to VERY rural Henry County, Virginia. We found ourselves settled in a quaint home on 10 acres of land just as the craft beer industry began to boom in Virginia. Add in our supply of untreated natural well water and a love for great beer and everything else fell into place. We created Mountain Valley Hops thinking, if nothing else, we would have our own endless supply of the key ingredient to a great beer. Fresh hops are rarely found in craft beer with the exception of the seasonal brews in the fall, and those are still fairly difficult to find in Virginia. With our own hop farm, we can keep fresh hops year-round. In May 2017, our dream of hop yard tours and cold beer brewed on site with our own fresh hops became a reality.
Specialties
Walk into any grocery store and you'll usually find a decent selection of craft beer. What won't you find? Our beer. That's because we don't distribute, bottle or can. Instead, we focus our efforts on providing unique, delicious beer you can't get anywhere else. We use fresh hops from our on-site hop farm and turn to local farmers for raw ingredients like honey, fruit, grain and barley. Mountain Valley Brewing is a small, local family business that's passionate about supporting other small business. Though you'll have to visit the taproom to try our beer, we'd love to let you fill up a growler to take Mountain Valley with you wherever you go. Call us anytime or stop by during business hours to fill up a growler to take with you on a trip or to give to someone special.
