Crozet
Albemarle County, Virginia
What happens when you get five of the best brewers together in one room? A totally awesome beer is born! Five different brewers spent much of Friday at Starr Hill Brewery in Crozet working on a special batch of beer that will be released at this year’s Brew Ridge Trail Music Festival being held on August 21st at Devils Backbone Brewing Company. “It’s a new style that’s been made popular on the west coast called a Black IPA. All of us sort of collaborated on this recipe,” says Jacque Landry, partner & brewer at South Street Brewery in Charlottesville.
Four Different Breweries all have a hand in making the special collaborative brew:
-Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton
-Devils Backbone Brewing in Roseland
-South Street Brewery in Charlottesville
“It’s 25 barrels which is about 50 kegs of beer. It’s just an opportunity for all of us to get together and come up with a special brew, Jacque continues.
The beer won’t be available until the Brew Ridge Trail Music Festival kicks off next month.
See you there on August 21st!
Awesome, looking forward to trying a few!
Nucci is that a straw in your cup in the group photo? Nice.
Wish I could sample your beers in Vermont.
We are so fortunate to have these talented brewers so close to home.
