New Year’s Eve at Nearby Breweries

Beer and New Year’s Eve have always seemed to go hand-in-hand, so what better way is there to celebrate than at an actual local brewery? Devils Backbone, Wild Wolf and Blue Mountain Brewery are providing great food, good music, and of course, fantastic libations to help ring in 2014.

Celebrate the last evening of 2013 at Devils Backbone in Nellsyford. With a special menu of Rosemary Crusted Rack of Lamb, filets, pan seared scallops, fresh oysters, and crème brulée, you certainly won’t go hungry. And if you’re feeling especially famished when you arrive, have a go at the Resolution Burger—if you finish the entire burger, you’ll win a Devils Backbone prize. If you can’t make it to the brewery’s New Year’s Eve celebration, then enjoy a New Year’s Day brunch starting at 11:30 on January 1, 2014.

Wild Wolf Brewery offers a New Year’s Eve feast with a four-course meal for $45. Seafood martinis, lemon cream chicken, orange and balsamic salmon, and champagne chocolate mousse are only a few of the delectable options with which you’ll be presented.  (Regular menus will also be available in the Bar and the Pavilion.) Don’t miss the cuisine, the brew, and live music from “Tara Mills & Friends,” from 9 pm until Midnight.

Blue Mountain Brewery invites you to celebrate the arrival of 2014 with a “pint-sized party for the whole family.” Feast from a full menu, including choices like the oven-baked crab dip, a beer-boiled local bratwurst, a Mediterranean pizza, and rich tiramisu for dessert. Wash it all down with MacHayden's Wee Heavy Scotch Ale, a Blue Mountain Lager, or one of their other available beers. From 9 pm until Midnight, you’ll be treated to the lively music of The Design, an award-winning band that features jazz and funk fusion.

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year from Afton Mountain Bed and Breakfast!
