Virginia Breweries

Just over the mountain in Waynesboro is where you’ll find the area’s newest brewery, Basic City.  Born out of the remains of the old Virginia Metalcrafters building, Basic City boasts an “industrial” designed, and incorporates style elements and actual pieces of the old Metalcrafters building. In addition to their lineup of great beer, you’ll often find live music and a food truck on site. Closed Mondays.

The Devils Backbone “Basecamp Brewpub and Meadows” is situated on 100 acres in nearby Roseland and offers spectacular mountain views. The Basecamp features both indoor and outdoor bars, a full-service indoor restaurant and outdoor grill. Their 16-tap beer lineup includes wide selection of favorites and seasonal offerings. In addition to the pilot brewery located at the Basecamp, they also have larger production “Outpost” brewery and taproom in Lexington, VA.

Conveniently located along route 250 near Crozet, Pro Re Nata (“as needed”) is one of the area’s newest farm breweries. They produce 6 “flagship” beers, along with a changing lineup of experimental brews. Come sample their beer and enjoy some great comfort food from their “kitchen on wheels”.  And most evenings Pro Re Nata offers great live, local music to round out the experience. Closed Tuesdays.
