BREWERY TRAIL – BLUE MOUNTAIN BREWERY

One of our favorite pastimes? Visiting craft breweries close to and far from home. Since we once homebrewed, we’re fascinated by what these local folks can do. Many of them began as living room brewers before expanding.

When we visited Waynesboro, Virginia, this past summer, we stumbled upon one of the more unique establishments and Virginia’s first rural brewery.
