Just outside of Charlottesville, Blue Mountain Brewery is one of the area’s most popular places to grab a drink and watch the sunset. Surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, it’s easy to see what inspired the brewery’s name. The original Afton location opened up over 10 years ago and was the first brewery in Nelson County. Now with a second location in Arrington, the brewery has grown, crafting around 10,000 barrels of beer a year. They use fresh and local ingredients to make the delicious craft beer, using hops grown in their fields in Afton and Arrington.
