About the brewery
Blue Mountain Barrel House was founded in 2011 by the Smack family as a sister brewery to the original Blue Mountain Brewery, in Afton (Nelson County). The original Blue Mountain Brewery was created in 2007 by Taylor and Mandi Smack, Matt Nucci and a group of fearless shareholders. Blue Mountain introduced the concept of the rural brewery to our corner of the world and set the standard for great beer in Virginia. As the first production arm of the Blue Mountain family, the Barrel House focuses on the higher-end beers from Blue Mountain that require special processes, special ingredients, and a whole lot of patience.
