Located 20 miles from Charlottesville near the gorgeous high slopes of Skyline Drive, Blue Mountain Brewery is some kind of wonderful. These people are dedicated to their craft and their craft beers, which includes a crisp Bavarian-style wheat beer that is good in the hot summer swelter, and the muscular Full Nelson, brewed with local hops. Great food (pizzas, burgers, sandwiches) too.
