Blue Ridge Brewing Co.

(not to be confused with the Blue Mountain Brewery in nearby Afton which is very much open)

Breweriana, Collectibles, Ephemera and Memorabilia

I have visited BLUE RIDGE BREWING CO.,
in the City of Charlottesville, Virginia, USA.

Brewery/Brewpub Location Map

Status: Closed. Starr Hill Brewery now operates a music venue that location.

Reason for Visit: At the time I was newly interested in craft brews. This is the first brewpub I ever visited so this beat-up little coaster has a lot of memories behind it. Charlottesville, VA is just a few miles east of the Blue Ridge. Both the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive are easily accessible from Charlottesville via Interstate 64.

[Blue Ridge Brewing Co. Coaster] Front of Coaster. This square coaster features a blue ink design on a white background. A central oval frames a stylized version of Central Virginia's piedmont region with the famed Blue Ridge as a backdrop. The oval is flanked on the left by a large hen and on the right by a contrastingly smaller stalk of barley. The name of the brewery is printed over the oval in large letters. Beer stains on the coaster come courtesy of yours truly.

Sample list of beers produced by Blue Ridge Brewing Co.

  • Hawksbill Lager
  • Humpback Stout
  • Afton Ale
  • Piney River Lager

The Blue Ridge Brewing Co. may be closed but there are plenty of reasons to visit the Charlottesville area

Items featured on these breweriana pages are personal souvenirs of my visits to these locations, and an expression of the events and travels leading to their collection. They are not for sale or for trade.
