A little about us and what you will find when you visit Pro Re Nata!

The Latin translation of Pro Re Nata means for a thing born. Our beers, born here in central Virginia near Charlottesville, are made with ingredients cultivated by people we know, created by a brewer who has been practicing his craft for more than fifteen years.

Since serving our first brew in 2015, we have grown into a multi-plex Collective of taprooms and outdoor areas:

The Original Brewery Taproom and Mountain View Patio
The larger Main Taproom and Stage
A Farmacy Garden Event Space and Outdoor Stage
An expansive Beer Garden with Mountain Views and Firepits

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Tap at brewery. Aroma is almost fish-like - effing strange - also a hint of smoke. Flavor is lightly smoked malts, caramel, bitter grasses. Not one of my favorites by them.

Anniversary Ale (First) from Pro Re Nata Brewery

7.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Sample at GABF 10/08/2016, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. Reddish-amber color with a medium thick khaki head that recedes gradually. Small patches of lace. Dark fruit, yeast and malt aroma. Full-bodied with a vinous oak character and notes of earthy yeast and caramel malt. The finish is oaky with a red wine and yeast aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Pours dark brown with a soft head. Aroma of clove. Taste is heavy roasted clove, minor cinnamon, bitter nutmeg. I like spice, but this one perhaps went way overboard.
