Description
The people behind Pale Fire Brewing Co. love the moment creativity is sparked and the fact that there is generally a great beer close by. The big idea, scribbled first on a bar napkin. Friends noodling around guitars, who suddenly realize they’ve hit on something great. Stories, told around a campfire, when nobody has a clue what time it is. Great beer is there.
In 2013, a space in a renovated Ice House in downtown Harrisonburg became available. It was perfect; the wheels were in motion. Pale Fire Brewing Co. opened in April 2015.
Pale Fire beer is currently distributed in Virginia by Virginia Eagle in Harrisonburg, Blacksburg, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Winchester and Northern Virginia; and also by Specialty Beverage in Richmond, Roanoke, and Tidewater. You can also find Pale Fire beer in Washington, D.C. and Maryland, distributed by Legends Limited. Our beer is available in 1/6 barrel and 1/2 barrel kegs, 12oz bottles, and small runs of 16oz cans.
Visit our Tap Room, which is open daily at 1pm.

My first 7 quid pint; decent pale ale with aromas of fruit, hops, some pines - tastes similar, with a smooth finish. Enjoyed it.

Pint can from Wine Warehouse, 5/17/21. Black, large frothy tan head. Fascinating bubble structure, as @CrellMoset would say. Rock and weird. Lives up to the name. I see botryoidal chalcedony in the bubbles at first, than just a nice Connect 4 line. Big head, structure always evolving. If I've talked about the appearance this long, I suppose the score should be a 5. Aroma of roast, chocolate, yeast, a faint bit of dark fruit. Taste is molasses, dark fruits, nuts, roast. Thin. Solid.
