Description
Charlottesville’s original brewery located one block off the downtown mall.
Welcome to the rebirth of Charlottesville’s longest-running brewery and pub! South Street Brewery was purchased in 2014 by Blue Mountain Brewery, whose owners have a deep connection with this storied brewing establishment. Two of Blue
Mountain’s founders—Mandi and Taylor Smack—both worked for South Street over a decade ago, Taylor having been the brewer from late 2001 until early 2007. Our company is
committed to maintaining and revitalizing this important Charlottesville landmark and gathering place.
We hope you enjoy our expanded beer offerings, including venerated South Street originals that helped shape the Central Virginia beer scene, as well as new beers reflecting the diversity and experimentation that is the heart of American craft brewing.

Admin Note: Originally established in 1998, South Street Brewery was purchased by Blue Mountain Brewery owners Taylor and Mandi Smack in 2014. Taylor Smack brewed at South Street Brewery for 5 years before founding Blue Mountain.

On tap at South Street. Pours black, small beige head. Smells of chocolate (duh!) and coffee. Taste is the same. Simple but delicious.

On tap at the brewery. Pours golden amber with a small head. Yummy citrus, pine notes in the nose... taste is similar. Reminds me a bit of Champion’s Missile IPA right down the street.

On nitro tap at the brewery. Coffee, nuts, dark fruit flavors. This is pretty tasty. I may have overrated this, but at the time I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Norms Beer and Wine, Vienna, VA 750ml: pours black with a beige head. Aroma is chocolate and a bit of coffee. Taste is just a lot of dark chocolate. Not too sweet either. Not too complex, but perfectly nice.
