Description
Set in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of Central Virginia, Blue Mountain opened in 2007 as the region’s first rural brewery. Founders Taylor and Mandi Smack and Matt Nucci had a vision to bring the brewery experience out of the normal hustle and bustle of an urban environment. Today, we’re still focused on making an inspired range of the highest-quality beers that can be enjoyed at our two locations in beautiful Nelson County, or in bottles and cans throughout Virginia and beyond.

Draft. Poured a light ruby color with a small off-white head. Aroma was some spice, with notes of yeast, light sweet malts. Flavor was sweet malts, with some notes of yeast and some dark, dried fruits. Relatively light, at least more light than I expected.

Can in NYC. Pours clear, rich gold with a huge, off-white cream head. Sugary, bredy and lightly toasted malts on the nose, with notes of fading pine. It tastes alright, medium sweet with bready malts, suggestions of caramel, a bit of dry grass and pine, mellow earth. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet and faintly resinous to finish, with nips of caramel, toasted bread and piney, herbal bitterness. Not bad.

Bottle shared by me at Max’s, even with the local crew from that other beer site, I forget its name. Clear dark brown color, massive brown head, solid lacing. Aroma of sour whiskey. Taste is vanilla, sour brandied summer fruit. A bit too long in the barrel, so a bit too much booze in the taste, but that’s a minor point otherwise tasty.

850th Virginia Rating! 750 mL bottle from Beer Run. Pours a clear dark brown color with a large foamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of chocolate, bourbon, earth, stone fruits, mild tartness. The taste is roasted malts, chocolate, bourbon, wood, lots of fruits, mild tartness. Medium bodied. Nice beer, but the sourness lends more of a fruity note than any real sour.

Bottle thanks to Andy! Pours black with a grayish brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a strong roasted malt note with some bitter chocolate a hint of coffee and a bourbon backing. Flavor starts with dark grains that grow in roasted malts and has a boozy bourbon finish.
