Blue Mountain Brewery

West of Charlottesville between Veritas Winery and Pollak Vineyards lies just what you need:  a brewery. With food.  Good food. 

You will appreciate Blue Mountain Brewery as you make your way along the Monticello Wine Trail. Everything appeals after a long day of wine tasting – the Nitro chili dog (made with the brewery’s Nitro Ale), the pulled pork barbecue, the beer-boiled local Bratwurst (all $9).  Even the live music and the lively crowd are a welcome change of pace, with a happy throng of mid-20s to 30-somethings packing the tables in the simple but stylish restaurant.

Try a beer sampling – $5 for 6 samples.  That’s the popular choice here.  Not a lot of wine drinking going on, but if you decide to hang out and listen to the music, you’ll be happy to know all the wine is Virginia. So you can continue your tasting day without even leaving your chair.
