Belt’s Beer Garden: Farm Fresh

Blue Mountain Brewery calls Afton, Virginia home (about 90 miles northwest of Richmond) and sits near the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Opening back in 2007, they were the first rural brewery in Virginia and, as a farm brewery, they also grow their own hops.

Currently Blue Mountain offers seven year-round beers but has at least ten brews available at any given time in their taproom. And, if you’re not in Afton, they have a second location - Blue Mountain Barrel House & Smokin’ Barrel Restaurant - in Arrington, Virginia which is about 30 miles south of their OG place.
