Charlotteville Brewing Company

As young twenty-somethings, Mark Thompson and Kristin Dolan always knew they wanted to do something with the family farm. Although their education and eventual careers took them in other directions, their initial inclination was never very far away. In 2010, they bought half of their family's farm and decided to start growing hops. It was from here that their dream to one day own an estate brewery started to evolve.

Since then, they've gleaned some knowledge, accomplished some goals, and constructed a sound idea of what they wanted our business to look like. The folks at Charlottesville Brewing Company have built a kick-ass brewery in one of two incredible turn-of-the-century barns. In the other, they've created a beautiful space, with an adjacent outdoor patio, for guests to lounge, imbibe, and nibble all day long.
