4 Best Craft Breweries near Staunton

“What a great find! We were a little perplexed that it was a Friday night and there was hardly anyone in there, but once we started tasting, the beer was superb! Shout out to the bartender Augustus and a local Nick for their recommendations! We loved it so much We are going back the next night!“

“I absolutely loved this place! Great selection of original hand crafted brews. You absolutely must have a flight (or share a couple of flights among friends) to experience the variety they have.

The barkeep was friendly and knowledgeable. The warehouse space had a lot of ambiance with hand painted murals on the walls.

My favorites from this visit oct 2025:

Bowman Nutella S'mores 10%
Imperial stout aged six months in bourbon barrels Graham cracker forward (hazelnut & pralines with toasted marshmallow). Bourbon mid pallet. Finish is soft cocoa that ends with a nice high gravity bite.

Blue Ridge Breakfast stout 6.5%
Milk stout aged on local breakfast blend coffee beans. Aged 10 months on roasted coffee beans.
Pronounced coffee nose
Soft lactose forward, beautiful smooth coffee mid pallet, no bite finish.

Stargazer black IPA with toasted rye 7.8%

Forward Dark and rich toasted rye flavor
Just a hint of bite at the finish.

Saison 5% Belgian golden ale lightly spiced with ginger, grains of paradise and citrus peel.
Ginger nose.
Soft citrus peel forward.
Grains of paradise mid palate and soft finish.

I love the area, the history and the museums, but I’ll return just to visit Redbeard Brewing. Loved every single brew I tried. The brew meister(s) are true artisans.“

“Our first time going. We loved it! Definitely will be back. I had the dry cider, strawberry cider and a blueberry ale. The pork nachos were so yummy, I got the salmon and gnocchi - it was delicious. The first bite, I was amazed. Worth the trip, I definitely will be returning. 😌“
