Starr Hill Brewery

Starr Hill Brewery in Crozet, Virginia, stands as a cornerstone of the Commonwealth's craft beer revolution, having served exceptional beers since 1999. Founded by Charlottesville native Mark Thompson, who returned to Virginia after honing his brewing skills in Oregon and Colorado, the brewery embodies the perfect fusion of musical heritage and brewing artistry. The Crozet taproom at 5391 Three Notch'd Rd offers visitors an authentic experience featuring award-winning beers crafted by Head Brewer Jeff Metz, who recently brought home three medals from the Virginia Craft Brewers Cup. The spacious outdoor patio provides the perfect setting to enjoy signature brews like the beloved Jomo IPA alongside seasonal rotations and limited releases. Starr Hill has expanded to six locations across Virginia, including Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Richmond, and Tysons, but the Crozet flagship maintains its founding spirit with regular live music events, visiting food trucks, and a welcoming atmosphere that attracts both locals and tourists exploring the scenic Blue Ridge region. The brewery's partnership with Hardywood Park Craft Brewery further strengthens its position as a leader in Virginia's thriving craft beer scene. Open daily until 11pm, the Crozet location offers tastings, tours, and a retail shop featuring exclusive Starr Hill merchandise.
