USA, VA: Chilly Hollow Brewing Company hosts grand opening in Berryville

Anew brewery has opened its doors in Clarke County. Chilly Hollow Brewing Company, a new brewery on a Berryville cattle farm, hosted its grand opening in early December, Northern Virginia reported on November 6.

The new space is located at 669 Chilly Hollow Rd., Berryville, just off Route 7. Visitors to the brewery will find a menu of craft brews, courtesy of head brewer Chris Jacques, who joined the team after 20 years in the brewery business, according to a Facebook post from Chilly Hollow.

The brewery prides itself on having something for everyone. Its website boasts more than a dozen types of beer, available in either 16-ounce pours or by the pitcher, along with locally sourced wines from The Winery at Bull Run and Rappahannock Cellars. For those not drinking, there are non-alcoholic beers, soda, and nitro cold brew on tap from area coffee shop Cordial Coffee Co.

There’s a full menu of food options as well, ranging from bar-food appetizers like chicken wings and pretzel bites to full meals like barbecue sandwiches and burgers.

This is all located on a sprawling farm with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, occupied by cows roaming the fields. The indoor taproom space can seat about 125 guests. Visitors can relax on the 4,000-square-foot covered porch and spend time enjoying cornhole and other yard games. There are plans to open a large fenced-in playground for children soon, though the website notes that it is still currently under construction.

And, since Chilly Hollow is on a real cattle farm, visitors also have the chance to take home grass-fed beef that was raised right on the farm and processed locally. There are options for ground beef, T-bone steak, porterhouse steak, and more. Cuts are available for purchase at the taproom, and there’s a waiting list for purchasing quarter, half, or whole cows.

Children and leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome at the brewery. Chilly Hollow operates on a first-come, first-served basis, but groups of 12 or more can inquire about reserving a section for a private party.

The brewery will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays, and noon to 8 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. It is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
