Visit Virginia: Blue Mountain Brewery Restaurant & Brewpub

It was a warm summer's day in Charlottesville, VA, yet the outdoor tables at Blue Mountain Brewery Restaurant & Brewpub were almost all spoken for. If people were willing to sit outside, in the heat, I figured the beer must be good!

Blue Mountain Brewery has two hops fields, one of which is right next door to the restaurant!

And the restaurant is kid- and pet-friendly!

Since we had already eaten a huge lunch, I shared the BMB Nachos - house-made tortilla chips piled high with a Pepper Jack Nacho Cheese Sauce, a Black Bean and Corn Salsa, Salsa Roja, Sour Cream, Jalapenos, and Chili.

Kids items are served with a choice of salad, mini pretzels, sliced apples, applesauce, or French Fries.

I also decided to try a beer cocktail. The Strawberry Lemonade Shandy was made with Kolsch 151, strawberries, simple syrup, and lemonade.

Kolsch 151 is not the kind of 151 I'm used to (e.g. Don Q) - it's actually a light, German-style ale. Since I'm not a huge beer drinker, I didn't really care for the cocktail.

However, I enjoyed the food, and Blue Mountain Brewery is definitely a fun spot to get together with friends and family!
