Excitement is building here at Shooting Creek as we prepare for our very first bottling day with our very first batch of beer- Buffalo Brown Ale.
Our dedication to provide the area with premium craft beer remains undiminished by the long hours spent laboring over the many details of the brewing process. It has been a real treat to learn all of the particulars and nuances of our equipment these last several weeks and I feel that the small scale of our operation has really fostered a level of commitment at every level of the business.
The families that support the Shooting Creek staff (Brett and myself) have endured many challenges with the building of this business and continue to stick by us as we work to bring you and the region our interpretation of American Farmhouse Ales. We hope that you will taste the results and judge for yourselves.
Please continue to track our progress as I will be posting many more updates in the coming weeks.
Best Wishes,
Jason Anderson

Calendar of Events for Shooting Creek Brewery
Greetings and Salutations Shooting Creek devotees!
Just an update on upcoming events and happenings around the brewery. We've been feverishly readying ourselves for the indelible mark we're going to make on the Virginia beer scene this summer. So we've now got 2 batches of beer under our belts. Our first batch of Buffalo Brown is conditioning in our bright tank and our Rebel Ale is in its primary stage of fermentation. Bottling should start in a couple of weeks. Translation- you'll be able to find us on the shelf at the grocery store by the end of next month! We're greatly looking forward to your feedback.
