"I'm ashamed to say I haven't been there since the most recent ownership/name change. " I'll tell you it is a good place to go. Good food and good beer. I heard that at first when they reopened it was horrible and avoided the place. Apparantly someone just needed to teach them how to clean their equipment correctly, only been there a few times but was worth it. You don't even have to buy their growlers, if you have other growlers they will fill them right up.

I had one of Mountaineer Brewing Co's "Vidalia" beer at a beer festival last year. Expected it to taste like an onion...instead it reminded me of a mouthfull of copper. Their Nut Brown is good though.

lol, it's actually 'Vandalia' (the name of a proposed colony in the 1700s that included most of what is now WV), not 'Vidalia' (the onion). I've not had it myself. But I do love Nut Brown.

Made my way to the newest Mountain State Brewing Company venue in the Wharf District in Morgantown last night. Wood fired pizza and Amber Ale = good stuff!

Hate to share this news, but Mountaineer Brewing Company in Martinsburg has closed.

From their Facebook page:

Official announcement: Mountaineer is now closed. This is VERY sad news for all of us. Sales were great but a corporate business decision was made. The brewery is posted for sale @ Probrewer.com now. We thank all of you who have supported us the past 4+ years. Anyone interested in starting a brewery or investing in one please message me. I hope to see you again in the near future. Cheers, Daniel Maerzluft, Brewmaster

We have two local breweries here in Morgantown... Morgantown Brewing Company and Chestnut Brewery. There is also a restaurant and pub operated by Mountain State Brewing Company of Thomas located here. All three offer wonderful craft beers. My personal favorite is Amber Blonde from Morgantown Brewing Company, but the Mountain State Bock beer is also excellent as are a couple of the Chestnut Brewery beers but I can't remember the names.
