All of these companies and local entrepreneurs brings jobs, revenue, and most importantly beer to Virginia. I need to find some unemployed people and get them together to form more of these around NOVA cause when it comes to beer there aren't enough options around here. We are being beaten out by a bunch of tie wearing yuppies in Charlottesville.

Anyone know of any new ones being started up?

I am actually trying to find a place to invest money into a start up.

You should check out Devils Backbone:
http://www.dbbrewingcompany.com

The founder and owner is Steven Crandall - Hometown: Fairfax, VA

Guiffre Distributing in Fairfax carries their line. It is really good beer.

Multiple Gold Metal Winners in various International beer competitions including Gold in the 2012 World Beer Cup, a global beer competition presented by the Brewers Association (BA) that evaluates beers from around the world and recognizes the most outstanding brewers and their beers.

Gold, silver and bronze awards in the competition’s 95 beer-style categories were presented May 5, 2012 during the World Beer Cup Gala Awards Dinner at the Town and Country Resort in San Diego, California.

Devils Backbone Brewing Company was awarded a gold medal in the Vienna Style Lager category for its Vienna Lager with amber chestnut colored good looks and a smooth malty finish; it blends the color and flavor without heaviness or bitterness. Just as Vienna Lagers historically inspired Munich’s Oktoberfest beers to evolve, this amber lager has evolved since we opened in 2008 into an award winning beer it is today. Devils Backbone Brewery was established in November 2008 as a brew pub in Nelson County producing just under 1000 barrels per year (one barrel equals 2 kegs or 13 cases) on a 10 hectoliter three vessel brewing system. In 2012, Devils Backbone Brewing Company commissioned a 30 barrel production brewery and tap room in Rockbridge County to bottle and keg their beer throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond with the total capacity of the new facility to be north of 30,000 barrels.

What's the deal on their growlers at Madfox? Will they fill other growlers besides their own.

Concur. I am down at the brewery near Wintergreen twice a month. Good barley pops.

On the topic of beer, is there a local place that has a mondo beer list and gives you some sort of award (tshirt, name above bar, etc) when you go through the whole list?

If anybody wants to do a little roadtrip: http://brewridgetrail.com/

And coming soon (early 2013) to Manassas: http://www.badwolfbrewingcompany.com/
