The story of Devils Backbone Brewing Company goes like this: years ago, our founders, Steve and Heidi Crandall, were on a ski trip in the Alps when they tried their first craft beer, a German Weisse at a brewpub & it was like no beer they had ever tasted. So, to satisfy their thirst for a local haunt that served craft European-style beers, they started a whole brewery complete with a full-on brewpub for locals and visitors.

It became a place where folks could drink and tell stories about their time on the trail, ski slope, or both.

They named it Devils Backbone; the same name brave surveyors, including Thomas Jefferson’s dad, Peter, called this hard-to-summit mountain region almost 300 years ago. Kinda poetic, right?

In 2016, Devils Backbone Brewing Company was acquired by Anheuser-Busch. Since then, we’ve continued to brew award-winning beers that we’re proud of, as well as share our beers with more friends than ever before! And there’s your history lesson. In short, we think drinking outdoors together is vital to our happiness as humans. It’s why we want every product we make to meet not just our own standards, but the standards of our friends and family.

We value our time spent at home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and we know that it’s only home when we’re enjoying it with our people. So, if you’re ever in Virginia, we’d love for you to join us - stop by the brewery and grab a cold one. We’ve got a story to tell you.
