ABOUT BBC

Blacksburg Brewing Co. (BBC) is an independent specialty brewer of premium beer.  As mandated by the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law), our beer is brewed with only 4 ingredients: water, barley malt, hops, and yeast.  The best beer requires the best ingredients, so we purchase them regardless of the cost.  We pay a premium to import the Cadillac of barley malt from Bamberg, and our hops from The Hallertau are the best that money can buy, period.

We even use better water.  A lot of breweries just settle for whatever comes out of the faucet, but not us.  We pull pure, ground filtered water from a deep well prior to an ion exchange. This adjusts residual alkalinity to a level that sets the stage for optimal conditions in the brewhouse and eventually, in your beer glass.

These quality ingredients meet competence in the brewhouse, where certified Brewmaster John Bryce puts expertise to work.  Bryce, BBC’s founder, earned the title Brewmaster VLB from the renowned Versuchs- und Lehranstalt für Brauerei in Berlin.  Our combination of proficiency and premium ingredients ensures that BBC stands for the quality and consistency in which we Blacksburgers take great pride.

We also take great care of our culture yeast, resulting in a clean, consistent beer that is free of flavor defects and hangover-heavy fusel alcohols.  As a discerning beer drinker, you want nothing but the best - an experience that we are committed to providing.
