September 1999 in the heart of downtown Charlottesville, VA.
Our main production facility has located in Crozet, VA since 2005. In September 2017, we opened our Pilot Brewery & Side Stage location in Roanoke, VA.
Starr Hill Brewery currently distributes in Virginia and Tennessee.
To find out exactly where our beer is sold in the states listed, please use our Beer Finder.
We suggest hopping in the car and driving to the nearest state where we distribute or you could try calling a friend who lives in one of the states above and asking them to ship some your way.
Due to state and federal distribution laws, Starr Hill Brewery is unable to sell or ship beers to consumers over the phone or via the internet.
Starr Hill Brewery is slowly expanding into new markets as capacity allows so we can supply the freshest beer to our customers.
Starr Hill Brewery has always been independent, privately-owned and operated.
The date printed on each of our bottles, cases and variety packs is the date on which the beer was packaged. For example, if the number on the bottle reads “01202019” that particular bottle was packaged on January 20, 2019. On the variety packs, the “Packaged On” date is stamped on the top of the box and is the date on which the bottles inside were packaged. “Bottled On” and “Packaged On” dates are stamped on the sides of cases.
Generally, yes. We do not use animal products in the cellaring or brewing process. However, experimental beers brewed sometimes use lactose, honey or other specialty ingredients, but we call it out in the description or name.
Our beers are made using hops, water, yeast, malted barley and wheat. The only preservatives we use are hops, and any additional ingredients we use are natural too, like cherries, coriander, cocoa nibs, grapefruit, etc. No common GMO products touch our beer, with the exception of our Monticello Reserve Ale, which is brewed in the tradition of Thomas Jefferson with corn and filtered with rice hulls.

Yes, both Tap Room locations are the best places to pick up Starr Hill beer to take home and enjoy later! We offer packaged beer (6-packs, variety packs, full cases, and cans), kegs (½ or ⅙ barrel), as well as growler and crowler (32oz. can) fills from any of our available taps.
To-go beer can be purchased during regular business hours (listed above) and on Mondays in Crozet between 9AM – 5PM by reservation only. To reserve kegs or cases to go, please e-mail taproom@starrhill.com or roanoke@starrhill.com.
Growlers are an easy, green way to enjoy draft beer! We sell several types of 2-liter growlers in the Tap Room. The cost of the growler includes the first fill. Growler Club members bring their growlers to the brewery to get their fill and they get a punch on a card for each fill. After 6 fills, members will receive a credit for one growler fill. (Good for any year-round or seasonal beer available. Limited release beers available for additional charge.)
