Shooting Creek is a bold watercourse that runs down the eastern flank of the Blue Ridge mountains. For old-timers, the hollows along Shooting Creek had a reputation as a special place for brewing. The combination of culture, toporaphy and climate along the Highlands escarpment make it an ideal location for growing ingredients, making fine beer, and continuing the legacy of quality brews, though not quite in the refined form of its predecessor, Shooting Creek 'shine. In 2004, Brett Nichols and Ray Jones began exploring the idea of starting a farm brewery in Floyd County. Inspired by the traditional beer making methods and recipes brought to America by the earliest European settlers, they honed their skills and fomulas, making small batches of Colonial Farmhouse ales and wild-fermented Farmhouse ales. Shooting Creek Farm Brewery grew out of those early experiments, to supply the area with quality, delicious beers. The brewery's location in Floyd County, an area of many organic and small family farms, grounds our beers in the long tradition of Farmhouse Ales, and gives access to fresh ingredients and the crisp, subterranean waters of the Blue Ridge Highlands. We bottle-ferment our beers in the tradition of the true farmhouse ale. We try, whenever possible, to use organic ingredients directly from local Floyd farms. Our beers are made in small batches, and sold locally.
