Pro Re Nata Brewery

 

First visit to this brewery. One if the owners was there and he was more than happy to talk about the operation. Very enthusiastic and very outgoing. I was thoroughly impressed with the layout, atmosphere, and decor. The service was excellent and engaging. A great selection of over 20 beers ( I think I counted 21). We were there rather early on a Sunday afternoon, and as we were leaving, I could see the place filling up for an afternoon of football. They do have a stage set up for live music, although I don't know when that happens. I only wish it was a bit closer to home.

 

 

 

Absolutely fantastic location, spacious, large patio, and a crazy cool structure made out of storage units in the back. I don't know where the farm comes from? The beer is mediocre, worth a visit

Spacious seating indoors and out. Large parking lot with overflow. Located just off I-64, the brewery is easy to find. It does not serve food, but there was a large food truck/trailer in the parking lot. Classic rock on the radio, attentive staff, and laid back vibe. Small stage for live music. A couple of big screen TVs with ball games on. Young couples with kids on a Sunday afternoon. Tried 4 beers which were average.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Atmosphere: awesome feel and vibe to this new place. a great outdoor patio with a fire pit, classic games and a new unique game to a brewery. great views of the mountains, on par with the other 151 breweries but a bit close to the road. inside was very nice too and had a big selection of board games.

Quality: the beers seemed well crafted, not the widest variety to get a full feel since they have only been open a short time, but everything I tried represented the style nicely and tasted pretty good.

Service: the staff was very nice and helpful. mostly a serve yourself at the bar but a few bartenders did make their way around to help people out as well.

Selection: They only had 4 beer while I was there but they look set up for lots more and had a few on the way. understandable since they only just opened and have been fairly busy since opening. (i'll have to update as they grow)

Food: I didn't have it yet but they seem to have a partnership with a food truck.

Overall: a very nice addition to the Charlottesville area. a place for great views and a nice relaxing patio. certainly a place I will be keeping an eye on as they grow.
