Mountain State Brewing Co

West Virginia


The $6 flight of eight beers may be the best deal going in the state. And staff might even throw in a sample of sangria, because heck, why not? On a cold night the Coal Miner's Daughter Oatmeal Stout hits the spot. The wood-hewn tasting room feels like a camp lodge in the deep woods.
