The first brewery in Orange VA is now pouring its own in-house hand-crafted beers! Inspired by Willow Spring’s crystal clear water, bubbling from a hidden spring in Orange County which has provided refreshment to man and wildlife alike for hundreds of years, our beers are all brewed using local water sources nature has graciously provided to us.
Owned by and located in the back room of The Light Well restaurant, (110 E Main St Orange VA, www.thelightwell.com ), Willow Spring Brewery is now in operation. Brewer Dave Ganoe, also the chef of the Light Well, is currently offering 4 original recipes:
The flagship brew, The Fat Nancy, an American Style pale ale, commemorates an 1888 train wreck which occurred just west of Orange.
The Mad Jimmy - named after Orange County's favorite son, President James Madison. Brew Master Ganoe carefully crafts every batch of this double IPA.
Rapid Ann Rye, a red ale named after our lovely Rapidan River, one of the premier headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay and the drinking water source of the surrounding counties.
Chicken Mountain Chicory Stout, a unique dark beer made with locally harvested chicory - a lovely, smooth, 5% ABV stout.
And enjoy the Light Well fare with your draught!
