It all began with a simple revelation:  West Virginia needed, and more importantly deserved, a brewery that could provide great beer to all West Virginians.  There were already a few pubs around making beer, yet not a single brewery dedicated to simply producing beer in bottles and kegs for the entire state to enjoy.

In 2007 we did just that.  Mountaineeer Brewing Company was born in Martinsburg, West Virginia with that single goal in mind.  We developed a diverse portfolio of beer styles to offer, and on New Year’s Eve 2007 we brewed the very first batch of Mountaineer beer.  Beginning with just one brewer and a lot of help from the founders of the company, we now employ a full staff to keep up with the demand for Mountaineeer beer.

Our goal had been realized in a very short time.  We were suddenly distributing our beer throughout the great state of West Virginia and the response was overwhelming.  It  became apparent that the surrounding region wanted some too!  So, we found ourselves expanding the brewery in the first year in order to begin selling our beer in other states.  Not only did West Virginia deserve better beer, so did everyone else.

Our commitment to quality and our community has been paramount to our success.  We have sponsored local events to raise money for charities around the area and have met some wonderful people in the process, people who love good beer and are proud to have a local brewery to call their own.  We were honored by West Virginia’s 167th Air National Guard when we shared our Mountaineer mascot with them for their “Challenge Coin.”  On this coin you will also find this quote:

“Montani Semper Liberi” – Mountaineers are always free.

Handcrafted, high quality and distinct beer has grown continuously in the United States of America.  As brewers we have not only brought back the classic beer styles of old, but have even invented styles unique and all our own.  We are proud to be a part of the new beer revolution, to make beer we enjoy, and to make beer for you.  So grab a glass, we hope you enjoy our beer, we sure enjoy making it.  Cheers!
