Brew Skies Festival

01/04/2017

It is with a heavy heart, but bittersweet feelings that we unfortunately announce that Mountain State Brewing Co. have decided to retire the Brew Skies Festival in its current form for the foreseeable future. It was a great run, an enjoyable experience and successful venture for the area, but we’ve firmly decided to refocus our efforts on the core of the business moving forward: high quality craft beer - West Virginia Born & Brewed. With the recent brewhouse upgrade, building expansion and canning line, we have more than tripled our capacity, opening up opportunities for expanded distribution, increased quality control and new seasonal offerings. These will be our focal points for the new year and beyond. We’d like to thank all of the bands, vendors, breweries, venues and fans that have supported the event over the years, and we do hope to continue to celebrate the festival in some capacity at our Thomas brew house location this summer - stay tuned. Thanks again to all who have contributed, and we appreciate your continued support!

Old 97's emerged from Dallas, TX at forefront of a major musical movement, blending rootsy country-influenced songwriting with raw punk rock energy and delivery. The New York Times described their major label debut, ‘Too Far To Care’, as "a cornerstone of the 'alternative country' movement…[that] leaned more toward The Clash than the Carter Family."

You don't want to miss the first night of the Brew Skies Festival ... Patrick Sweany Music might be one of the most talented pure musicians of the weekend!

Kelsey Waldon's new album "I've Got A Way" can now be streamed in it's entirety on NPR Music.

It's the immediacy of Waldon's storytelling, utterly unsentimental yet deeply heartfelt, that makes the young country singer a queen of the cool rejoinder and an all-around contender.

“While writing this album, I was going through many transitions in my life [...] I was reaching a place where I was very much over false pride, false confidence, and also just petty things.”
