Blindhouse Beer is taken from a little known regional term to describe a windowless cottage or cabin. Historically, these concealed spaces were used as a way to focus and sober the mind of the drunk and disorderly. Somewhat ironically, it represents our single-minded focus on crafting the best possible beer using traditional techniques and regionally-sourced ingredients. We strive to bring together family, friends, and neighbors over a well-crafted beer that represents the spirit of Virginia and greater Appalachia through our eyes.

Our Beers
Blindhouse beers are focused on mixed-culture fermentation in the Saison tradition. Native yeast and bacteria surround us everywhere, from floating in the ambient air to covering the leaves of plants, petals of flowers and skins of various fruits growing in the wild. At Blindhouse, we harness these and use them to create complex expressions of the microflora Southwest Virginia has to offer. The resulting beers contain layers of classic Belgian Saison esters, floral and fruity aromatics and delicate acidity. Their beauty is in their nuanced simplicity, which pairs well with food and conversation but are also worth talking about themselves.
