Brewmaster, Jason Oliver, Of Devils Backbone Brewing in Beech Grove checks gauges in the brew house.

It’s official, Nelson’s 2nd microbrewery is on the way to opening in a little more than a couple of weeks. Within the past day or so Brewmaster, Jason Oliver, of Devils Backbone Brewing Company, fired up the system making the first of what will be countless batches of custom beers turned out at the brewery / restaurant along the road leading up to Wintergreen Resort. “We’re checking everything and making sure the system is working correctly as we begin brewing,” says Jason.

We have been following the development of Nelson’s next microbrewery first here, and most recently here. The restaurant / brewery has a tentative opening of mid November. DBBC will join ,already established, Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton that’s been in operation now for about a year.

Jason checks on one of the batches currently brewing at Devils Backbone.

The brewery is one part of The Village At Glen Mary near the intersection of Route 664 and 151.

Jason checks sugar levels and viscosity of his brew.

In addition to brewing, all of the floors have been recently stained. Furniture arrives next week prior to the opening later in November.

We’ll keep you posted on the progress!
