About Rockfish Brewing Company Downtown

Rockfish Brewing Company Downtown is the Downtown Mall taproom of a Charlottesville nano-brewery. Rockfish also runs a second taproom on Preston Ave. The brewery makes small, frequent batches, so the beer styles change often.

The beer library covers a wide range. It includes American Pale Ale, New England IPA, Czech Pilsner, Irish Stout and Baltic Porter. Fruited goses such as Blackberry and Passionfruit Guava show up too.

The downtown taproom has its own dining menu alongside the beer list. Good dogs are allowed. The entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating are all wheelchair accessible.

Rockfish takes private events and keg orders through the contact page on its website. The same page has a private event info section for groups planning a gathering.
