About Rockfish Brewing Company

Rockfish Brewing Company is a brewery on Preston Avenue in Charlottesville. Its website calls it a nano-brewery that makes small, frequent batches. The company also runs a second taproom on the Downtown Mall.

Small batches mean the lineup changes often. The website keeps a beer library of past pours, from American pale ale and California common to Czech pilsner, Baltic porter and Irish stout. It also lists hazy New England IPA, West Coast IPA and fruited goses, plus amber ale, pumpkin ale and Irish red.

Google lists a wheelchair accessible entrance, parking lot and restroom. The website's contact page says good dogs are allowed. The same page takes inquiries about private events and kegs.
