Backbone Brewing Company goes like this: years ago, our founders,
Steve and Heidi Crandall, were on a ski trip in the Alps when they
tried their first craft beer, a German Weisse at a brewpub & it was
like no beer they had ever tasted.So, to satisfy their thirst for a
local haunt that served craft European-style beers, they started a
whole brewery complete with a full-on brewpub for locals and
visitors. It became a place where folks could drink and tell
stories about their time on the trail, ski slope, or both.They
named it Devils Backbone; the same name brave surveyors, including
Thomas Jefferson's dad, Peter, called this hard-to-summit mountain
region almost 300 years ago. Kinda poetic, right?In 2016, Devils
Backbone Brewing Company was acquired by Anheuser-Busch. Since
then, we've continued to brew award-winning beers that we're proud
of, as well as share our beers with more friends than ever
before!And there's your history lesson. In short, we think drinking
outdoors together is vital to our happiness as humans. It's why we
want every product we make to meet not just our own standards, but
the standards of our friends and family. We value our time spent at
home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and we know that it's only home
when we're enjoying it with our people. So, if you're ever in
Virginia, we'd love for you to join us - stop by the brewery and
grab a cold one. We've got a story to tell you. ROLE SUMMARY: The
