About Halleck Brewing Company
At Halleck Brewing Company, great beer is our passion. We blend the art and science of brewing to create unique tastes that people love. We believe in community, collaboration and, above all, creativity. We’ll never stop experimenting with flavor and exploring new ingredients to brew West Virginia’s favorite craft beers.
Halleck Brewing Company began as Chestnut Brew Works in 2013 as a modest 30-gallon brewery on Halleck Road in Morgantown. At that time, we were one of only seven breweries in the state. Founder Bill Rittenour built a small but powerful lineup of what are still some of our star players: Nate’s Nut Brown Ale, Your Best Hoption, Class II Wheatwater and Halleck Pale Ale. Halleck, our most popular beer, hit the then-emerging pale ale sweet spot of hoppy but not bitter. It was an instant success with a cult following.
Demand outpaced supply. In 2015, we moved our brewing operations to the historic Greenmont neighborhood near downtown Morgantown. The 7-barrell, 217-gallon brewery and tasting room on Brockway Avenue was a staple in the community for nearly a decade. We are excited to announce we have moved to a location on Old Cheat Road and have plans of opening a tap room soon.
