UNLOCK YOUR GUIDE

How the Chaos Began!

The idea started in 1998 when Wendy Hallock gave her husband Joe a home brewing kit as a Christmas present. So, I guess you can say this new-founded endeavor is her fault! In 2012, the opportunity to sell their interest in their previous business left them with a dilemma. Too young to retire and terrible at golf, it was obvious they would have to start another business. With a 20,000 square foot building from the sale to work with, they wondered what to do with it? As any great mind will tell you, BEER was the answer!

Of course, you can’t start a brewery without a name. Located at the base of Cahas Mountain in Franklin County, Virginia, Cahas Mountain Brewing was the first choice. But no one outside of Franklin County knows where Cahas Mountain is. Over a few tasty craft beers, the brewery name (d)evolved into “Chaos.” Besides, the name Chaos lends itself to more creativity for the business. As we like to say, “Chaos is Brewing!”

So now, with a name – Chaos Mountain Brewing – and a year of research and planning behind them, they put a deposit down on a 30BBL brewhouse made from DME, Diversified Metal Engineering, and promptly left to spend two weeks in Germany and Belgium to do more research! Our crew started construction in August, and seven months later, the brewery opened to the public!
