Burial Beer Co Forestry Camp

Within one year, demand outpaced production and a 10 barrel system was added and taproom space increased. By 2016, Burial expanded to a new production facility, Forestry Camp – Originally built in the 1930s by the US Government, Forestry Camp was a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) site housing men stationed to work on the Blue Ridge Parkway, among other environmental construction projects in the area. After sitting almost completely dormant for years after the program’s conclusion in 1942, Tim, Jess, and Doug knew it was time for these 100-year-old buildings to house the next Burial expansion project. The first phase included a new 20 barrel brewhouse with 60 barrel fermenters, allowing production to keep up with growing demand. The next 5 buildings were then restored and now houses Burial’s main offices, a barrel-aging facility, and winery, as well as the Forestry Camp restaurant.
