Who We Are

Great Wilderness Brewing Company, it’s more than just a brewery, it’s a community-driven destination founded by U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Scot Rockafellow and Award Winning Homebrewer Scott Stewart. After years of perfecting their craft, they made their dream a reality in 2025. They set out to create a brewery that not only serves exceptional beers but also serves as a hub for the local communities within the New River Valley.
