1863 Brewing LLC is excited to get started in Morgantown WV. 1863 will be located at 1291 University Avenue in the heart of Morgantown West Virginia. You might notice in the pictures a semblance of familiarity. We will be located in the location of West Virginia’s oldest Brewpub. Originally the One Onion in the 1980’s, then West Virginia Brewing until the early 2000’s when it became Morgantown Brewing under 2 separate iterations.
Why 1863? 1863 was a tumultuous and exciting time in the United States. In 1863 we were in the middle of the Civil War. Book ended by the Fredericksburg Campaign and the Battle of Gettysburg on June 20, 1863 West Virginia officially became a state.
While we are excited to reinvigorate this location much will stay the same. The classic brewpub feel; original copper brewhouse, updated copper bar, and historical Morgantown decor will stay the same. Classic Morgantown Brewing beers will grace the menu…Zack Morgan IPA, Alpha Blond, and 80 Schilling Scotch Ale to name a few. We are actively researching and hope to find original beer recipes from the One Onion and West Virginia Brewing days.
We are also excited to welcome new beers and food options. These will include a Simcoe and Citra hopped IPA, Cinco De Hoppe (a blend of 5 hop varieties), and a Ube tuber inspired milkshake IPA. We are carefully curating a food menu which will be inspiring and all encompassing. Appetizers, wings, burgers, sandwiches, and diner options will be featured in this all encompassing menu which is sure to allow everyone to find something that satisfies their pallet.
