 Scottsville is located at the great Horseshoe Bend in the James River, just 20 miles south of Charlottesville.  The town and its history are intertwined with the James  River: from flat-bottom river batteau boats of centuries past to present-day tubing, kayaking and recreational fishing. In our logo,setting and names of beers, James River Brewery honors the town, the river, and the past while always looking towards the future.
