Lots and lots of smiles this past Wednesday night as Mandi and Taylor Smack rolled out the soft re-open of the newly renovated South Street Brewery. The duo bought the Charlottesville landmark back in the Summer of 2014. “I was a brewer there for five years and it is still near and dear to my heart. Plus, we’re excited to have a bastion of beer making and a great brewpub environment right in downtown Charlottesville,” says Taylor, who worked at South Street from 2002 until 2007 when he, his wife Mandi opened Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton.
