Brewery Profile

Short Story Brewing Morgantown

For visitors exploring the Morgantown-area beer scene, the Westover taproom gives Short Story Brewing a local foothold just outside the city’s core. The brewery began in Rivesville in 2017 and later expanded to taprooms in Morgantown, Charleston, and Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, so this stop represents a broader West Virginia brewery rather than a one-off bar. Walking in, guests should expect a taproom centered on rotating beer releases, with a food menu available and the day’s selection changing over time. Chasing Daylight IPA is one of the brewery’s known craft beers, but availability should be confirmed on site because selections rotate.

Travelers in North Central West Virginia often look for a mix of familiar craft styles and beers that show what a regional brewery is currently testing or refining. Short Story fits that kind of visit by emphasizing quality, consistency, and experimentation across its offerings. Its beers are distributed throughout North Central West Virginia, which means some visitors may recognize a label before arriving, while the taproom may offer a broader or more current look at what the brewery is releasing. For someone pairing a Morgantown trip with outdoor stops, campus-area activities, or a drive through nearby towns, the Westover taproom can serve as a straightforward beer stop without requiring a long detour.

Practical planning is best done close to the visit. The taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, current food menu, and any limited releases, since beer selections change regularly. Event scheduling is handled through the brewery’s website, which is also the most reliable source for details that can shift, such as programming or special releases. Short Story was recognized by the Times West Virginian as the “best family-owned business” of 2024, a useful bit of local context for visitors interested in West Virginia-grown breweries. Beyond that, travelers should avoid assuming specific amenities unless they have checked directly with the taproom.
