What is Virginia Beer Day?
On Thursday, August 13, 2026, participating breweries across Virginia will sell an exclusive 16 oz Willi Becher glass, available only in taprooms while supplies last. Each glass will feature a custom design created by Chad Hilton of Vasen Brewing. The.Chad.Bod is a Brand Director, Illustrator and Graphic Designer based in Virginia. They have been in the craft beer industry for half a decade creating vibrant, and often trippy, illustrations for beer labels and merchandise. They love spending time with their wife and dog & enjoy drinking a good czech pilsner. Chad is also the Director of Marketing and Design at Väsen Brewing Company.
It’s a simple and effective way to:
- Drive taproom traffic on a Thursday
- Offer something special to loyal guests
- Be part of a unified statewide celebration
- Support scholarships for industry professionals
And most importantly—$1 from every glass sold will go toward scholarships for the 2026 Virginia Brewers Conference, helping industry professionals access valuable education and networking opportunities.
