Brewer and owner, Jeff Hittinger, has been home brewing for over 20 years. His passion is creatively crafted, unfiltered, fresh and delicious beer! His favorites beer styles are Hefeweizens and Stouts. When Jeff decided to open Octonia Stone Brew Works for the Greene County community, he wanted to find a name unique to our county’s rich history. By channeling his love of history and the county he calls home, he decided on the name “Octonia Stone Brew Works”.
The Octonia Stone, also known as “Octoney”, is a historic boundary marker located near Stanardsville, in Greene County, Virginia. The stone marks the terminus of the westernmost boundary line of the 24,000-acre Octonia Grant, made in 1722. It is a granite-type rock which is part of a natural outcropping in a hay field. The stone is engraved with a pre-revolutionary war symbol of a figure 8, composed of two, nearly perfect circles, with a cross touching the top of the 8. This stone was the western most mark of the English settlements for more then 40 years until the Mason Dixon line was surveyed between 1763 and 1767. Everything west of the Stone was considered the frontier.
