Today, Devils Backbone Brewing Company is the largest craft brewery in Virginia and is one of the most award-winning breweries in the country. In honor of his legacy, Anheuser-Busch is making a donation of $30,000 in his name to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources. He also helped form the Virginia Craft Brewers Guild and was a builder, who founded Tectonics II Custom Homes with his father in 1982. A former Brewers Association board of directors member, Crandall chaired the association’s market development committee during his time on the board. In Honor of Founder Steve CrandallĬrandall was a leader, philanthropist, outdoorsman and craft beer pioneer whose efforts to lobby for legislation helped transform the brewery and the craft beverage industry into the movement you see today. We at Ivy Life & Style Media and Wine & Country Life would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Crandall family for the passing of Devils Backbone Brewing Company’s founder Steve Crandall, as well as express how thankful we are for his influence in the growth of Virginia’s craft beverage industry.
