ABOUT

"Helltown" is the colonial nickname given to Front Royal, Virginia (then known as The Royal Front). It is a town in the Shenandoah Valley where my folks moved about 20 years ago. My brother and I brewed up a batch of beer there and called it Helltown Beer. The beer lives on in the form of this site - honest sports writing that doesn't prop up any organization. Creative freedom, analysis, critical thinking is what we do here. As for the actual beer? They say the beer was good. Really good. Legend has it that there is still more but it is buried deep in a blue ridge... somewhere. - Larry
