Courtney and Justin White are aiming for a spring opening of their Intermission Beer Company, a theater-inspired brew house at 10089 Brook Road.
The Whites met while in VCU’s theater program in the early 2000s, and floated in and out of the theater world. They work in IT, and in the early 2000s, Justin took up homebrewing. His hobby grew, and along the way, he and Courtney hatched the idea of a brewery that would feature their theater roots.

A common theme for Intermission is the Whites’ do-it-yourself spirit. The brewery is self-funded, and they renovated the space themselves. On opening day, Courtney said they expect to be the only two employees working the taproom.
