the story of studly brewing
“If we won the lottery, I’m going to open up a brewery,” Blake Edmunds would often tell his wife, Kristin, after one of his longer days in the office. Blake thought about that phrase often and wondered does it take winning the lottery to open a brewery?
In January of 2020, Blake decided to find out how to turn his homebrew hobby into a career and began reading up on what it would take to pursue his dream. Next thing you know, Blake is in Montrose, Colorado during the summer of 2021 learning from a mentor and industry legend, Tom Hennessey, and his crew on how to successfully open his own 7-barrel brewpub serving craft pizzas and salads. Soon after that, Blake hung up his fifteen-year career in collegiate athletics and minor league baseball, packed up the family in Columbia, SC and moved back to his hometown of Chesapeake, VA to pursue opening Chesapeake’s next brewery.
Studly Brewing got its name from the self-given name that Blake’s childhood friends gave each other, The Studly Club – a rag tag group of guys that attended Hickory High School and played Little League together. All of which are still very close friends till this day and many of whom still live in Chesapeake. Studly Brewing pays homage to those friendships and the bond sports gave them growing up. Along with Blake’s experience working in sports, Studly Brewing will be a tasteful nod to America’s pastime, baseball, and will have many similarities of a minor league team: a family-friendly, light-hearted fun time.
⚾ MEET BLACK BETSY! 🖤🍇
Stepping up to the plate TODAY is our newest release, Black Betsy Blackberry Vanilla Sour!
Named after Shoeless Joe Jackson’s legendary baseball bat, Black Betsy swings for the fences with juicy blackberry flavor, a refreshingly tart bite, and a smooth, subtle Madagascar vanilla finish.
Deep purple, perfectly balanced, and coming in at 5.5% ABV, this one is a real hit!
We had a blast out at the Great Bridge Baseball Golf Tournament! Of course, we had to bring a little baseball to the course with our Guess Your Speed pitching game! Plenty of competitive spirits, questionable radar gun predictions, and a whole lot of fun!

June 4, 2021 was a really tough day. That afternoon, I walked into my boss’ office at the University of South Carolina and told him I’m going to retire from college athletics. It’s still tough for me to write as I start to reminisce on all the blood, sweat, laughs,
I drive by Studley's Pub regularly and have always wanted to give it a try. A group of us old guys get together monthly and try various places throughout Chesapeake and I'm glad we picked Studleys this month. Just so happened to be on a Trivia Night (every Wednesday), so the six of us joined in the fun and found out how truly ignorant we are, although I think many of those teams are regulars. A great pizza selection to suit most appetites, to include any vegetarians who may be in your party. Not sure what beer to drink - enjoy a flight and then take in your fill at the bar or enjoy your meal at one of the many tables. Bring the family as there are many things for the kids to do. Friendly staff make for a great dining experience or just enjoy a drink at the bar!
I can’t begin to explain how awesome this place is. First off, when you walk in the area is dim lit and a perfect atmosphere. There is a kid area with toys, blocks, and little figurines. The food is good and tasted very homey. The wait time (depending on how many people you have with you) can be very long. Other than the wait time, I would recommend.
We have been coming here since this place has opened and we love it! The food, people, and beer are great! Our kids also love it because of the play area! This is a one of a kind place that frequent regularly, if you are looking for a hometown brewery, this is the place!
A fun pizza kitchen/ Brewery in Southern Chesapeake. Customer Service was fantastic. A great variety of pizzas. The beer selection is well rounded with something for everyone. Only complaint is the out door area was a little small, but this is not the breweries fault. Dogs welcome on the patio. Overall a great place. Will be returning...
Baseball themed Brewery in a strip mall right off 168 in Chesapeake.
The Saturday I was there, the place was packed with kids- must have been after sports games or there's something in the water (or beer maybe?) as the kid to adult ratio was 5 or 6 to 1.
Definitely a child-friendly brewery and for those young at heart as they hand out baseball cards to patrons. The baseball cards may have been meant as coasters, but it was pretty cool.
All I had was beer, which was good. My 4 rating is strictly scoring their beer. Their IPA Pulling Tarp was on the bland side as was their Blonde, a Brew of Their Own and their Postseason Marzen. My favorite was the In the Hole NEIPA.
Studly is definitely worth a visit if you're passing through Chesapeake like I was. The bartenders were friendly, and if you have kids, they will love it!
