And this one is still relatively new, not quite a year old, and it has a location right here in Bridgeport.

You may have visited the Morgantown location of Mountain State Brewing Company, but their roots are in the heart of Thomas in Tucker County.
Owners continue to grow throughout the state and even beyond.
The Bridgeport location is tucked behind Jerry Dove Drive in Bridgeport off exit 124 on I-79.
"Wood fire. In West Virginia, everybody camps," said Cato Caton, the general manager. "Everybody goes out to campgrounds and you're cooking off wood."
They have two wood-fired ovens that can cook their delicious flatbreads in less than 10 minutes. They start stretching the dough and tossing it in the air. They use fresh ingredients and pop it in the oven. They use it for way more than just pizza.
"We cook all of our pork, all of our chicken," said Caton. "We do a corned beef brisket that we slow cook and obviously our flatbread pizzas are wood fired as well."
The original idea started with two friends, just having fun, when they decided to make their own beer.
"Turned out people actually liked their beer," Caton said.
That's when Mountain State Brewing was born in the mountains of Tucker County.
"Thomas is 3,000 feet as far as the elevation, so it runs downstream," Caton said. "So they actually use the waters from the mountains of West Virginia in every single one of our beers."
They've expanded to Morgantown, Deep Creek Lake, and Bridgeport.
