Hardywood Park Craft Brewery
5 mins
Hardywood Park officially began its mission to brew with purpose in late 2011 as one of only two craft breweries in the city of Richmond. The original brewhouse and taproom was a vacant warehouse discovered in a long-forgotten neighborhood known nearly a century prior as Richmond’s German Brewing District. I love them for their seasonal Gingerbread Stout as well as their insanely delicious, classic Richmond Lager.

The Veil Brewery in Scott’s Addition focuses on hop-forward ales, high-gravity barrel aging, and spontaneous fermentation. It was named one of the “most-hyped breweries in America right now” by Gear Patrol in 2019. You’ll always find something new, delicious, and very interesting.

Isley Brewing opened in 2013 and was one of the first breweries in Richmond’s Scott’s Addition neighborhood. To this day, founding brewer, Josh Stamps, is still brewing up award-winning beers with his “artisan” approach to brewing. If you visit the taproom, make sure to get yourself a pour of their award-winning (locally beloved) peanut butter porter.

Starr Hill was originally founded in 1999 in a music hall in Charlottesville. Their newest location in Richmond’s Scott’s Addition neighborhood is quite unique. Working with a custom 10-barrel brewing system, Starr Hill also features five American white oak foeders and serves as the brewery’s first location dedicated to producing wild ales.
