Description
Rip Rap Brewing is a small microbrewery in Norfolk, VA. It was born out of a brewing passion by ‘Liam, who started homebrewing while still serving in the Coast Guard. With the help of another Coastie, Ben, Rip Rap Brewing Co opened in April of 2016. Since then, the tasting room has expanded from four beers on tap to more than double that, started distributing beers to a small number of bars and restaurants in the local area, and has participated in a variety of beer festivals. Rip Rap is always looking for new styles of beer to bring to the ever rotating taps in the tasting room.
