About
We are a brewery, taproom, and beer garden in the Scott's Addition neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia.

Ardent Craft Ales began as a co-op in a Richmond garage, a space where we sought to create innovative beers and introduce others to historic brewing methods and beer styles. As a production brewery, our mission remains the same: to produce and celebrate exceptional and ambitious beers with the ever-growing craft beer community.

Cask at GBBF 2019. Slight suspicion that this was somehow mislabelled or such like. Dark and chocolatey but with a load of pepper. Nice enough as a sample but not something I'd want to have more of.
