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.

Draft pour at Dominion Wine & Beer. Poured a pale, almost yellow color with a medium-small white head. Aroma was very light grain, clean, very mild grassy notes. Very easy to drink. Enjoyable, crisp and refreshing.
