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 25. Aroma has light malts with a citrus edge. Hazy light gold. Translucent white foamy head sticks to the rim. A citrusy tang. Light malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Decent enough.
