Description
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 2015, day 1 - London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Moderately dank aroma, with notes of ripe citrus and pine. Medium sweet flavor, oily, lightly boozy, with pine and papaya coming through. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Resinous and oily on the finish, with more ripe citrus fruits. Good.
