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.

Draft pour at Novemberfest 2014. Poured a clear copper color with a small white head. Aroma was nice ginger notes, sweet malt. Flavor was a seriously powerful ginger one - shaved ginger. Very tasty for people who enjoy ginger. Very nice. Tasty. Girlfriend loved it - definitely a "Julie beer" here.

Cherry, apricot, lemon zest, and funk nose. Clear amber, thin head. Apricot, pear, and must flavor. Alcohol pretty noticeable, medium body. Strong, fruity. I prefer, lighter, funky, and herbal. Good, though.
