Description
With a nod to those who came before, Richbrau Brewing in Shockoe Bottom rises within the most historic area of Richmond. The land from 18th Street to 25th Street and from the banks of the James River to Broad Street is the original settlement of Richmond founded in 1737.

Where we are is part of who we are. With a love for RVA and a passion for adventurous brewing, we celebrate our history by creating enticing recipes with names inspired by intriguing local lore.

Stop by, sit back, and experience the flavor in a glorious mash-up of past & present.
