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.

Short pour at brewery. Hazy yellow, straw color, skimpy head. Fruity, citrusy aroma, grapefruit and lemon. Taste is all of the astringency of grapefruit and lemon peels, not overdone, but Obliterating anything else.

Half pour at brewery. Light citrusy aroma, malty, lemon. Taste brings a sharp citric bitterness, and that's about it. Overall decent, but didn't knock my socks off.
