Description
Hardywood officially began its mission to brew with purpose in late 2011 as one of only two craft breweries in the city of Richmond. Our original brewhouse and taproom was a vacant warehouse discovered in a long-forgotten neighborhood known nearly a century prior as Richmond’s German Brewing District. Hardywood has been drawing new life to this forgotten area one draft pour at a time. We now operate a 20-barrel brewhouse and taproom in the original location, as well as a 60-barrel brewhouse and destination brewery in the West Creek area of Richmond, right on the border of Goochland County.
Today, Hardywood continues to develop and deliver on its mission with a sharp focus on brewing quality, sourcing local, environmental stewardship, community engagement, and giving back.

Can from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours dark brown with a huge creamy darkish tan head. Chocolate wafts from the pour. Med plus body. It's not dry, but not really very sweet. Bitter, seemingly from chocolate. Flavor is chocolate quickly followed by lots of vanilla. Lactose is discernible. Malt? I suppose. Smooth. A little earthy towards the finish. Much better than expected.

Can from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours dark brown with a nice creamy dark tan head. Aroma of mixed spices with a lactose note. Approaching full body. Not dry, but not sticky. Mixed spices, burnt caramel, and something that could be burnt sugar from marshmallows. Not working great for me.
