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.

Pours chunky gold into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet hot coconut sugar cookie aromas. Thick with sweet cinnamon, vanilla and coconut upfront turning to dirty fruit skin and bitter apple in the lasting finish. Aftertaste is nasty.

OK, its been over 10 years since I had a beer from hollywood. This one comes in a stubby bottle and I drank it right out of the bottle just for kicks. I can see its simple clear pale looking thru the glass. Mild slight pine hops nose. First big swig is beefy IPA: Large and in charge resentful aggrieved disgruntled grudge-bearing straight up bitter hops, terribly on style. Middle is unkind unpleasant unfriendly inconsiderate and uncharitably rude, just like most well made IPA. Has quite a kick, surprised its not styled as a double or impy IPA, whew. Near the end its getting a little boozy; I'm glad, maybe it will take my mind off it abominable disposition. Has decent low level co2 throughout the session. Yes, if you like IPA, put this on yer bucket list, I bet a fresh bottle or draft will satisfy your yearning. I'll give it an extra point overall for the cute little stubby bottle.

16oz can, from Trader Joe's. Poured a pitch black, motor oil color with a small off-white head. Seeing the 9.2% abv, I think this is the same base beer that they use for the GBS. Aroma is light cream, sweet sugar notes. Vanilla. Pretty tasty actually, just about nailed the Joe-Joe flavor. Smooth.
