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.

Bottle. Love nose of peaches, white wine, light spice. Clear, bright gold with a low head. Sweet, juicy peach flavor, wine, some oak, some lactic creamy tartness. Dry finish with peach and citrus notes. Lovely stuff.

Crisp, ever so-slightly hazy golden and barely copper coloured body with a tint of deeper orange, all with a relatively thin one to two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of juice, grass, herbs, perfume and a good deal of citrus fruits with a glimmer of tropical fruit notes, too. Medium to almost Full-bodied; Deep juicy and fruity flavours show at first with oranges, mangoes, pineapple and a dash of stone fruits, all with a nice malt backbone with some dryness and a very complex fruit flavour that lasts long. Aftertaste is very robust with a fruity bite, showing a good deal of fructose, apricot, peach, orange, mango and especially white grape juice flavours, all on top of a very smooth and rich malt backbone with a light dry quality and a bite from the resin and astringent alcohol on the end. Overall, a nice, very juicy, but incredibly deep, pungent, robust and rich hazy-ish IPA with good fruit flavours and a lot of malts, as well. Good to sample this one, well-recommended and better to have super-fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 10-July-2020 for US$4,31 sampled at my house here in Washington just six days later on 16-July-2020.

Bottle from Beer52. Lightly hazed gold with a white head and a fine but prickly fizz. Tastes of straw and yeast and coriander seed and a little lemon. Sweetish with a slightly dry finish. Maybe a bit watery, but crisp and clean and pretty drinkable. Kind of a pale ale/Belgian beer hybrid. Decent enough.

750ml bottle from Tavour. Near black pour, small beige head fades to ring. Boozy aroma, sweet, chocolate. Booziness fades in the taste allowing more of the raspberry notes to surface. Roast malts and chocolate round it out. A little warmth at the end. Pairing it up with some fresh raspberries from my neighbor. Nice!

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is cardboard, yeasty. Taste is fruity, soggy grain, bland finish. The import did not do this well.

Poured a near pitch black color with a small tan head. Velvet pour. Aroma was a powerful note of rum, spice notes. Flavor was roasted notes. Smooth tasting, roast, sweet, dry finish. Creamy. Chocolate malts. Milk. Alcohol is there, but well masked. Raisin and brandy. Really solid.
