About
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.

25/12/2019. Bottle from Crafty Fellas enjoyed Christmas Morning. Pours thick black with a rich tan coloured head. Aroma of roasted coffee, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, malt, dried fruit, lactose and light ashy notes. Medium sweetness, light roasted bitterness. Full bodied, slick texture, soft carbonation. Very nice.

Cork and caged 750ml bottle, shared with my son and son-in-law on 23rd Dec 2019. Black bodied, slick and oily, tanned head. The list on the label tells the truth! It has a taste and aroma that has Gingerbread, honey, bourbon, vanilla and cinnamon. My sweet tooth really took to it. Most likely too sweet for some.
