Ardent Craft Ales Brewery, taproom, and beer garden in the Scott's Addition neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia.
(1708)

Ardent Craft Ales began as a co-op in a Richmond garage, a space where we sought to create innovative beers and introduce others to historic brewing methods and beer styles. As a production brewery, our mission remains the same: to produce and celebrate exceptional and ambitious beers with the ever-growing craft beer community.

🎃 We’re releasing a special Halloween treat today: Dirt Cup! Enjoy a glass while you’re bouncing around the neighborhood for the Scott’s Addition Booooooz Crawl. Grab a stamp card at any participating location, visit 6 locations to complete your card, and enter to win a gift card from your favorite neighborhood craft producer! Plus, during a special happy hour from 5:30-7:00pm, cans of Clay St. DIPA are $2 off.

🍫 Dirt Cup is a small batch pastry stout aged on cookies and cream and finished with a gummy worm garnish! This one starts out sweet with notes of chocolate pudding, buttercream frosting, and toasted marshmallow, then balances out nicely with a mellow dark chocolate finish. Super small batch, draft only, get it while you can!

🔥 Barrel Aged Winter Ale is a brand new variant of our base Winter Ale we're releasing for the first time today!

🦬 After resting a full year in Buffalo Trace barrels, this b**r picks up layers of warm cinnamon and clove, brightened by a hint of orange zest. The bourbon barrel adds a gentle sweetness and a velvety body, making it remarkably smooth and easy to sip.

🏎️ Our next Formula 1 watch party of the season returns this weekend!

We’re taking advantage of some afternoon start times to show a couple upcoming races in the taproom. Meet up with friends to watch the race with a b**r in hand, which sounds way more fun than home alone on the couch!

Each race is displayed on a dedicated 100” projection screen inside the taproom, so you won’t miss any of the action. This is the only thing we’re showing, no need to compete with anything else for screen time!

• Sunday, October 25 - 4:00 pm - Austin
• Sunday, November 1 - 3:00 pm - Mexico
