Väsen Brewing Company Brewery • $$
3331 W Moore St, Richmond

“Väsen Brewing Company is a standout in the Richmond craft beer scene! From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for both casual gatherings and special occasions.

The beer selection at Väsen is top-notch, with a variety of innovative and expertly crafted brews to suit every palate. Whether you're a fan of hoppy IPAs, rich stouts, or refreshing sours, you'll find something to love here. I particularly enjoyed their unique and flavorful seasonal offerings, which showcase their creativity and commitment to quality.

Life Pro Tip: If you find the main area crowded, head over to the spacious and comfortable outdoor seating. It's a great spot to enjoy your drink, especially on a nice day, and the vibe is just as lively and enjoyable.

The staff at Väsen Brewing are fantastic. They're knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to recommend a beer that suits your taste. Their passion for brewing is evident, and it adds to the overall experience.

The brewery itself is beautifully designed, with a blend of industrial chic and cozy touches that make it a great place to relax and unwind. The community events and live music they often host are an added bonus, making each visit unique and fun.

In summary, Väsen Brewing Company is a must-visit for anyone who loves great beer, a friendly atmosphere, and a welcoming community. Highly recommend!“

Richbrau Brewing Brewery • $$
5 S 20th St, Richmond

“Highly recommend Richbrau if you’re looking to host a private or semi-private event, or if you’re just in the neighborhood and want to drop by for a beer and some pizza in a cool space!

We recently hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner at Richbrau and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were SO friendly, helpful, and accommodating, and made sure we were well taken care of all night. We rented out the whole brewery - highly recommend, it was affordable and so fun to have the whole place to ourselves. The vibe inside is fantastic, and we were lucky with great weather to be able to open the big front doors so it was a lovely indoor/outdoor situation. Kiddos loved the board and table games and watching the trains roll by from out front. The beer was great as usual and the food was delicious - we love the pizza here!!! Enjoyed the apps, too. Super easy process working with them to book and plan the event. Thank you Richbrau!“

Bryant's Cider & Brewery Brewery • $$

“Been a regular of Bryant’s for about a year. Every experience I have had has been chill and I felt very comfortable with the bartenders and vibe very quickly. They specialize in brut dry cider with a great selection of different flavors. They have options for people who prefer a sweeter cider. There is ways to spruce it up. Yummy cider daiquiris in the summer. I loved Bryant’s so much since my move to Richmond I just recently was hired on as a bartender. This place made me wanna stay. Definitely recommend to anyone who loves cider and a good atmosphere with a cool aesthetic 🖤“

Go straight out onto stony, turn left on government rd and it takes you to Broad street. It is a little tight and gas stop signs but it's way better than trying to make a lot of turns in traffic“

“Terrific staff and beer as always. New set up is terrible. Nobody wants to have a full service brewery. Nobody wants to have to reserve a table. Please go back to original set up. let us sit where we want. order a beer when we want. If we want full service we will go to the restaurant side. This may work at the other locations, but Richmond isn't Charlottesville. This was our goto brewery, today's has us thinking differently now“
