25 Best Craft Breweries in Richmond

“The food truck outside was superb. Food was beyond of this world“

“I’ve been a member for just over 10 years. Don’t miss this incredible cidery that is pure Richmond culture. Come for a flight or a growler. Try the frozen ciders and special cocktails. Membership is a great way to get first crack at all the special new ciders. Perfect for people who want a drier, more nuanced cider than the bubbly apple juice cider you get at the grocery store.“

“My favorite brewery in Richmond. Great staff, chill vibes- love that the crowd leans older than 20s, love all the rotating food trucks, great beer and N/A options, arcade games, great live music. What’s not to love?! Final is an amazing community hub for Lakeside.“

“Richbrau Brewing is one of Richmond's hidden gems. The brewery is clean, welcoming, and packed with local history that gives it a unique atmosphere. The beers are well-crafted, crisp, and full of flavor, with something for every beer lover. If you're looking for a great place to enjoy quality beer while soaking in a little Richmond history, this is definitely worth the visit.“

“Trivia Night. Made it through Dragons & Fictional Places; was thoroughly disappointed in myself & hubby. In our defense we were a team of 2 everyone else had 6 + teammates. The food was so yummy. Great place.“

“Atmosphere beverages staff“

“Ninja is an incredibly unique and incredibly great tasting kombucha. I’ve lived many places in Virginia, and this is the best one I’ve had. I even prefer it over Health Ade, Forage, Rowdy Mermaid and Dr. Brew (I’ve tried a bunch). The owner pays particular attention to the formulation, making it so much better than those others I’ve tried. With many unique flavors in its line, I highly recommend!“

“Amazing place. Parking is a task, so is everything downtown. Totally recommend“

“IPAs! Sours! Stouts! Hefeweizen! Cider! Kombucha! The products offered are vibrant, the quality of the beer is excellent, and the flavors are distinct -- they're not overdone. Rather, the products are clean and crisp. The vibe is industrial, with glass, metal, exposed brick. The decor has a Scandinavian sensibulity and is relaxing. I like it here. The outdoor seating is plentiful, with a great mix of people.“

“We love the mead, the staff and the atmosphere!“

“Loved it! Perfect atmosphere and drinks for families with kids“

“Been a favorite brewery of ours since the beginning. Always have a great beer selection no matter what type of beer you like and Proven Theory may be the best IPA on the planet!“

“Really good selection of stouts. Comfortable atmosphere.“

“Bike and hiking trail next to brewery. Lots of parking and seating.“

“Their beer is amazing, especially if you love IPAs. Their staff is always lovely. The downtown location is our go to place for the laid back vibe and the servers. Thanks for being awesome!“

“When we arrived the first floor was loud and had a brunch event going on. The bartender was great about coming over to us and greeting us at the door. He explained our seating options. Helped us choose our drink orders. He was incredibly helpful. We sat upstairs on the outside seating deck since it was quieter. The shade helped. There was a bar upstairs as well. There is food available. The parking was street parking. Would go back again.“

“We came here prior to going to an outdoor concert. Great beer, great space both indoors and out. Super friendly staff. Pizza was delicious“

“Our favorite brewery patio. Harris the Westie loves it, always doggies there. Great beer, tasty food, great cross-section of the city.“

“If you are into beer this is the answer. Seriously though, they make incredible beers, BUT they also have unbelievable guest taps. I mean the best of the best. Food is solid, but come for the beer. If you can’t find something on tap you love here you just aren’t trying very hard.“

“we are here now and there is live music and the beer is great! we love that our dog is able to join us inside! we will DEFINITELY come back again!“

“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“

“This place slaps. Excellent lagers, fun seasonal releases, vibes for days. Anthony who runs bingo, will put a smile on any face. As a beer tourist and out-of-towner, I would send anyone here for a good time and great pint.“
