25 Best Craft Breweries in Richmond

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

“One of our favorite cideries! Nice to have really good ones in your home town. We're members of their cider club and were there for a club event - cider cocktails. Excellent presentation by Kenzie with very creative cider based interpretations of popular cocktails. Great ciders, great events, great facilities, and great folks! Recently began carrying a variety of local wines (for those who just can't break the habit....). Highly recommend these unique craft cider makers.“

“Atmosphere beverages staff“

“My favorite place to grab beers 🍻.

They have events throughout the year with more brewed options, especially around holidays. Often accompanied with some awesome live music.

Food trucks nearby on weekends.

Great vibes awesome people. 🔥🔥“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Really good selection of stouts. Comfortable atmosphere.“

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

“Nice-looking space with some outdoor seating on nice days. Not the craziest selection of beers but I really appreciate their lagers and light beers, saying that as someone who typically likes a good stout. I thought the pizza was just okay, but the pretzel was very good and I inhaled it before I could take a picture 😦 Very happy to have this brewery within walking distance!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“
