Fifth Anniversary Block Party

We’re so excited to celebrate our fifth anniversary with you, RVA! We’re shutting down Leigh Street to throw a massive block party featuring guest breweries, Ardent beers, live music, and food trucks!

Guest taps will feature a variety of breweries from within Richmond, around Virginia, and out of state, as well as cider and mead.

Plus, we’ll be releasing a special anniversary beer to mark the occasion!

Best of all, our anniversary party is FREE to enter! Beverage tickets will cost $6 per pour, while food vendors will handle their own sales individually. We’ll also have water, soda, juice, and iced coffee available.

We’re going to keep the party going rain or shine! Kids & families welcome, 21+ to consume alcohol. No outside food, beverages, or coolers will be permitted. Friendly dogs are welcome as long as they remain leashed!

Anniversary beer release
Ardent's 5th Anniversary Sour IPA is a hop-forward blend of stainless and barrel conditioned ales. Hopped with Citra and Mosaic, then fermented with two strains of Brettanomyces as well as our house sour culture, this beer is a perfect blend of tart funkiness and hoppy aroma and flavor.
7.1% ABV • 35 IBU

Guest beers

The beer schedule is finalized, plan your Saturday accordingly! We’ll be tapping a new batch of guest beers every hour to spread them across the afternoon. Our full lineup of Ardent beers, as well as cider and mead, will be available all day.
