Richmond’s Oldest Craft Brewery
in Scott’s Addition

Ardent Craft Ales has been brewing beer in Richmond, Virginia since 2014.

We started as a homebrew co-op in a Church Hill garage and grew into one of Richmond’s most established craft breweries.

Our taproom and beer garden in the Scott’s Addition neighborhood are open seven days a week, with a rotating draft list spanning IPAs, lagers, saisons, stouts, and seasonal releases. We serve our own food menu and welcome outside food from neighbors like Eazzy Burger and ZZQ. Dogs are welcome in the beer garden, kids are welcome everywhere, and free parking is available behind the brewery.
