We've got not one, but TWO beers returning to the taproom this Thursday: IPL & Dry-Hopped Session Saison.
Ardent's IPL is a dry-hopped India Pale Lager. This beer offers big aromatics of tropical fruits and citrus from the Mosaic & Citra dry hop and pours a golden straw color. The medium body leads into tropical flavors with slight malt sweetness and herbal bitterness. Finishes clean, crisp, and light. ● 4.6% ABV ● 25 IBU
Available on draft
4-packs of 12 oz. bottles to go
Dry-Hopped Session Saison combines a dry saison base with a juicy flavor thanks to a generous dry hop addition of Chinook and Huell Melon hops. The saison yeast provides classic spicy notes and crisp finish, while the hops promote tropical, pineapple flavors and aroma in a sessionable, effervescent beer. ● 4.5% ABV ● 19 IBU

Crowler/growler fills to go

Guest taps will feature a variety of breweries from within Richmond, around Virginia, and out of state. We’ll announce specific breweries in the coming weeks, but trust us, you’re going to want to save the date.
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 soda, juice, and water 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!
Have you tried our freshest Hazy IPA yet? We dry hopped our latest batch with a ton of Mosaic and Azacca hops for big tropical fruit and citrus flavor and aroma. Hazy IPA always features a low carb, soft mouthfeel alongside minimal bitterness.
We're excited to participate in this year's annual Maymont Beer & Wine Classic presented by the Dooley Noted Society on Friday, May 4! Guests can sample some of Virginia’s finest beverages from 20 local breweries (including Ardent) and wineries, all while enjoying delicious food and live music from Three Sheets To The Wind, "America's #1 Tribute to Yacht Rock."
Schwarzbier is a sessionable dark German lager with a slightly chocolaty, roasted aroma. Medium bodied, with a crisp, clean mouthfeel. Subtle malt flavors are balanced by moderate hop bitterness, followed by a pleasantly roasty finish. Winner of the gold medal in the Darker European Beer category at the 2016 Virginia Craft Beer Cup.
