Earl Grey Brown Ale

Saturday, January 18, 12-10pm

Earl Grey Brown Ale is back! This annual tradition is a collaboration beer between Ardent Craft Ales and Potter's Craft Cider, and we're bringing it back for the 6th year in a row on Saturday, January 18.

For this release, we're throwing an all-day party and featuring four different Potter’s ciders on tap in Ardent's taproom! Plus, Zorch Pizza will be back in the beer garden cooking up their awesome pizzas all day.

Earl Grey Brown Ale is a classic, malt-forward English brown ale brewed with Rostov's Earl Grey tea. Fragrant citrus aromatics complement flavors of black tea and bergamot in this balanced, light-bodied beer.

6.5% ABV • 20 IBU

Available on draft in the taproom beginning Saturday
Available in 4-packs of 12 oz. bottles to go beginning Sunday

Please note that due to the special ABC permit required to sell alcohol produced by another manufacturer, we will not be able to sell any beer to-go on Saturday. Earl Grey 4-packs and all the rest of our usual packaged products will be available again beginning Sunday.

POTTER’S CIDERS

Farmhouse Dry (8.5%)
Pale gold and effervescent with pronounced fruit aroma hinting of peach and melon. Bright acidity with aromatic intensity from Gold Rush, Albemarle Pippin, and Old Virginia Winesap apples.

Strawberry Ginger (6.9%)
The flavor and aroma from ripe strawberries balances the tart acidity of an aromatic blend of Virginia apples with the lively spice of fresh ginger. It is bright, fruit forward and flavorful with zero grams of residual sugar.

Flemish Sour (9%)
The Flemish Sour starts with a blend of fresh-pressed Virginia apples inoculated with the famous Roeselare yeast blend. This yeast, which is traditionally used in the production of Flemish Red Ales, is so named for the town of Roselare in Belgium and home to the famed Rodenbach Brewery that is credited with the creation of this wonderful yeast. The cider is fermented and aged in French oak barrels. It then receives a hefty dose of tart Montmorency cherries, adding a definitively tart, fruity note to this dry, funky cider.

Highland (9%)
This Goldrush single varietal cider is aged in Virginia Highland Malt Whisky barrels from Virginia Distillery Company. The bright, acidic fruit character is balanced with aromas of vanilla, caramelized sugar, and a light smokiness reminiscent of single malt scotch.

Cleaning day

ardentcraftales A clean brewery is a happy brewery, and we regularly scrub down every inch of the brewhouse to prevent any risk of contamination or infection. We work hard to develop, brew, and package the best beer possible, and cleaning is a huge part of that process!

Old Molasses Ale: history, science & beer!

Ardent Craft Ales and the John Marshall House, a Preservation Virginia historic site, are teaming up for a weekend of history, science, and beer!

Friday, September 21
Ardent Craft Ales
3200 W Leigh St, Richmond, VA

Saturday, September 22
John Marshall House
818 E Marshall St, Richmond, VA

We brewed a special historical beer to celebrate John Marshall’s birthday. Plus, we’re excited for the opportunity to extract yeast from a bottle of Madeira that’s remained preserved in the John Marshall House cellar for hundreds of years, and hopefully use it to brew a modern day beer using the same historical strain!

First, join us in the taproom at 4 p.m. on Friday, September 21, when we’ll introduce our latest pilot brew: Old Molasses Ale. This beer was based on a recipe from John Marshall’s cousin, Mary Randolph, that she brewed in the late 1700s and featured a late addition of molasses in the boil. Representatives from the John Marshall House will also be on hand.

On Saturday, September 22, Ardent heads downtown for a day of history, science, and beer! We’ll be serving Old Molasses Ale at the John Marshall House, which is opening up its doors for free admission to mark Time Travelers Weekend. In addition to touring the house and learning about John Marshall, keep an eye out for scientists demonstrating how we hope to capture yeast from bottles of Madeira that have been preserved in the cellar.

The John Marshall House will be open 10am-5pm on Saturday:

12:00: Presentation & discussion with historical brewer Danny Fain
1:00: Scientific demonstration of extracting yeast from corked bottle
2:00: Presentation & discussion with historical brewer Danny Fain
3:00: Scientific demonstration of extracting yeast from corked bottle

John Marshall, a Richmond native, was the longest-serving Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and is largely responsible for establishing the modern influence of the court. He was also quite fond of Madeira, a Portuguese wine that he shared enthusiastically with friends at his Richmond home.
