Swine & Brine

  • Ardent Craft Ales 3200 West Leigh St. Richmond, VA USA (map)

Swine & Brine is returning to Ardent for a celebration of pork, seafood, and, of course, beer!

Join us on Saturday, April 26 for a local food feast, with a focus on oysters, pork dishes, and creative sides, along with beer, cider, and sparkling wine.

Local restaurant lineup:

🍺 We’ll have our full lineup of Ardent beers available in the taproom and in a second beer truck, as well as local cider and Cava Spanish sparkling wine.

Non-alcoholic options including soda, water, and seltzer will also be available.

Swine & Brine is open to the public, free to enter, family friendly, rain or shine! Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome on the patio, but pets are not permitted inside the taproom.

🎟️ Drink tickets will be available for purchase by cash or card. Food vendors will each run their own point of sale.

All oyster shells are being recycled through the Virginia Oyster Shell Recycling Program, which supports Chesapeake Bay restoration by building oyster sanctuaries.

Parking may be limited throughout Scott’s Addition, so consider planning alternate transportation, and please don’t drink and drive!
