Immerse yourself in the excitement of Richmond, Virginia’s thriving craft beer scene’and learn all about beer styles and the brewing process from your guide’on this private, half-day tour. Meet your guide in central Richmond for a tutored tasting before setting off in your comfortable, air-conditioned minibus. You’ll visit three highlight breweries, will enjoy generous tastings at each, and will go behind-the-scenes at one to learn more about the brewing process.
At The Veil, we’ll get to sample three beers from a pioneer in certain brewing techniques in Richmond! About Legend:
The Veil opened in 2018 after the head brewer did brewing stints in Virginia, New England, and Belgium. They were the first to use a koelship and spontaneous fermentation in Richmond, and remain among the most process-focused breweries you’ll find anywhere.
Inside The Veil, you’ll find a unique Japanese pub fare concept, Nokoribi. During your tour, you’ll sample some popular items from the menu in addition to the beer tastings.

At Väsen, we’ll sample up to three of their unique beers! About Väsen Brewing:
The Swedish word “väsen” honors our Scandinavian heritage and translates as one’s inner essence or way of being. At Väsen Brewing Company, brewing is about creating and appreciating something greater than yourself. Our beer is a medium through which we express ourselves and our appreciation for our environment. We brew to inspire others to chase the things they love.
Väsen beers combine the experimental spirit that defines American craft beer with the rustic and funky flavors of Belgian farmhouse and sour ales.

At Ardent, we’ll get to taste 2-3 of their award-winning beers, in at least two different styles. About Ardent:
Ardent Craft Ales began in 2010 as a garage-based co-op in Church Hill started by two friends who just wanted to learn more about making beer. Their audience grew month over month until they began to think seriously about opening a commercial brewery. After months of planning, fundraising, and renovating, Ardent’s Scott’s Addition location opened in 2014. The Ardent Saison is a crowd-favorite that’s always on tap, and the Earl Grey Brown Ale makes a unique and tasty choice.
