Gingerbread Stout Plus Black Hand Coffee Equals Hardywood Christmas Morning Saturday

Hardywood Christmas MorningThis year Hardywood is giving you not one, not two, but three versions of Gingerbread Stout. Well, that’s three versions as of Saturday December 13th as Hardywood releases Christmas Morning.

A blend of Brazilian and Sumatran coffee beans from Richmond’s Black Hand Coffee Co take this variation of our Gingerbread Stout to a whole new level of decadence. Christmas Morning offers layers of gingerbread flavor complimented by the smooth nuances of freshly brewed coffee. We hope you make this part of your holiday tradition in the years to come.

Christmas Morning will be available starting at 2pm in 750ml bottles (limit 4 bottles/person) and on draft in the tasting room. There will be no growler fills due to limited availability.

Enjoy live music from Cary Street Ramblers, Loversville, and Andy Vaughan and The Driveline starting at 4, 6:30, and 8pm respectively along with the return of the River City Barn Dance at 4pm.
