Have You RSVPed To Hardywood’s Anniversary Party?
Hardywood’s First Anniversary Party is this Saturday October 27th. So far the Facebook event has only 300 people attending plus another hundred maybes. I think those numbers are a lot lower than they should be. Out of the 7593 people that like Hardywood on Facebook, only 400 know they might want to be there to celebrate one year?
Come on Richmond, you voted them the best local brewery on Richmond.com. Yes, the current weather forecast is mostly rain and clouds but how many times have you known what looked like it would be a crappy day turn into a gorgeous day for being outside drinking beer.
Maybe you can’t make Saturday at all. Then you should know Hardywood has extended the celebration to three days starting with tonight’s Fall Food Truckober Festival. Attendance looks low on this as well but the awesome weather we have been having these past few nights will continue today. Yes, I know we are in the middle of restaurant week; even I had a hard time choosing between the two options. With the food truck court extending into the next parking lot and a beer truck onsite, I think this will be where I end up most likely eating some Dixie Chicken.
Update with draft list from Hardywood:
Barleywine aged 16 weeks on 18 year old Bowman’s “Abraham Bourbon Barrels”….
Hoplar aged 14 weeks on 18 year old Bowman’s “Abraham Bourbon Barrels”
Milk Stout aged on 6 weeks on 4 year old Bowman’s bourbon barrels.
Pretty In Pink Saison, a collaboration between brewer Rachael Cardwell and Lost Rhino Brewing Co.
Raspberry Stout with vanilla
Farmhouse Pumpkin Ale
Hardywood Singel
Saison Rustica
Belgian DIPA
Brian’s Barrel Blend No. 1
**We are only able to offer growler fills on Hardywood Singel and Saison Rustica today and tomorrow. Take home any Hardywood draft in a single serving mason jar!**
If that’s not enough, Firkin Friday has been turned into an epic night of fundraising for Nectar’s OnBoard Project and Justin Caskey, a local two time cancer survivor, amputee, and athlete. They will be raffling off gift packs from sponors such as Hardywood, Boka Tako, Lady Nawlins, Olio, City Dogs and more.
Okay Richmond, with three nights to choose from, I hope I see the 7593 Hardywood lovers come out in force. Go ahead and RSVP while you’re at it.

Terrapin Tap Takeover At The Roosevelt
What could be more exciting than Lee Gregory’s food at The Roosevelt? How about a beer event at The Roosevelt? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think they need to have events with the amazing food that flows out of that kitchen. It is just cool that they sometimes do.
Tonight, September 20th, ride over to The Roosevelt for a tap takeover with Terrapin Beer Company. Terrapin rep Ranger will be hanging out for the evening with glassware to give away. Here are the beers they will be tapping:
All American Imperial Pilsner
Hop Karma (Brown IPA)
Hopsecutioner IPA (American IPA)
Easy Rider (Hoppy Session Ale)
Rye Pale Ale

Meet up with Ranger for a little Georgia beer and grab a bite from Lee.
