Ardent Craft Ales: Tonight, Tomorrow, And Next Friday
Ardent Craft Ales is on a roll these days and its sure to increase with the weather getting nicer and their beautiful patio. Here are a few things you should try and check out.
Friday April 3rd
Head down to Station 2 tonight at 5pm as they tap a special cask conditioned pin of Sour Porter. This pin was created in the effort of duplicating a 150 year old recipe when porters were thought to be sour.
These other beers will be on tap as well:
Saison
Session IPL
IPA Batch #10
Touchstone Pale Wheat Ale (Triple Crossings collab)

Ardent’s first outdoor festival will feature The Roosevelt, Metzger Bar and Butchery, Saison and ZZQ cooking and grilling whole hogs, a slew of other pork cuts, and sides. Rappahannock River Oysters will also join the festivities with their delicious oysters (I’m hoping for some fried!) and crab cakes. King Of Pops – Richmond will be there with plenty of desserts to help cool down your Friday afternoon.
Tickets are $18/person and include two tickets redeemable for food or beer as well as a Swine & Brine t-shirt.
All beers and food items will cost one ticket ($5) with the exception of crab cakes from Rappahannock (2 tickets) and King of Pops who will accept cash or credit cards. Guests will be given two tickets as part of their admission, and can purchase additional tickets via cash or credit card at check-in or once inside the event. Free water will be provided at stations around the festival.
If all of this hasn’t gotten you excited, then maybe this list of fifteen beers will.

Once again it is time to celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day today Friday September 19th. Of course, Heavy Seas is up in the mix but this year they have raised the stakes by attempting to set the record for the largest simultaneous cask tapping in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Making its first debut outside of Heavy Seas’ taproom, the firkin to be tapped at several locations up and down the East Coast will be Loose Cannon IPA with grapefruit zest.
The Richmond area boasts two locations on the list: Hurley’s Tavern and Southern Railway Taphouse. Beyond the firkin tappings, you can expect many give-a-ways for including t-shirts, eye patches, stickers, temporary tattoos, and a backdrop for pictures.
Southern Railway will also have a live pirate show.
Head over to the Virginia ITLAPD Facebook event for more information and updates. The parties start at 5pm with cask tappings at 6pm.
