Hardywood Park Craft Brewery
Hardywood’s mission is to brew with purpose. This charge comes alive in thoughtfully innovative recipes, a commitment to using local ingredients and an obsession over quality. Beers range in style from traditional to experimental, but there’s a story behind each one. Hardywood is deeply dedicated to minimizing its environmental impact. All power is sourced from renewable energy, and recycled packaging and sustainable materials are used whenever possible. Founded in Richmond, Virginia, by lifelong friends, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery has been soulfully brewing beer since 2011. Today, Hardywood operates a brewery and taproom in Richmond as well as a pilot brewery and taproom in Charlottesville. In early 2018, Hardywood opened their new $28M West Creek brewing facility and beer campus, just west of Richmond. Hardywood beers have earned international acclaim with medals at the World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival as well as a rare 100 rating by BeerAdvocate Magazine. Hardywood beers are currently distributed domestically throughout Virginia and Washington, D.C., – and soon, Atlanta and Raleigh-Durham, as well as in selective international markets.
