The Brew

The owner of a home brew retail store in Lakeside has his new brewery and taproom venture running full-speed next door.

Several local breweries brought home new additions to their trophy cabinets over the weekend after an annual craft beer competition at Devils Backbone.

The skeleton of Stone Brewing’s $74 million East Coast facility has been set up south of downtown, with work on track to open the taps in mid-2016.

Tapping into the growing growler trend, two restaurant co-workers are launching a 56-tap beer shop in a Hanover County shopping center.

The local brewery plans to start work on a 60,000-square-foot facility in a Goochland office park next December, which will push the beer brand’s capacity to more than 40,000 barrels.

While one homebrewer is taking a shot at a taproom in the suburbs, two other startups plan to boost the beer flow in the fast-growing Scott’s Addition area.

Strawberry Street Market is adding to its already expansive beer selection with plans to install 24 beer taps for growler fills.

A new meadery popped its first bottles in Scott’s Addition this week.

A Richmond brewery is expanding its universe with a distribution deal that will spread its beers to new parts of the state.

A new craft brewery is getting ready to open its Carytown tap room. And it’s bringing a local wine distributor with it into the business of beer.
