RVA Beer Explorer: Apple, Week, Ginger, Cask 3, Untapped

BOULEVARD UNTAPPED

Not much information on the Facebook event page for Boulevard Untapped. We know it’s happening Saturday at the Diamond from 12-6 PM. There will be craft beer, food, music but no word on that super rare beer or that awesome band.

GINGERBREAD MAN COMETH

This will probably the most controversial stand we ever take here at RVA Hub. I think the hype and praise for Hardywood’s Gingerbread Stout is overblown. It’s a good beer but the degree to which some Richmonders go nuts for the beer is disproportionate to the greatness of the beer.

That being said if you go Hardywood Gingerbread Stout release I wouldn’t mind a bottle or two.

‘Tis the season for Hardywood Gingerbread Stout! Our brewery release will begin at 1PM on Saturday, Nov. 5 with free live music in the evening from Andrew Leahey & the Homestead, Photosynthesizers & Zep Replica!

Enjoy mobile menus from Slideways Mobile Bistro, Sammich, de Rochonnet delights Chocolatier, BoDillaz, Hungry Turtle Food Truck, Boka Tako Truckand Sugarbella’s Handcrafted Popcorn. We are also thrilled to introduce our seasonal flavor collaboration with Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches: Gingerbread Stout!

More information is on the way including bottle limits, distribution plans and details about our GBS pre-release bottle sale on Friday, Nov. 4!

CASK TURNS THREE
