The Veil Brewing Co. named one of the nation’s best new breweries by Paste Magazine
The magazine says “…the hype is justified in this case, because The Veil is making some outlandish, exceptional beer.”
Paste Magazine released its list of the Best Breweries of 2016, and among the list of breweries across the nation recognized for their craft was The Veil Brewing Co., one of the newcomers of the burgeoning Scott’s Addition neighborhood.
The Veil has been attracting lots of regional attention for their unique brewing style, posh tasting room, unique events, and weekly can releases, and as such the recognition is well deserved. The brewery has only been open since April and has built an impressive following in a very short amount of time.
Says Paste contributor Jim Vorel:
Richmond, Virgina’s The Veil is certainly one of the very best craft beer success stories of 2016. It’s truly remarkable how fast these guys rose to national prominence and fervent hype after getting their doors open. Better yet is the fact that the hype is justified in this case, because The Veil is making some outlandish, exceptional beer. Whether it’s wild ales or perfect examples of why NE-IPA is undoubtedly 2016’s beer substyle of the year, their 16 oz cans are inspiring some feverish hunting online. We got a good example of their abilities first-hand in the blind IPA tasting, when The Veil’s Master Master Shredder Shredder made the finals, ultimately finishing #14 out of 247 beers. The ascendancy of this brewery took Richmond, which was already a very good beer destination with the likes of Triple Crossing (also an IPA finalist this year) and Hardywood Park, and made it into one of the must-visit beer cities of the East Coast. They make many different IPAs, but you can feel certain that if it’s a hoppy beer style bearing The Veil’s logo, you’re in for a treat.
