On Sunday, November 5th, at noon, Richmond will feel a whole lot more like Christmas. Hardywood will be releasing its insanely popular Gingerbread Stout and hosting the Hardywood Gingerbread House Challenge. Local groups will build houses that show off “Holidays in RVA”.
If you’re a fan of festive craft beer, delightful desserts turned into architectural masterpieces and a jolly good time, ‘yule’ love this event!

The inaugural Hardywood Gingerbread House Challenge dares local businesses, nonprofits and student groups to form teams and display their holiday spirit and creativity by constructing a gingerbread house centered around the 2017 theme: “Holidays in RVA”

Thanks to the goodwill of Hardywood Park Craft Brewery, this exciting event coincides with the release of their popular Gingerbread Stout (which BeerAdvocate calls “freagin’ Christmas in a bottle.”)

Hosted by BHCyp, the young professionals board of the Better Housing Coalition, event attendees will vote on their favorite houses, and a celebrity judging panel will crown the $1,000 Grand Prize Winner! Houses will be up for auction, and 100% of proceeds will support BHC’s mission of changing lives and transforming communities through high-quality affordable housing.

So don’t be a Scrooge – join the fun and support a great cause!
