Hardywood Park Expands

Richmond's Hardywood Park Brewery has been in the news frequently after bursting on to the Virginia craft beer scene late last year. Their beers are getting very favorable reviews, and they even brought home a Bronze medal from the World Beer Cup last week. Even though the brewery opened just a few months ago, they are already in expansion mode, as reported by Richmond BizSense,

One of Richmond’s newest breweries is doubling its production capacity. 

In late April, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery added two 80-barrel fermenting tanks to their 12,000-square-foot warehouse in an industrial part of town near the Diamond 

“We’re getting them hooked up now and hoping by the end of the week to start filling them up,” said Eric McKay, who started brewing with business partner Patrick Murtaugh in September.

Hardywood beers are distributed to about 90 Richmond-area restaurants. The brewery also has a tasting room where the beers are available.
