    I have a buddy near Richmond scouting for beers. I've looked up stores websites but none have inventory lists. Will someone help me by letting me know which beers I should have him look out for. I live in Georgia so if you're good and know what beers I already get , even better. Just help me out with good beers in general please

    Boulevard is here now and some places have Saison Brett on the shelf, so that's a good one, and i think (Williamsburg) Alewerks Rapadou Porter is fantastic. Hardywood is obvious and the Bourbon Cru should be easy to find and if your friend goes to the brewery they have a canned pale ale that most people seem to like.

    oh, and make sure your friend goes to one of the Once Upon Vine stores or Corks and Kegs, they're going to have better selections and more knowledgeable staff.

    How is the Hardywood Brewery tasting room? I'm going to be able to swing by in early August when we drive though on vacation. Thanks!

    you should definitely make an effort to go to not only Hardywood Park, but also Strangeways (3 miles away) and also Legend, if you can.

    But, yeah, Hardywood is a must; do it!

    the new tasting room should be open by then (if not open in the next week or 2) and looks spectacular
