New Belgium Brewing is a leading US premium adult beverage company, known for its iconic portfolio and Human Powered Business model. What started in a Fort Collins, CO basement in 1991, has grown into one of the most successful breweries in the country. Today, the business proudly brings brands to life like the innovative Voodoo Ranger IPA lineup, renowned Bell’s Two Hearted IPA and Oberon Ale, an award-winning wood cellar program, and innovation that pushes the category forward. At the center of everything is New Belgium’s Human Powered Business model. For more than three decades, we’ve led with the simple idea that people are at the heart of everything we do. Across all areas of our business, we consider the well-being of our coworkers, our customers, and our communities, and recognize the responsibility we all have to leave a lasting positive impact. This ethos has taken our company far. We expanded to Asheville, NC, in 2016, Daleville, VA, in 2023, and acquired Bell’s Brewery, in Kalamazoo, MI in 2021, and in 2025 took over the US production and distribution of Kirin Ichiban.

Hardywood’s mission is to brew with purpose. This charge comes alive in thoughtfully innovative recipes, a commitment to using local ingredients and an obsession over quality. Beers range in style from traditional to experimental, but there’s a story behind each one. Hardywood is deeply dedicated to minimizing its environmental impact. All power is sourced from renewable energy, and recycled packaging and sustainable materials are used whenever possible. Founded in Richmond, Virginia, by lifelong friends, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery has been soulfully brewing beer since 2011. Today, Hardywood operates a brewery and taproom in Richmond as well as a pilot brewery and taproom in Charlottesville. In early 2018, Hardywood opened their new $28M West Creek brewing facility and beer campus, just west of Richmond. Hardywood beers have earned international acclaim with medals at the World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival as well as a rare 100 rating by BeerAdvocate Magazine. Hardywood beers are currently distributed domestically throughout Virginia and Washington, D.C., – and soon, Atlanta and Raleigh-Durham, as well as in selective international markets.

Samuel Adams Grumpy Monk, one of our Small Batch seasonal craft beers is a golden ale that begins with layers of complex flavor from apricot and clove, to cereal maltiness, and ends with a citrusy hop finish.
