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.

Classically refined, but not styled as a traditional "sweet beer" beer alternative, Crispin ciders are crisp and clean, not sweet and sticky and never sacrifice superior quality refreshment satisfaction for overbearing complexity. Always true to the apple, Crispin Hard Ciders are naturally fermented using fresh pressed apple-juice, never from apple juice concentrate, from a premium blend of US West Coast apples, with no added malt, grape wine or spirit alcohol. Crispin’s unique flavors are smoothed with pure apple juice or from natural sugar sources like oragnic honey or organic maple syrup, and contain no added colorants, sorbate or benzoate preservatives. Crispin ciders have 6 different varietals - Original, Light and Brut; classic European styled crisp clean ciders and our line of Artisanla Reserves; Honey Crisp, The Saint and Lansdowne - unfiltered "cloudy" ciders, ground-breaking "craft beer" uniquely American ciders. Crispin ciders are all Gluten Free for the wheat-intolerant person.
