Richmond-based Hardywood Park & Craft Brewery is holding a grand opening celebration for its new Charlottesville brewery Saturday, Feb. 18 from 12-10 p.m.
The Charlottesville brewery, located at 1000 W. Main St., is Hardywood’s second location. The company also has a brewery in Richmond, established in 2011, and next year, it plans to open a $28 million campus in Goochland.
Hardywood’s 3,600-square-foot space in Charlottesville houses a 150-capacity taproom, which includes an outdoor patio. The location features a 3.5-barrel Premier Stainless brewhouse that will be visible behind the main bar, so guests can watch the brewing process.
Pilot beer recipes will be served at the Charlottesville location, and popular recipes will be considered for wider production. Kevin Storm, who joined the company in 2014, will serve as the Charlottesville Lead Brewer.
The Charlottesville taproom will be open Tuesday-Sunday from 12-10 p.m.
