Stone Brewing - Richmond

Really good ambiance with two parking lot areas to access the brewery. Tours are offered twice a day 3 and 5pm with a cost of $15 that includes a flight and $5 your only. From the general exterior to the lavish and spacious interior, both areas are tidy and clean. The service is nice and you can get small samples of beers. I really enjoyed the P.O.G. which was light and savory with fruit notes of passion fruit, oranges, & guava. I enjoyed it so much I got a growler can to go! Now the missing dream item was the pink drink that boasted a strawberry lemonade flavor. The crushed ice added to the appeal. They have a great selection of merch and drink options. Ordering can be done at the bar or through the app to include food options at the food truck.

This is what you would expect from Stone! Rustic industrial taproom. Modern, internet based service, and a California inspired food truck. With the exception of a single, taproom only release, all of the beers are what you have already had from Stone. However, the food truck tacos were great so that alone could make the trip worth it.

A large, modern, aesthetic brewery which mainly serves IPA’s. They have also have hard seltzer now. There is merchandise and a second floor which leads to their brewing room. We were able to have a tour upstairs a few years ago. It makes for a good event venue. There was a market there recently which was fun. Nice place if you like IPA’s or events.

Saturday afternoon was pretty busy. You go in and reserve your spot for a table. Then, wait in line on the pedestrian bridge. Once seated, you can order and pay for everything from the QR code and number on the table. The only time you really interact with service/employees is when you request it. (All coronavirus times precautions) Tables are sanitized between customers, even outdoor tables like we had. They had an awesome food truck there today, 1115 Mobile Kitchen.
