A late-afternoon sun slides over brick warehouses as you step off Broad Street into Scott’s Addition — once rail yards and garages, now a corridor of taprooms and reclaimed industrial spaces. The tour threads five stops in roughly three hours: Buskey Cider’s airy depot taproom, Strangeways’ eccentric brewery, Ardent’s beer garden, Black Heath’s mead-focused tasting room, and Blue Bee’s barrel-aged ciders.

A late-afternoon sun slides over brick warehouses as you step off Broad Street into Scott’s Addition — once rail yards and garages, now a corridor of taprooms and reclaimed industrial spaces.

Scott’s Addition carries the city’s industrial memory in its streets: turn-of-the-century rail spurs, 19th-century stables and 20th-century warehouses retooled for fermentation and hospitality. Geologically, Richmond sits where the Piedmont meets the Coastal Plain; the urban landscape is punctuated by converted brick and concrete rather than sweeping natural vistas, but the James River’s influence on local agriculture — apples and honey for cider and mead — is immediate in the glass.
Expect guided tastings (one beverage per stop included), short walks between venues, and curated stories about production techniques and local brewing history. The guides are veterans in both service and local knowledge, and the route emphasizes accessible indoor and outdoor spaces.
Practical guidance: bring a government-issued ID, wear comfortable shoes for pavement and occasional gravel, and plan transport home in advance — rideshares and Richmond public transit are nearby. Hydrate between samples and eat beforehand; pacing keeps the tasting focused on flavor rather than volume. If you prefer a quieter visit, request early departures or private bookings. This crawl is as much about Richmond’s craft community and resilient industrial architecture as it is about the drinks in your glass.
The guided crawl runs about three hours and includes five stops with approximately one beverage per location.
