Our Mission: to become one of the most respected brewers in the United States through integrity in our ingredients and in our business practices, through respect for brewing heritage, and through the inspired creation of extraordinary beers.
   Integrity is paramount in both our ingredients and in our business practices. Hardywood will never compromise when selecting ingredients and adapting techniques, nor when hiring new team members. We will strive to be valuable contributors to the local Richmond community, and to the broader community of craft brewers that is growing nationwide.
   Heritage plays a central role in our tremendous respect for beer and brewing. More than 50 centuries of talented brewers before us, including three generations in Master Brewer Patrick Murtaugh's direct lineage, will influence our approach to every aspect of our end product, from the presentation to the libation. Each of our recipes is designed with an adherence to tradition, yet a healthy dose of innovation.
   Inspired creation is what led us to start a brewery, and it will remain a central theme in our approach to brewing. With our pilot brewery, we will tirelessly strive to create extraordinary beers, and will not graduate a recipe to our full brewhouse until it is capable of providing those who imbibe Hardywood's beers with a truly ethereal experience. We hope to brew with local ingredients whenever possible and will collaborate with farmers, coffee roasters, chocolatiers, spice makers and other artisans in the region to brew beers that showcase the terroir of central Virginia.
