4/10/2015 -- Swine & Brine Festival 2015 at Ardent Craft Ales

Outdoor festival at Ardent Craft Ales celebrating local pork and oysters, craft beer & spring!

Join us Friday, April 10 from 4 to 8 p.m. for our first ever outdoor beer and food festival at Ardent Craft Ales. We've invited our friends from local restaurants The Roosevelt, Metzger Bar and Butchery, Saison and ZZQ to come cook whole hogs as well as grill a slew of other pork cuts and suitable sides. Rappahannock Oyster Co. will also join the festivities with steamed and roasted oysters, as well as fresh crab cakes! And finally, King Of Pops - Richmond will be here with plenty of desserts to cool off a fine Friday afternoon.

As for the beer, there will be at least 12 different Ardent brews available with several new releases for the occasion. We'll have the massive Brown Distributing truck on hand pouring draft beers, plus additional drafts in our taproom. Head Brewer Kevin O'Leary will brew up several surprise casks just for Swine & Brine as well. Stay tuned for beer announcements as we get closer to April 10.
