The Veil Brewing Co.

Last stop for me in Scott's Addition. I was kind of tired, so all of the cylinders weren't firing. A large dark space, huge bar, kind of glitzy. Taps took me a while to figure out as I had some trouble figuring out what I wanted as there were alot of sours and beers I wasn't interested in. Settled for an IPA. Service was good, place was nice, but my mood wasn't so I left unimpressed. This is more on me than them, but I don't have an desire to go there again.

Large location in the heart of Scott's Addition. Huge outdoor area, decent sized indoor area, but the inside is mostly made up of lines. Pre-COVID (not sure how it is now), the lines were just horrible. I don't blame them for their success, but the entire ordering process is just awful due to the lines. I'm really not sure how they can fix this, maybe some mobile taps scattered around the place on very busy days might help. It also doesn't help that the draft list on the day I was last there was almost entirely IPAs or Double IPAs or Triple IPAs that all kind of had that same-same feel to them. Good, but not much variety beyond a slightly different hop profile in many of them. Just not a super enjoyable experience compared to most of the other Scott's Addition venues I've been to.

Don't get the hype. First time we tried to visit, we couldn't get in. This time we arrived at opening time on a Tuesday. The staff was aloof and patronizing, distant and disinterested. The beers are OK (OK, they're good but not outstanding), but really nothing special in today's crowded market. The atmosphere is stale and cold, with a weird array of stuffed animals alongside threats of expulsion if you dare touch. A lot of very similar beers offered. Expensive, like $8 for 12 ounces. I'll go back to Triple Crossing, thanks. Brewery #901.

First beery stop in Scott's Addition, and we are starting strong.. Sours, goses, tipa, DIPA, and all the ipas. Lineups are probably normal here, but move relatively quickly. Choice of 6 ounces and 12 ounces, at around 5$ for the 6 ounces. No flights but little tastes given if you ask nicely. Wifi, funky industrial decor, little snack menu. Plenty of seating inside and out.

Great beer here, trouble is it comes with a high degree of arrogance. Big open place with an equally snobby clientele. Prices above average. You can only get half pours, two at a time - no flights. Again, you go here for the beer and try to ignore the vibe.

One of the breweries in the Richmond brewery district. Warehouse style, large place with some long tables. Completely packed on a Saturday afternoon. All orders placed at the bar and there was a long line (no tab, must pay for what you order when you go up). They had a bunch of sours and IPAs when I was there, also a milk stout with candy (a Halloween special). No food. Beer was quite good, a must stop in Richmond.

Beautiful spot near a bunch of other places. Self-serve at the bar. You can order 6 oz pours of anything, but holy crap, I didn’t think I was in Scandinavia - prices range from $4-6 for this size - unacceptably and insultingly expensive. At least they offer free samples before ordering. Friendly service. The beer is very good to excellent, but the prices leave a bad taste in the mouth. Recommended for the beer, but prepare your wallet for a scolding.

Very cool looking spot, I love the sign above the bar. Staff was very helpful and the beers are just as good as they say they are.

This hyped brewery is one of the many in this area of the town. Parking available. Early afternoon it was busy but mostly younger folks and beer geeks, some other places had more generic customers. Biggish taproom with the lines for ordering. Service worked smoothly and quickly. Beers are of course great, but unfortunately no flights (they do half pours). Ambiance is nothing special, you are here just for beers. Food truck outside had weird "native tacos".
