If you’re in Richmond and not hitting up Strangeways Brewing... are you even doing RVA right? This place is where wild brews, funky vibes, and creative chaos come together in the coolest, most laid-back way possible. Tucked off Dabney Road just minutes from the heart of downtown, Strangeways Brewing isn’t your average taproom—it’s a full-blown experience. We’re talking rotating taps with next-level flavors, taxidermy on the walls, quirky vintage furniture, and enough personality to make you wonder if Willy Wonka started brewing beer. Yup, it’s weird, and that’s exactly why locals love it.

🍺 Why You Gotta Hit Up Strangeways Brewing

• 👅 Over 36 Taps – You’re not gonna find a boring beer here. Whether you're into fruity sours, bold IPAs, crisp lagers, or “wait, is that a jalapeño in my brew?” flavor bombs—there’s always something new to sip.

• 🌈 Constantly Rotating Menu – No two visits are the same. Strangeways keeps it fresh with small-batch experiments, seasonal surprises, and collabs with local legends.

• 🎯 Award-Winning Brews – These beers aren’t just fun—they’re legit. Golds, silvers, and bronzes from GABF, World Beer Cup, and more. The Wake Me Up Before You Gose, Albino Monkey, and Woodbooger Belgian Brown Ale? Chef’s kiss.

• 🧠 Tasting Room Vibes – Think: industrial-meets-steampunk with oddities galore. Taxidermy squirrels, glowing skulls, and arcade-style seating? Weird, wonderful, and unforgettable.

• 🐕 Dog-Friendly Patio – Bring your pup, grab a pint, and kick back under the RVA sky. Bonus points for food trucks and live music popping up regularly.
