The Veil Brewing Co. - Forest Hill — Restaurant in Richmond

Weird pitch, but this brewery is a good spot even if you don’t drink alcohol.

As someone who doesn’t drink going to a brewery is usually a boring & awkward experience. However, the Veil is an exception to this. I’ve been twice & had great experiences both times.

First time they only had soda as a nonalcoholic option, which is fine because some breweries don’t even offer that.The second time I went the Veil had really good nonalcoholic brew, Ever Calm. It is made with crushed pineapple and passion fruit. I really enjoyed this drink because it was fruity & fun without being overly sugary. It’s also in a served draft glass, so I don’t feel like the odd man out by being the only person drinking out of a bottle. Silly I know, but it makes a difference.

Of course the food at Y Tu Mamá is also incredible. During both visits I got the Chesterfield burrito without a tortilla — it’s one of the few foods where every bite is incredible. With super tender pork & plenty of cheese, what more could you ask for?

10/10 can’t wait...

First trip to this brewery. Overall, a very nice place with good atmosphere. Honestly, we were both disappointed with our choice of beer. It's tough when opting for something different. Sometimes it works out great and sometimes not. My wife chose a frozen Sunshine Sorbet Tastee & I went with the Berry Mallow Tastee. Neither of us were thrilled. The flavor fell short of the mark. The food on the other hand was outrageous. We ordered Nachos for an appetizer and we both ordered a Carne Asada Quesadilla. We both said the same thing, It was one of the best quesadillas either of us have ever had. When settling the bill, the barkeep asked how everything was and I passed on that I was disappointed with the beer. He offered to give me something else, which I declined, but the gesture meant a lot. Next time we'll order different beers, but based on the care, the service and the quality of the food, there will be...

Easily the best brewery in Richmond. The Veil's draft list is always long and unique, with beers unlike any other I have tried before. Their to-go beers do tend to be a little pricey but are honestly worth every cent.

Would HIGHLY recommend all of the Veil's sours, but I am specifically a fan of Never Never Dead Dead, Never Lost, Never Never Calm Calm, and Luxurious Luxury #11. Especially Luxurious Luxury #11-- it will truly make you feel like a queen with hints of berry and marshmallow.

The atmosphere of this brewery is also wonderful. While it does get quite busy, it's never too loud or overwhelming, and there is usually a decent amount of space to sit outside as well.

Hungry or drunk? Absorb all that alcohol with a delicious taco or quesadillas from Y Tu Mama who are quite quick to make great food! All in all, the Veil is a great place and welcoming environment to spend an evening...
