Väsen Brewing Company — Restaurant in Richmond

Väsen Brewing Company is a standout in the Richmond craft beer scene! From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for both casual gatherings and special occasions.

The beer selection at Väsen is top-notch, with a variety of innovative and expertly crafted brews to suit every palate. Whether you're a fan of hoppy IPAs, rich stouts, or refreshing sours, you'll find something to love here. I particularly enjoyed their unique and flavorful seasonal offerings, which showcase their creativity and commitment to quality.

Life Pro Tip: If you find the main area crowded, head over to the spacious and comfortable outdoor seating. It's a great spot to enjoy your drink, especially on a nice day, and the vibe is just as lively and enjoyable.

The staff at Väsen Brewing are fantastic. They're knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to recommend a beer that suits your taste. Their passion for brewing is evident, and it adds to the overall experience.

The brewery itself is beautifully designed, with a blend of industrial chic and cozy touches that make it a great place to relax and unwind. The community events and live music they often host are an added bonus, making each visit unique and fun.

I can only speak for the service. Too bad I couldn't get a beer. Long line doesn't mean good beer it means they were under staffed. Maybe another time. So I went around the corner to Tazza Kitchen. The people at the bar were talking about the same situation. The left Wassen because they were thirsty. Maybe another time. I came back later. The lines had subsided and I ordered a dark cherry sour. Not bad. Further tasting will be required. I'll be back but will come early. The staff did not equal the size of the testing room. Its always better to be over staffed and to give great service. It doesn't matter how good your product is if people can't get a glass to taste. Bottom line Not the best in Scott's Addition. Atmosphere was a little cold. But wearable gear was cool. I'll be back in a week to see if it's better or worse. Cheers! I went and it got better so I added a star! Bar staff could be friendlier.

I've started to make this a regular stop when in Scott's Addition. Or should I call its Scott's Addiction 🍺

I'm glad to see some good IPA's here. Cashmere...

I really enjoyed their beer! I gave pretty high scores to the two IPAs I tried. Two complaints or suggestions though.... I realize our Covid way of life complicates things for everyone, but you really should attempt to update ALL of your on-site info. Your message on your answering machine still says you open at Noon on Sundays, as well as a portion of your website... While your Google page has you listed as opening at 2pm. It wasn't too clear, but I decided to trust your phone message..... Nope!.... I arrived at 12:15pm only to find you don't open until 2:00pm. I was not the only person who was confused, as I spoke with half dozen people who made the same mistake as I did. Secondly I did go ahead and reserve a table from 2pm to 3pm.....I do not really appreciate one of your servers coming to my table at 2:45pm to remind me that my time will expire in 15 minutes.... and can he go ahead and close me out??! I was planning on getting a t-shirt as I was heading out.... this made the decision NOT to purchase...
