I've never been to Bingo Beer before, in Scott's Addition. The Brew beer AND have video game and pinball machines. Classics like Centipede an Pac Man plus these new pinball machines, like I didn't know they made any more.
Beer is good, too. Picking up some of Deep End, a really easy drinking double IPA using Vic Secret hops. Nicely done beer.
Also got stickers.

The Veil is probably my favorite Richmond brewery based on the beer alone. I had to try their. "The Victim", a sour DIPA with milk sugar, peaches, raspberry and blueberry.
Yes, it's as awful as it sounds. Tastes like a cheap wine or sangria 😋
Won't be bringing any of that.
Rather have a white Ferrari.
They made me pay for stickers, which was annoying. I need to find out who the marketing guy is next time...

Ardent is my favourite Scott's Addition brewery overall. Great beer, terric outdoor deck, brick meat smoker and good beer.
Turns out they don't actually sell to go here. It's all in glass bottles and through the distributor only.
I was surprised to discover they don't have any stickers at all! I really laid into the guy about both of these issues, but he seemed unfazed by it...

Vassan is a huge store front with a big selection of beers. The concrete patio is ok but not nearly as nice as Ardent.
I really gave the dude some shit when he told me there was no way to buy any of the beers to go. Too bad because the River run is really a tasty beer!
Wow. And I got NO stickers!!
Whatever, he didn't need to be a dick about it...

Kinda thought some of the breweries in Scott's were confused and thought they were wine bars... Bit pretentious... Veil and Vasen, I'm looking at you...I've never been to Bingo Beer before, in Scott's Addition. The Brew beer AND have video game and pinball machines. Classics like Centipede an Pac Man plus these new pinball machines, like I didn't know they made any more.
Beer is good, too. Picking up some of Deep End, a really easy drinking double IPA using Vic Secret hops. Nicely done beer.
Also got stickers.
Isley is nice and out of the way. Three notched and Ardent are also good. Bingo was a bit weird... Brewery, fast food or arcade? You decide....
If you are into brewery stickers, I'll bring a bunch to trade. I have loads from Colorado. Don't worry if u don't have any, I'll hook you up with some.
