Richmond Revisited: Day 6

Scooped up early from my re-arrival into town

- we first headed to the VMFA to see the Napolean exhibit

  & then out for some promised biscuits...  :) 

Roanoke; a sojourn:

Travelling southwest on an early Greyhound at 5.30....
Waking up from sleep amidst the lush green landscape,

Richmond Revisited: Evening Crawl

Scott's Addition: the year I left Richmond, Richmond Triangle Players were based there but not a whole lot else. A bit of a no man's land between Downtown & Willow Lawn.
   In the ensuing years which followed, Legend & Hardywood were joined in town by a multitude of new players in the craft beer scene; a lot of them based down this way. Time for a catch-up with some friends & a chance to check them out.

1. Isley Brewing Company

.... past RTP & its famous new crosswalk ...

to 2. Ardent Craft Ales ...

... along Altamont Ave to 

- did someone say Mead?!

3. Black Heath Meadery ...

(They might've been about to close but they 

very graciously poured each of us a serving. )

4. Three Notch'd Brewery ...

Beer of the night: Bee Student

10.8% imperial milk stout. Mmm!

Hunger struck. 

Hasty Google.

"Excuse me, is your kitchen still serving...?"

They were!

= 5. Sheppard Street Tavern!

Tots & Bell's Oberon.

Result!   :D

Richmond Revisited: Day 6

Belle Isle explorations, bridges;
bike ride & beer at Capital Ale House...

Palmer Chapel Arch, as seen from the other side.

This sign still makes me chuckle.
