This week's highlights

Looking for Virginia brewery events this weekend? Two breweries have dates on the calendar. Per Lost Rhino's newsletter, Music Bingo runs Oct 16 in Ashburn, and Ardent Craft Ales says Smolder happens Oct 17 in Richmond.

Stone Brewing Co's newsletter also lists Ruination IPA as coming soon, with Oct 15 attached.

I like when the dates are plain and the venues are the breweries' own taprooms. Fewer moving parts.

New beers

  • Ruination IPA, Stone Brewing Co, Richmond. Status: coming soon, with a date of Oct 15, 2026, according to Stone's newsletter.
