USA, VA: Dogtown Brewing Co. opens as Richmonds newest brewery
An old Thalhimers department store building in Old Town Manchester has officially been reborn as Richmonds newest brewery, the RichmondBizSense reported on July 29.
Dogtown Brewing Co. opened over the weekend at 1209 Hull St., following nearly two years of renovations that included adding a dozen apartments on the upper levels of the three-story structure.
Behind Dogtown are local married couple and developers Michael Hild and Laura Dyer Hild, who own dozens of properties in Southside, and also operate The Butterbean Market & Cafe and Hot Diggity Donuts, both of which are within earshot of Dogtown.
The brewerys opening comes as Michael Hild is embroiled in the bankruptcy of his now-defunct mortgage company, Live Well Financial.
Dogtown opened with eight beers on tap and a full food menu. A barleywine, pale ale, kolsch, oyster stout and brown ale are among its debut beers, which range from $5 to $9. The brewery also is offering four packs of 16-ounce cans of some of its beer, as well as crowlers.
The food menu at Dogtown includes oysters, pupusas, burgers, pretzels, salads and sausages. In addition to a downstairs beer hall, the brewery has a rooftop bar and mezzanine area with a game room.
Dogtown is the third brewery in Manchester, joining Legend Brewing, which recently celebrated its 25th year in business, and Basic City Beer Co.
Last year the Hilds also announced their intention to open Manastoh Brewing at 1128 Hull St., but no plans have been filed for it with the city.
