I mean… I could honestly care less about a VCU branded beer, but really? This is a useless decision and will make ZERO impact on fraternity drinking. What was the point of this? To save face? That’s what it sounds like. I mean… it’s not like Hardywood hasn’t created gross-branded beer for other VA universities. Pretty sure hazing will continue regardless.

I'd be amazed if Hardywood didn't rebrand the liquid, they're not going to just toss out a batch of beer.

almost all of it already went out to Brown. they are going to "destroy it". like 350+ cases. real shame.

Yea, we got the C&D yesterday. That's a bummer, figured they would just relabel the cans.

Is it gross? I haven’t tried it. I usually stick to their stouts.

I’m not really a Hardywood fan. Their stouts are what I would consider their quality beers. Their Gingerbread Stout has quite the cult following. The Great Divide is gross and so are the rest of their beers imo.

Valid opinion. Agreed their stouts are the best, although unlike most high alcohol stouts they age poorly. So if you buy the gingerbreads you can’t expect them to taste well a month later. I will say, I quite enjoy their basic Richmond Lager.

I like their Pils and Richmond Lager. Hokie lager was meh. Suncrush is a nice change of pace. I think Great Return is awful. Outside of that their one off ipa's are actually pretty good.
