About

The Swedish word “väsen” honors their Scandinavian heritage and translates as one’s inner essence or way of being. At Väsen Brewing Company, brewing is about creating and appreciating something greater than yourself. Their beer is a medium through which they express themselves and their appreciation for their environment. They brew to inspire others to chase the things they love.

Väsen beers combine the experimental spirit that defines American craft beer with the rustic and funky flavors of Belgian farmhouse and sour ales. They’ve developed a distinctive brewing process that produces balanced, sessionable beers that are perfect for long days outside. While their barrel-aging program will let them flood Richmond with the funkiest of farmhouse ales, they’ll be complemented by a variety of saisons, wheat beers, and pale ales.

Their goal is to make unconventional ales and celebrate those who share an appreciation for the outdoors and spark positive change in their communities.
