Original — May 14, 2014

Back in December Richmond BizSense.com had a story on Mechanicsville natives Michael Davis and Ryan Mitchell plans to bring Garden Grove Brewing Company to Chesterfield in May. It looks like those plans have changed as according to the their Facebook page they’ve just signed a lease at 3445 W. Cary St.

I don’t know if they’ve changed their brewing style along with their location but here is what they said in December to Richmond BizSense.com.

Davis hopes creative recipes will set his brewery apart from the crowd. He hinted at oatmeal cookie and avocado as potential flavors for blending into Garden Grove beers.

“I believe we’re going to be one of the craziest breweries out there in terms of what we’re putting into our beers,” Davis said.

They’ll launch with five staple products, recipes cooked up by company brewmaster Mike Brandt, including the Danny on the Mountain IPA, Boxer’s Brew Stout and Soul Sucker Hefeweizen.

    I went to their debut a few months ago at the John Marshall Hotel and the beer is definitely good (especially the saison). I’m glad they will be in the city (2 blocks away!) and not all the way out in C-field.
