The Veil Brewing Co.
The Veil Brewing Co. was founded by Matt Tarpey and opened in Richmond, Virginia, in 2016 in the Scott's Addition neighborhood. Tarpey named the brewery after a conversation with Jean Van Roy of Brasserie Cantillon in Belgium in January 2014, who described the protective pellicle inside a beer barrel as 'the veil.' Before founding The Veil, Tarpey worked at Portsmouth Brewery, The Alchemist, Brasserie Cantillon, and Hill Farmstead. The Veil quickly earned a reputation as one of the most exciting breweries on the East Coast, specializing in hop-forward IPAs, fruited sour ales, wild and spontaneous fermentation beers, and spirit-barrel-aged stouts and barleywines.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
