North and Richmond International Airport announce the opening of Cross
Grain Brewhouse, a restaurant and bar with a focus on hand-crafted
food and local craft beers.
�The Cross Grain Brewhouse concept has been very popular with travelers across the country and we�re excited to bring it to Richmond,� said Steve Bass, regional vice president for Delaware North�s travel hospitality business. �We wanted to provide a place that had great food, great drinks and a great atmosphere. Guests will love the local choices for beers and cocktails, but the open-kitchen concept will really immerse them in the quality of our menu.� A focal point of the 1,900-square-foot restaurant, which is located in Concourse A of the airport, is its bar featuring rotating taps from Richmond-area breweries. Following an online survey of hundreds of travelers, featured beers for Cross Grain�s opening include selections from Ardent Craft Ales, Strangeways Brewing, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery and Center of the Universe Brewing Company. �Cross Grain is a welcome addition to the food scene at Richmond International Airport (RIC),� said John V. Mazza, Jr., chairman, Capital Region Airport Commission. �We love the emphasis on local craft beers and house-made menu offerings in Concourse A.� With a menu driven by Executive Chef Kyle Midgett, Cross Grain Brewhouse will offer travelers a variety of house-made food options to complement its craft beer selection. Select menu items include corn-dusted oysters with house-pickled vegetables, crispy pork tacos with house-cured pork belly and a �When Pigs Fly� flatbread, with house-smoked pulled pork and house-made Pamunkey BBQ sauce. Delaware
North operates three other Cross Grain Brewhouse locations: Will Rogers
World Airport in Oklahoma City, Fort Lauderdale�Hollywood International
Airport and the Boise Airport.
