Round 90 - UNION Craft Brewing

<p>The HOP returns to the land of the crab! Stephen &amp; Gabe are heading back to Baltimore for a visit to UNION Craft Brewery. In less than 10 years, UCB’s beer lineup has grown from a single Pale Ale to an archive of more than 100 brews. Having quickly outgrown the original 20 bbl system, the company purchased a massive, 140,000 sq ft warehouse in 2018 and founded the Union Collective, a group of Baltimore-based, independent businesses operating under one roof that includes a coffee house, a distillery, an ice cream shop and even a climbing gym! Stephen &amp; Gabe sample some of their popular beers including the first kölsch ever to appear on the show. And in our news &amp; notes segment, the boys will take a look at the recently announced winners of the <em>Great American Beer Festival.</em></p> <p>Featured beers: Thirst Monster Kölsch &amp; Divine IPA. Plus: Things got weird at a Miami Hurricanes game and apparently cats really do have nine lives!</p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/app">https://anchor.fm/app</a> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thehop/message
