Gin, Apple Brandy, Whiskey...and Pechuga?   What if participating in local farmer's markets could boost your brand more than major media coverage? In the latest episode, I sit down with Max Lents, the passionate founder and CEO of Baltimore Spirits Company. Max takes us through his journey of reviving Maryland rye whiskey, from the company's birth in 2013 to its first spirit release in 2015. Emphasizing the power of community engagement and grassroots marketing in creating authentic customer connections, Baltimore Spirits Company weaves storytelling and tradition into each bottle, making a significant mark on the craft distilling scene.   We also dive deep into the other spirits being produced by BSC, including a Szechuan gin and a Pechuga, which I had heard of maybe once and never actually tried. Maryland - and Baltimore - is more than just rye country. It's apple brandy, gin, and spirits of all kinds.    You'll also hear about the unique methods that set Baltimore Spirits Company apart, such as pot distillation, open wooden vat fermenters, and a distinctive mash bill with dual yeast strains. We also discuss the critical contributions of Eli (originally from Peabody Heights Brewery), whose expertise in industrial-scale fermentation has been a game-changer.   From the release of Epoch Rye to innovative creations like Fumas Pumila, Max shares the meticulous process and passion behind each spirit, ensuring a product that stands out in the market. Finally, Max discusses the collaborative spirit within the Union Collective and the challenges and successes of expanding production. He and his partners have the long-term vision of becoming the premier rye whiskey distillery on the East Coast and the formation of the Maryland Distillers Guild.   Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Max for entering the Whiskey Ring!   Thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, BAXUS Baxus is the world's leading collectible spirits marketplace, with user-friendly options for buyers, sellers, and collectors looking to vault their collections.

DC Beer's Richard and Adam sit down with Jon Zerivitz and Kevin Blodger of Union Craft Brewing in Baltimore, Maryland to discuss how their brewery has become a pillar of their neighborhood over the past eight years. Simple, Good Beer for Baltimore Jon, Kevin, and their business partner, Adam Benesch, founded Union Craft Brewing in 2011 with the vision of making good craft beer for the enjoyment of local Baltimore residents. It was the first new brewery built in Baltimore in 30 years. Kevin, the Director of Brewing Operations, brought a simple concept to Union Craft Brewing: make good quality beer that anyone can appreciate. Today, Union Craft Brewing offers a wide variety of beers, with Kevin encouraging his staff to experiment with new, innovative brews.Many Union Craft Brewing beers are creatively named after Baltimore-area landmarks. Some popular names include Blackwing (a tribute to local sports teams Ravens and Orioles--both black-winged birds) and Anthem (invoking Francis Scott Key's penning of The Star-Spangled Banner just outside of Fort McHenry in Baltimore). A New Home at the Union CollectiveJon, Kevin, and Adam wanted Union Craft Brewing to become a vibrant hub for the neighborhood. In 2018, they moved into an old industrial building and transformed it into the Union Collective, a business park that hosts a number of independent businesses, including Charmey ice cream shop, Earth Treks rock climbing, Baltimore Spirits Company, Vent Coffee Roasters, Well Crafted Kitchen, and the Wine Collective. They haven't stopped there. Union Craft Brewing now hosts a number of concerts and parties to bring the community together. The brewery boasts a massive taproom with a concert stage and plenty of room for large crowds. It has a capacity for 35,000 barrels (and they currently produce about 13,000 barrels per year).Union Craft Brewing is a family-friendly environment that allows anyone to enter until 6pm, when it then becomes a 21-and-older facility. Upcoming Beer Releases and Events Kevin has some new, exciting beers on tap for this winter. On November 1, he released the Cold Pro, which riffs off their summer seasonal wheat beer Old Pro by removing coriander and adding cranberries and a touch of cinnamon. He will also begin selling mini-kegs of Snowpants, a winter seasonal oatmeal stout, as part of the brewery's winter beer release event called The Cornucopia.Union Craft Brewing has a few other exciting events on the horizon. On November 16, it is hosting their sixth annual Oyfest in collaboration with The Local Oyster and True Chesapeake Oyster Co. And on January 19, it is celebrating “Zay Day,” the 100th birthday of Adam's grandfather who still works at the brewery--perhaps the oldest brewery worker in the world!You can find a full list of Union Craft Brewing's upcoming events in November here. Catch up on all the DC Beer Show episodes here, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter, the DC Beer Weekly Pour.

On July 28, Jon Zerivitz, Adam Benesch, and Kevin Blodger, will celebrate six years of Union Craft Brewing in their new Union Collective Space on 41st Street in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore. While it’s exciting to see this well-deserved expansion come to life for Union Craft Brewing, this next chapter for them is about so much more than just the brewery itself. “When we initially realized that we were at capacity and needed to expand, we were just thinking about expansion,” fellow co-founder and director of marketing Jon Zerivitz reflected. “How do we solve this problem for Union? And when we went out into the city to look for a location, we still just couldn’t find anything that was gonna work for us.” So, Zerivitz, along with Blodger and Adam Benesch, the third Union co-founder and director of operations, went back to the drawing board with their search their homebase neighborhood Hampden in Baltimore. It was then they looked at a previously-dismissed, massive warehouse space located at 1700 W. 41st St. — once home to Sears — with fresh eyes. A new vision of Union’s future and the community’s started to take shape between them. They wondered what if, instead of simply expanding for themselves, they invited other local makers and manufacturers to share this space with them, to create a community hub? “The first reaction (in the community) was, ‘Whoa, this is a big step! How are we going to do this?’ ” Benesch said. “But then, I think once people understood what we really were trying to do here — and what it could all mean for all of us together — it clicked with a lot of people and realized what the potential could be.” Thus, the Union Collective, “a new home for Baltimore’s growing independent businesses,” was born. In addition to the Union Craft Brewing taproom, Earth Treks, a regional climbing and fitness gym, has also opened their doors. In future, other local businesses, such as Vent Coffee, The Creamery, Well Crafted Pizza and others, will call the Union Collective their home. There will be a larger grand opening to celebrate the full Union Collective later this year. At a time when the definition of success is completely different for craft brewers than it was even only five years ago, the story of the Union Collective presents a unique growth story for others to look to. It adds more dimension to the already proven narrative of how craft breweries revitalize towns and make a point to give back to their own communities. It also shows the potential of what could be.

Max Lents, co-founder of Baltimore Whiskey Company swings by the studio to discuss progress on their move to the Union Collective and the much-anticipated release of their first rye whiskey, the first to be distilled in Baltimore in approximately 75 years. Max was kind enough to give us the first look at the packaging and the first public taste of their new spirit.

For Sarah Walker, coffee has always been about more than just coffee. She founded Vent Coffee Roasters in 2013, with the goal of letting out the bad and taking in the good.

Sarah talked about the turning point in her relationship with coffee, the sense of community she’s passionate about cultivating, and bringing her knowledge back to Charm City.

Max Lents, co-founder of The Baltimore Whiskey Company, joins us to talk about their two-year-old distillery, which will soon move and be a part of the Union Collective in Hamden.

Have you heard of Union Craft Brewing in Baltimore? Then you probably fall into one of two categories: You love their beer, and you already know how awesome Union head brewer Kevin Blodger is; or You love their beer, and now it's time to get to know Kevin Blodger. (There's probably a third category of not liking their beer, and thus not caring about who Kevin Blodger is... but if that sounds like you, we may not be able to be friends, so let's just move on.) Kevin Blodger, Union Craft Brewing head brewer, all-around badass One sunny Friday morning not too long ago, I made my way to Baltimore to sit down with Kevin in Union's taproom. During our chat, we talked about: How he got his start in brewing and his background at Gordon Biersch and District Chophouse. Upcoming collaborations with Goonda Beersmiths, Oliver Brewing Co. and Stillwater Artisanal. Why the first day they ever brewed their Duckpin was the worst day ever. Moving to their new space — the Union Collective — and the community-focused vision behind their new space. Bars vs. brewery taprooms -- what's the difference? How it felt to have Guinness’ interests as a foreign company prioritized ahead of local Maryland brewers. "Shelfies" vs. limited releases.... and much more! Okay, Here’s the Episode “When I look back on it, we were doing something really cool. We were training as German brewers … We were getting a formal brewing education through our practices.” “We’ve got all of these great breweries here already -- why not do everything you can to help them shine?” “I wish that at some point [Del. Talmadge Branch] had reached out to us, so we can show him what we do here…” “There isn’t a single brewer in the state that I don’t like, that I’m not happy to see every time I see them.” “I hate this saying that if you can buy a beer on the shelf, it’s not as good as a limited release.” Related Articles and Content The Union Collective (and coverage by the Baltimore Sun) My interview with Del.
