This week on Beer Sessions Radio, Jimmy is taking center stage to highlight the "Curtain Up" initiative with the Happy Hour guys and a couple of special brewmasters. On the show is Dave Lopez from Gun Hill Brewing Company in the Bronx, NY; Jon Zerivitz from Union Craft Brewing in Baltimore, Maryland; Kris March from Slickfin Brewing in Fort Edward, NY; and Jimmy Ludwig and Mark Aldrich from The Happy Hour Guys. For the first half of the show, Jimmy, The Happy Hour Guys, and Dave catch up with Jon down in Baltimore. Jon highlights Baltimore’s rich art scene and all the support his Curtain Up beer has received from the Baltimore community. He also credits Covid-19 for helping him refocus and slow down a bit, reworking his brewing process and recipes so that everything is in great shape for an early March reopening. Jimmy and Mark speak candidly about how hard the past year has been for anyone in the live performance industry, and how the Curtain Up Initiative is adding any sort of stimulus they can to people’s lives. In the second half of the show, The Happy Hour Guys and Dave bring on Kris, who has a unique family connection to the Broadway scene. While he’s only a couple of years into owning his one-barrel brewery, Kris has been experimenting with fermentation since he concocted a “toilet wine” while serving in Afghanistan. Now much more established, Kris reveals some super exciting news to the gang and shouts out his upcoming new beer inspired by Girl Scout cookies.Photo Courtesy of Mark Aldrich.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Union Craft Brewing out of Balitmore, Maryland just celebrated its eighth anniversary, and to celebrate they released a special box of beers and merch. Carlin and Rebecca sit down to try the beers and talk about their overall assessment of the box.

A number of difficult questions are being asked in the United States and the craft beer community is not immune. Is the community doing enough to welcome people of color into taprooms? What about employment opportunities, especially in breweries that opened in "gentrified" neighborhoods? Does the community even have an obligation to consider these questions? These are some of the topics Lashelle and Roche discuss with Kevin Blodger of Union Craft Brewing in Baltimore. The conversation focuses on the social justice and economic benefits of inclusion as well as the balancing act of performative vs cost effectiveness. Then, Kevin shares his unusual journey to brewery ownership. Check out this article on Thrillist for more about Kevin's craft beer journey.

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.

Paco… Balls… Wendi… Producer Mike and... "INTERN" Andy! The gang is together again in an uproarious reunion show recorded live at Baltimore’s own Union Craft Brewing, with special returning guest Scott Reardon of 98 Rock! After a quick discussion of the new Joaquin Phoenix Joker film, Balls breaks out a mysterious gift he received for Wendi, which triggers flashbacks of the 2018 Mystery Mailer. The gang handles a particularly verbose audience member before delving into the new Ravens quarterback, and then it’s on to audience questions. We chat body positivity, zombie apocalypses, and homosexual experimentation. Scott suffers a critical blow from a belligerent audience member, and Wendi discusses pimple popping. It’s a wild night filled with delicious Union Craft brews, games, prizes, and some classic Paco and Balls antics as they reunite with their MVP!

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.

We packed up and drove out to Baltimore to check out the shiny new home of Union Craft Brewing. Head of brewing operations and co-founder Kevin Blodger sat down with us in their new production are to fill us in on the move and all of the awesome things Union has going on.

Lynn Pronobis, Operations Manager and Cask Ninja at Union Craft Brewing joins us in studio to talk brewing, casks, and Chris’s love of Tea Time, which is Lynn’s creation.


Good beer brings good people together for good times and good works. This statement might be your own personal belief that has lingered in the back of your mind since college days or your first backyard BBQ, but it genuinely is the philosophy behind Union Craft Brewing. Founded in 2011 just outside of Baltimore Maryland, Adam Benesch, Kevin Blodger and Jon Zerivitz took the leap of faith to be entrepreneurs in the craft beer space. In a short amount of time they have gained a good foothold in the Delmarva region, they've almost tripled operations and they are now successfully distributing to restaurants, bars and liquor stores in keg and can form.We sit down to hear all the moving parts of how Union Craft Brewing got off the ground and even sneak in a couple random stories like what new collaborations Kevin is working on launching and how Adam enjoys working alongside his 98yr old grandfather...probably the oldest brewery employee in the world.For more information, go to www.UnionCraftBrewing.com and if you're interested in watching the video of our sit down, go to www.VicariouslyPodcast.com

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.

Season 3, Episode 37 – This week, we’re heading up to the California Craft Beer Summit and making a few stops along the way. The 2016 California Craft Beer Summit is upon us! But, before get into the nitty gritty of the event, we’re driving up to Sacramento and making some stops along the way to pick up some beers from California breweries that we normally wouldn’t have access to. Erin Peters from The Beer Goddess also joins us in our makeshift hotel room studio in beautiful downtown Sacramento, California. Beers from California California is the largest state in the United States of America, and is home to approximately 600 breweries. According to the Brewers Association, approximately 95% of beer brewed in California in 2015 was sold in California. That’s a lot of beer, and the Brewers Association says there’s still room for more breweries. That’s pretty exciting. The beers on the show this week cover a pretty large swath of California. We made stops in Bakersfield at Lengthwise Brewing Company, Fresno at Tioga-Sequoia Craft Brewery, and Turlock at Dust Bowl Brewery. While these breweries are all geographically in California, the beers they brew are unique to their respective markets, making for a deliciously diverse group of beers for this week’s show. It should be noted that we kicked off the show this week with Union Craft Brewing’s Old Pro gose, which was sent to us by Four Brewers listener Jason Evans. We meant to include it on our gose show, but it got lost in the mix. Sorry about that, Jason! The beer was great! Also, be on the lookout on our YouTube channel for the the vlog we made documenting the trip up! BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT, CALIFORNIA.
