It’s been a busy week so far …And we’re doing our best to keep you up with all the breaking beer news.
The Crowns & Hops World Domination Tour Continues (Inglewood, CA) – In last year’s Blueprint, BrewDog introduced its Development Fund 2.0 as a way that the now hugely successful company could help others spread the craft beer word. And as part of that effort they partnered with Beny Ashburn (The Dope) & Teo Hunter (The Dank) the duo behind Crowns & Hops a crowd-funded effort to build a brand and open the first black-owned independent craft brewery to the city of Inglewood, CA.
And now the dynamic duo behind Crowns & Hops, that Time Magazine credit with “Changing the Face of Beer in 2018” have announced that they’ve already exceeded all-crowd-funding expectations and will be launching a series of tasting experiences, events and festival appearances across the United States this summer.
Words To Drink By (Los Angeles, CA) – “This movement for inclusion in craft beer, along with our goal of opening this brewery is about building what’s missing. Less than 1% of craft beer breweries are black owned. It’s time to change that narrative. So instead of waiting for it to happen organically, we’re creating a new craft beer footprint for those that are searching for it.”- Teo Hunter (The Dank) Crows & Hops
Stone Brewing Introduces A More Affordable World Bistro Menu (Escondido, CA) – – Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens, who has long taken pride in the fact that their artisan menu didn’t offer the obvious, is bowing to accusations that its food was not only “pretentious” but “too expensive” and changing its menu.
After years of complaints from visitors, Stone has finally added a two burgers to its beer cuisine menu. Both feature Certified Organic, 100% grass-fed, and dry-aged beef directly from Belcampo’s regenerative CA farm and Certified Humane USDA processing facility.

What We’ve Been Drinking Lately (Denver, CO) – Seedstock Brewery has released some intriguing beers this year (a gruit no-hops beer, a Grand Marnier-aged beer) and we just hit up something new from them that you might want to chase down.
