The HOP returns to the Windy City this week for a stop at Half Acre Beer! With a history going back to 2007, Half Acre should be recognized as a pioneering company, largely responsible for bringing craft beer to the Midwest. Under the leadership of founder Gabriel Magliaro, what started from humble beginnings in Black River Falls, WI has today grown into a regional powerhouse, collaborating with breweries and pouring beer at festivals around the world. Sharing the same beers for the first time in a while, Stephen & Gabe break down the operation for a look at what makes Half Acre worthy of being a household name.
Featured beers: Daisy Cutter Pale Ale & Beer Hates Astronauts IPA. Plus: Gabe’s got big news and a teacher in Missouri gets frisky! #eggplant
