Hampton Roads May Meeting - Hop Rub and Recipe Development

Tuesday, May 19, 2026
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM (EDT)

Event Details

We’re heading over to Virginia Beer Company (Williamsburg) for a hands-on sensory session for our May meeting. We’re teaming up with their Mug Club members to prep for our next collaboration in our "Inspiration In Every Pour" series.


We’ll be performing a deep-dive hop rub using the latest Pink Boots Society hop blend to see exactly what flavors and aromas we’re working with. But we aren't just smelling them; we’ll be using those notes for on-the-spot recipe development. You’ll get a front-row seat (and a say) in how we balance these hops to create our next brew.


There will be a food truck on-site, and appetizers are on us. Come hungry, leave happy, and help us build a brew from the ground up.


The Game Plan:
6:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Networking Hour
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM: Meeting, Education, & Collaborative Recipe Development
