Beer Writing, Well Crafted.
WHO
In late 2016, Hop Culture was started in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by Kenny Gould and J. Travis Smith, two college friends who loved drinking and writing.
WHAT
Hop Culture was born as an online magazine, and has since grown rapidly to include a festival/party circuit and regular merch drops.
WHERE
After a year in Pittsburgh, we moved our headquarters to NYC, where we currently have an office of 5 full-time staff. However, we spend most of our time on the road, throwing parties and collabing with our favorite brewers and friends.
WHEN
Our online magazine publishes (almost) each weekday. To read the mag, click here. Our merch drops sporadically. Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on Instagram to stay up to date. To view our upcoming events, click here.
WHY
To get people excited about our favorite drink, and help shine the spotlight on local craftsmen. Also, to party.
