Sample otherworldly craft brews from Interstellar Ginger Beer at Pro Hops Vino!
This year we’re proud to announce a new beverage sponsor that takes craft brew where no beer has gone before.Interstellar Ginger Beerwill introduce guests to brews ranging from their original First Contact (made with fresh, cold-pressed ginger and lemon) to others modeled after classic cocktails—Martian Mojito, Ginger Colada, or a glow-in-the-dark Sunspot, anyone?
Interstellar launched in 2017 after microbiologist Dr. Shane Kelly did the universe a favor by taking up homebrewing. That’s when he discovered the art of ginger beer and paired up with Daniel Sims to open a brewery in Alabaster. The brews are also sold at pubs and package stores around Alabama, or sample them for free at Pro Hops Vino!
If you’re interested in joining Interstellar as a food or beverage sponsor for Pro Hops Vino!, please email Nancy Yarbrough.
