Oops! I posted this yesterday but somehow messed up the year, so it went back to 2022.
I still have a number of these to queue up, this one is next. My grandparents had a house out in St. Michaels in the Chesapeake Bay, and I was out there last year for my grandmother’s funeral. Found this IPA, which was a nice sipper to have in between the remembrance of life and the funeral.
Brewery: Union Craft Brewing in Baltimore, MD
Beer: Steady Eddie
Description: “After spending the cold winter training our palettes on malty winter brews its time to get out on the field and play some ball with an IPA that’s both refreshing and complex. The lemony-herbal aromatics of Sorachi Ace hops spring out of a nice, light bodied wheat & honey malt base. You can always rely on a solid hit from Steady Eddie.“
This is a good old-school bitter IPA, but it’s got some wheat in the malt bill which I think goes a way in making it more of a summer beer than an IPA. Union Craft is a brewery located in the Medfield area a little north of downtown Baltimore. They’ve been around since 2012 and have beers that can be found throughout Maryland.
Medium: 12 ounce cans.
How it’s related to baseball: It pays tribute, and I’m sure is endorsed by, Orioles stalwart Eddie Murray. This beer can be found at Orioles home games, and frankly next time I attend one I’ll have another!
