Well, in a move that’s caught us off guard, Silver Spring’s Astro Lab Brewing will close at the end of the month. The brewery opened in the fall of 2018 and quickly became one of the better hazy IPA producers in the area, thanks in no small part to co-owner/head brewer and New Zealand native Matt Cronin’s use of that country’s hops. He was among the first to hand select Freestyle Hops in the area. Earlier this year some of those hops went into Artemis V IPA, a collaboration brewed with our own Jordan Harvey. Astro Lab also hosted our March beer share.
