Fire up the brass band and gather ‘round the crawfish boil, The HOP makes its first appearance in NOLA this week with a visit to Urban South Brewery! Louisiana native Jacob Landry spent his formative years traveling Europe, learning the art of crafting traditional ales and lagers in countries such as Belgium, England and Germany. In 2016, Jacob teamed up with fellow LSU alumnus Kyle Huling and opened the doors to what would quickly become the largest craft brewery in town. Today, Urban South operates an additional taproom in Houston and has earned a variety of accolades, including a spot on Louisiana State University’s 2021 “LSU 100” list, which celebrates the top 100 fastest growing LSU grad-owned businesses in the world. 

Featured beers: Fire Eater Mango Salsa Lager, Juggling Clown Ice Cream Sour, Snake Charmer Fruited Sour IPA and Strongman Triple IPA. Plus: A Youtuber that was once a man is now a dog and Stephen & Gabe have some questions!
