Hopworks Urban Brewery Announces 2020 Beer Release Calendar

Hopworks Urban Brewery has announced its 2020 Beer Release Calendar. The new year brings a new look to the lineup at HUB as the brewery has finished a complete brand refresh of its package design. The brewery has also renamed a few of its beers to go along with this brand refresh.

Hopworks reached out to artist Martin Ontiveros to create the new label artwork and this was integrated by Paige Buda. The 2020 Beer Release Calendar showcases new core, seasonal, and limited release beers.
