Union Craft Brewing

Update September 2022 really big open space shared with a restaurant pretty different from the usual which is what makes it so cool. Great place for employee event or gatherings. Love they give back to the community Wednesday. Beer is awesome also to bring home and have with good old Maryland steamed crabs........Glad to have them in Baltimore bought a variety 6 pack as a fundraiser participation. Beers are awesome with crabs

If you’re driving a 53’ footer for delivering, this will be a tight space to park. I wouldn’t say there is overnight parking, but I parked in 4 wheeler spots horizontal to the docks in case employees arrived before my delivery at 9am. I highly advise to flip the truck around and park with your nose facing North so that you can easily driver side back into the dock. Best to either use the road to the left and try to “L” it in or probably better to use the curved road to the right and maneuver it in (wish I had done that in the beginning 😅) There is no parking at the rest areas or truck stops nearby at night; trucks are parked all the way to the freeway and parked all kinds of ways, so this may be the only option. Nice area during the daytime- a bit weird at night- some lady was camping or who knows what near the dumpster and was screaming, random people walking around at night and people in their cars at 11:30pm hanging out in the parking lot. Could have been night shift employees- not sure. Employees were friendly and patiently waited for me to maneuver my way around to flip and dock! In all, definitely not the worst docking situation but also not too semi friendly either.

TLDR: Fun brewery with interesting beers and plenty to do. Ample parking and delicious pizza served by Well Crafted Kitchen. Vibe: 5/5. Located off the main Hampden area, Union is tucked away in an old warehouse sharing the space with several other businesses. One of the biggest perks of the location is the huge parking lot they have available. No need to drive around for several minutes looking for street parking! Union has both inside and outside seating making this perfect for large groups. During my visit, we had a group of 10 and had no problem grabbing a large table outside at 6pm on a Saturday. There are 2 bars, one located inside and one outside which was super convenient. Inside they have some fun decor, including a photo booth camper (free!) and a novelty vending machine definitely worth checking out. Service: 5/5. The entire staff at Union was more than accommodating during our visit. Both bars were easily accessible and the staff was very helpful in helping with beer selection. The same goes for the staff at Well Crafted Kitchen, as we ordered several pizzas from them and they were fantastic at getting us food in a punctual fashion. Food/Beer: 5/5. Very interesting beers! During my visit, I made it a point to sample several of their Workshop beers, which are craft beers only available at the brewery for purchase and are limited releases. That weekend they released a pear saison that was very delicious and the perfect beer to enjoy on a warm August night. The dry hopped saison and white wine apricot Older Pro were also solid sippers. Of course, their normal everyday beer selection is also spectacular and highly recommend those as well. The pizza from Well Crafted Kitchen was also very delicious. We ordered the margarita and the green tomato BLT with both being exceptional.

First time on the Union Craft Brewing and We were NOT disappointed. This Brewery is quite large inside. Plenty of tables, but NO televisions. Animal friendly. A very decent beers selection (Double Duckpin DIPA was the favorite). Also, they have a huge outside area with tables. The pizza was ok and the pretzels was fine, BUT the cheese dip was homemade and it was really GOOD. Plenty of parking and we had a good time.

Loved Union Craft Brewing! Our son lives in the area and really enjoys Union Craft beer but had never gone to the brewery. That was obviously a mistake. We ordered the 5 pizza deal - great flavor combos, seasonal options, and thin, crispy crust on every slice! We tried a selection of beers. My favorite was the cream ale and I also enjoyed a small Snow Pants. We followed up our meal with several rounds of Cornhole. Highly recommend!
