The story has been passed down the England’s King Henry VIII has posted a ban on the use of hops in beer. He described it as a “most wicked and pernicious weed.” Even some popular breweries have picked up on that phase in their name and some beer. Others write to dispel that myth, but it does make for a great story and a great shirt.

Chesepiooc Real Ale Brewery (CRAB) is a small brewery tucked neatly between Washington, DC, and Annapolis in Crofton, MD. Chesepiooc (pronounced “chess-uh-pee-auck”) is not used in many conversations these days. It comes from the Algonquian language, meaning “village at a big river.” Joe Esposito founded the brewery about six years ago (Feb 2018) with the idea of being intentionally small in size but large in beer and community.
