Stoup Brewing Company welcomes Urban Family Brewing to Ballard, with the release of Tin Can Telephone IPA
Today, Stoup Brewing Company releases another in a long list of collaborative beers. Welcoming a new brewery to the neighborhood, Stoup invited Urban Family (formerly in the Ballard neighborhood now in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood) over to brew a beer. Brewed with Amarillo, Simcoe, Citra, and Galaxy hops, the beer showcases two world-class breweries who will soon be sharing the same zip code.
Or as Stoup Brewing Company puts it:
Remember when you were a kid and you heard about the new Urban Family moving in across the street and you sat on the Stoup wondering if they were cool? Then you brewed a beer chock full of Amarillo, Simcoe, Citra, and Galaxy hops with them and sure enough, they were super fun! Before you knew it, you were dreaming of busting out the tin can telephone and becoming the best of friends. Now whenever you drink a smooth, gently bittered hazy IPA with aromas of citrus, grapefruit, passion fruit and melon it reminds you of those happy times. Cheers to new friends and new neighbors!
Look for this beer to be on draft at Stoup Brewing Company and Urban Family Brewing Company taprooms.
Stoup Brewing Company is located at 1108 NW 52nd Street in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. Urban Family Brewing Company is located at 4441 26th Avenue West in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood.

About Stoup Brewing Company
"Two thirsty science nerds and a curious connoisseur walk in to a brew pub… Okay, so it wasn’t quite like that, but it might as well have been."
Stoup Brewing is a long held dream of Brad Benson and Lara Zahaba – two hopeless drink and chow hounds. That the two found each other twenty years ago seems fated – Brad, a scientist to the very last DNA strand, would proffer a hypothesis based on proximity and human nature, we’re sure (ahem). Whatever your take, the takeaway is this: Brad loves beer and has been a loyal student, courter, and crafter for years that number beyond his fingers and toes. Lara loves all things gastro – from a savory plate to a smart pour. The pair, professionally and recreationally, have spent the better part of their hours improving their palate’s quality of life. It was only a matter of time before they ponied up and joined the community of talented purveyors.
Enter, Robyn Schumacher – friend, teacher and self-professed beer geek graduated Cicerone. She had the same dream. Fitting that Robyn’s infatuation with beer bloomed under the tutelage of a Biology degree. Robyn’s regard for all things hop and malt only deepened while her teaching career flourished. Brewing in her spare time was the final hook. Call it what you will – the stars aligning, simultaneous fermentation – Stoup Brewing was born. We’re thrilled to be a part of Seattle’s burgeoning craft beer community in Ballard’s Brewing District.
