Meet Samantha

Hi, I'm Sam, your friendly neighborhood beer-loving art nerd and the founder of Connect The Hops!

My journey began at the intersection of two very different worlds: as an Art Director for TCG games and comics, and as an associate brewer in the innovative craft beer scene. For years, I saw the passion and creativity in both and wanted a way to combine the two worlds. My vision was to create a space that celebrates local brewers and unleashes the inner artist in everyone.

Connect The Hops is the result of that vision! We provide a memorable experience that goes beyond a typical night out. Each event is a collaboration with a local brewery, offering you the chance to sample unique beers while being guided through an art project. It's a place where we toast to creativity, support local businesses, and prove that you don't need to be an expert to make something beautiful.

Join us at our next event for hops and happy accidents!
