Taste test: Get to know an up-and-coming local brewery at From the Jump, a block party fundraiser for Neon Culture Brewing. Brew leader Corey Hoffman builds inclusion through craft beer, and is looking to be the first Black and minority-owned brewery in Charlottesville. Hoffman will be pouring up three brews, created in partnership with Decipher Brewing: a New Zealand-style pilsner, an imperial mole stout, and a hazy IPA. Food trucks from Legaci Eats, Vegan Comforts Soul Food, and Elbows Macaroni and Cheese Kitchen provide the nosh, and DJ Double U takes the stage from 2-5pm, followed by singer-songwriter Elizabeth Wise from 6-8pm.
Saturday 7/30. Free, 2-10pm. Decipher Brewing, 1740 Broadway St. @neonculturebrewing
