I don’t know how long the hemp-derived THC industry will be around, or what it will look like longterm, but we’ve got a ton of places here in Cincinnati that are producing clever, and delicious beverages that scratch an itch for a lot of consumers. One of the very first producers here in Cincinnati was Urban Artifact, and they have not only been pushing hard for innovation in the industry, but for realistic and commonsense regulation at the same time.
Their dedication to this growing industry means that it didn’t come as much of a shocker to me when I heard that they were planning on hosting a one of a kind event – think of this like a beer festival, except for hemp beverages.
Urban Artifact’s Hemp Fest
On Saturday, January 24th, from 1-4 pm beverages from not just here in Cincinnati, but all over will be taking over the Reliquary at Urban Artifact. This even is for 21 and up consumers, because all of the beverages do contain legal amounts of Hemp-Derived THC.
This is an event not just for people who are already fans of the category, but is designed for people who are curious, too.
They’ll have samples from all sorts of brands:
- Coastalo
- Fuzzy Bones
- Sunflower
- Estazzi
- Cycling Frog
- Layup
- Nimbus
- Floral
- AppGirls
- Howdy
- 8th Wonder
- Uncle Skunks
- Crooked Vines
There will also be snacks available from the Succulent Señorita to make sure you don’t get too hungry.
What’s Even Cooler…
While I think it’s pretty awesome to showcase all of these brands, and to give folks a chance to try a bunch of them… there’s so much more to this event than just that.
They are making it very clear that this whole festival also gives consumers a chance to ask questions, to hopefully learn more about the science and the regulations behind the scenes of an incredibly confusing and constantly changing industry.
I love this, and I encourage you to head out and not only support the folks that are pushing hard for this segment, but also continue to learn more about it!
