As diehard lovers of all things Beer & Baseball, UNION proudly presents our contribution to the “Bronze Thunder Twins” national collaboration campaign. Created by Harlem Brewing Company and Metier Brewing in collaboration with the families of Josh Gibson and Buck Leonard, with hops sponsored by Yakima Chief, Bronze Thunder Twins IPA honors the first two Negro League players to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Catcher Josh Gibson, “known for booming home runs and an arm like a cannon,” led the Negro National League in home runs 11 times. His teammate, Walter “Buck” Leonard was selected for 13 Negro League All-Star games and was widely considered one of the best first baseman in Negro League history. Together they were known as “The Thunder Twins”.

Bronze Thunder Twins IPA is classic example of a West Coast-style IPA. Aromas of Grapefruit and grass cover the bases, with a soft floral hit and a present bitterness balanced by a slightly sweet finish.

A portion of the proceeds of all Bronze Thunder Twins IPAs will go to benefit the Josh Gibson Foundation & Buck Leonard Association. Their respective missions aim to foster academic and athletic programs within their communities.
