We like our Brew hot ‘n’ fresh, but we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…

Next Phase of Preparation Starting for Hoos. Virginia football completed its spring practices, with head coach Tony Elliott pleased with the team’s progress and depth. Despite losing key players, the Cavaliers added a strong transfer class and returning players are stepping into prominent roles. The team will continue to build on its progress with player-led and coach-led practices before fall camp.
