    a glass of beer
    Jordan C.

    Definitely the quintessential local / community brewery. The servers (shout out to Mike) and the rest of the team there are fantastic. I happened to be there on the night of the owners birthday, so there were a lot of extra people helping serve as well. The space is cozy and they have board games in the back and local art (for sale) around and in the two unisex bathroom stalls. The bar can seat quite a few people and they have a lot of seating options for the space. It was a bit colder the night I was there but the Biergarten looked like a cool space I would check out next time. For a brewery that has not been open that long I was impressed with the amount of their own beers they had on tap. I had a a couple full pours and a couple tasters. My favorite was the Full Speed or Nothing. The beers overall are good. A couple were slow starters for me, didn't taste great on the first few sips but got better. Was it the best beer I have had? No. Was it clean, drinkable and enjoyable? Yes. This is a great place to hangout and somewhere where everyone knows each other and you will always be taken care of. There is also the option to order food from the nearby restaurant (but that will be a another review ).

    Great new space and super friendly owners!! It was way more happening than another nearby brewery/restaurant which we visited just prior. Will be back in warmer weather to check out the back beer garden.

    i wonder if beer thinks about me too

    Great beer, great atmosphere, great servers and great food from the restaurant next door. Everything you want in a neighborhood public house.

    The Grand Opening drew lots of people from the area! We were there between 4:15 pm and 5:45 pm and it was hopping! (Pun totally intended) While they had sufficient bartenders and waitstaff to take orders, it appeared they only had a couple of terminals to enter drinks, settle tabs. The wait staff was friendly and positive, but the lines were long due to not having enough terminals. Yes, I know it was their Grand Opening so it should all settle well without long waits (but please get more terminals) in the coming days, weeks. While we found a table relatively quick (15 min) as people left, it was a bit disconcerting seeing patrons with very small children there. The kiddos were holding their hands over their ears and shuttled back and forth as the adults in their group tried finding places to sit or stand as it became standing room only very quickly. While I'm sure they intend to be a family-friendly location, when there's large crowds, it's definitely not a place for babies and toddlers as it can get loud (in a good jovial way). I'm looking forward to coming back during a weekday evening. Shout out to wait staff Brandon who serviced our table. We liked the vibe of Hop District and it's definitely a place that people yearned to have in this area.

Tried a mixed flight of IPA, Pale Ale, Sour, and a Stout - all were good and unique in the genre. My absolute favorite was a full pour of the King Balaton, sour cherry with a jammy and complex taste. Balaton is a Hungarian cherry, and I once had a great wine by a Michigan wine maker with the same, so I'm gonna say the Balaton cherry should be a Midwest tradition. There were plenty of TVs showing the World Cup matches, so I could keep up with the action. I look forward to more visits, and to try their extensive beer and food menu.

I was surprised to learn that they had a gluten-free bun for me to have with their grilled chicken sandwich. The bun did not fall apart like a typical gluten-free bread sometimes does. The sandwich also had avocado and bacon on it. The coleslaw was very good. The waitress was great. Good service and happy to help me with my gluten-free options. My husband had the spinach strawberry salad, which he really enjoyed. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there was a pretty good crowd there. The noise level was not bad at all. There were several families there with children and it looked like they had kids meals available although I did not look on the menu.

Magical first few bites. But chicken gets boring. Crispy Brussels sprouts - 3.5/5. Solid fry level. Cheesy bites are delicious. But quickly bland. Raisins is an unexpected addition but unsuccessful in my view. Kids grilled cheese - 4/5. Tasty and simple, though my kid wasn't willing to try. Duck and dumpling - 3.5/5. I can see how this is someone's favorite dish. Lovely rich broth. Crispy skin. But there was a heaviness that didn't totally work for me, especially with the bigger duck chunks. Definitely better fresh than leftover. Chocolate beer cake - 3.5/5. Slightly dense cake. Nice frosting. Beer aroma and flavor definitely comes through. Hazelnuts a nice crunch. Fun and glad to have tried, but not reaching for the next bite.

They played good music and wasn't too loud. You could easily carry on a conversation or , like me, continue listening to a podcast. By the time I finished, the place was completely full and a bit noisy, but not bad. I started out with a 10oz Birds of Prey Pilsner. It was very nice. Light and crisp and very easy to drink. I followed that up with Melodious Maibock and ordered the CBG burger with fries. I didn't have lunch so I dove right in and forgot to snap a photo. It was a very good smash burger. It was cooked well and I really liked the combination of pickled onion and caramelized onion. I didn't see it until later but you can add bacon. As much as I loved this burger, bacon would totally take it up a notch! I started chatting with the bartender about their different beers and decided to have the Super Melodious Jalapeño Maibock with the burger. It's soooo different, but in a good way. It paired so well with the burger. You get green bell pepper on the nose and a hint of it on the palate. When you swallow you get a little heat at the back of the throat. It was so good! Great bar. Great food. Great beer. Go check them out!

If you want to hang out at a brewery and drink amazing beer, I'd probably choose one of the other breweries in town.
