Absolutely love this place. They have a great selection of beer including some incredible bourbon barrel aged choices and exceptional IPA's. Their new lakeside location has a great vibe with an outdoor tiki hut type feeling. The food has always been good but SWEET BABY JESUS - their new Detroit style pizza is off the chart!!! Probably the best Detroit style pizza south of the border. read more

What to say about this place. 1. Seat yourself. Yeah when you have a large party like we did, it's pretty hard to get a table. We tried to put two tables together and were told that "it would stick out" and then had to wait for another table next to one to leave so that our party would be separated. 2. The food is WAY overpriced for what you get. I order a Philly cheesesteak and it's $12 just for the sandwich! No sides that's an extra $1.50. Someone in our party ordered the sampler and that was tiny too for $23. The cheesesteak was this little thing in a tiny hoagie. 3. Their "boneless wings" were pretty much chicken nuggets and in no way shape or form would you consider "wings". We also ordered our sauces on the side and had to build our own PB&J sauce on our "wings" and the sauce was not even good. 4. The service was terrible. Besides seating ourselves and the table fiasco, the server took 20 minutes to come to our table and had an attitude just taking our order. When someone in our party couldn't figure out what they wanted instead of making a suggestion, the server rudely said "I'll just comeback." And walked away, they came back 10 minutes later and when our person order they walked away before the person could add or change anything to their order. I had to also order a refill on my soda and felt ignored. Let's just say this is a one and done for me and would not recommend this place to anyone read more

Food was great as always! Service was fast and friendly. Blake was our server. He kept it lively between jokes and safely corralling the bees. read more

Great atmosphere, great service and the pizza is the best around. Love the new location. Highly recommend!

Dakota our server was amazing. She was friendly, kind and kept us informed. the food was wonderful. I highly recommend Hoplore brewing.

Taco Tuesday! Good food; good beverages; and friendly service. I prefer the PB and J Taco. Plus we had tiramisu and cannolis. They were very good. read more

The building is one of a kind that makes it special. Set up for both families and couples with a brewery and restaurant all in one. The beer selection was good and the guys behind the bar were very helpful in picking the right beer. read more

This is a cool spot and the people are really friendly. I haven't tired the food, but the beer is excellent My favorite is the peach colada smoothie. Just everything you'd expect from that type of beer. Well done and delicious. read more

I liked the beer and food was amazing especially the tacos. It a has unique atmosphere and friendly service.

Really cool place inside and out with great beer. I'm going to go back. Great place to chill out.

The beer was good and the food was delicious at a good price. It has a nice setting to it

I'm glad we stopped and tried this place, but it's not really my thing. When we walked in, it took a minute to figure out how things worked....noone was around to greet or seat us, so we went to the bartender and he took our order even letting me know which foods might have an allergen. Our food came out in a timely manner, but we were one of maybe 3 groups there so that wasn't surprising. Unfortunately the food was really bland. Like...really really bland...and within 15 minutes of leaving, I started to show signs of having eaten something I am allergic to. Maybe it was cross contamination, maybe it was just him not knowing for sure what ingredients are used, but that is dangerous. Food allergies are no joke, especially when it causes anaphylaxis. It seems a lot of people enjoy this spot, and I hope they continue to support this local business, but I won't be visiting again. read more

Excellent beer and food in an interesting building. People are nice and seriously the food is fantastic. Highly recommend this place. The smoked Salmon fish dip was way better than I have had in the U.P. Of Michigan. read more

Wow! Really impressed with this cool spot. Built in a former grain mill, next to the railroad tracks in sleepy Leesburg, IN. Plenty of outdoor seating that is protected from sun and rain. Parking seemed to get a bit tight as the evening wore on, but folks were parked in the grass and seemed to make do. Extremely friendly and patient service. We ordered a flight first. You fill out a piece of paper with your four choices and they serve them up on a numbered board. Generous pours. I really liked their beers. I especially enjoyed The Fury of Vic Citra IPA, the No-Bake Cookie Porter (I enjoy beers brewed with peanut butter) and the Milford Ditch black IPA. The Milford Ditch was so tasty that I ended up getting a full pour in addition to my flight tasting. Wish they had it in bottles or at least to-go in a growler, but unfortunately, they did not. Would have loved to bring that one home to Bloomington. The food is also very good. I was seriously not expecting to find such delicious food in this neck of the woods. No offense to those of you who live in the area. The house-smoked brisket sandwich was perhaps the best I have EVER had. The slaw and chips were good too. My friends had the tacos and the hummus and snack plates. My partner loved the tacos, she chose to go meatless and instead just had the smoked black beans and slaw. She loved it. We had so much fun that we ended up buying two of their porter glasses with their logo on them. Highly recommend this place. If you like great beer and great food, this spot is for you. read more

Amazing food and amazing brews in an awesome facility. When I was there, I tried the beer cheese pretzels. I'm having a hard time coming up with an example of a place with a pretzel/cheese combination served elsewhere that comes close to how good these were. In the beverage department, I had the amazing opportunity to try Smells Like Disc Golf on release day. Every IPA I've ever had from Hoplore has been of the highest quality, but this was especially fresh and delicious. The deck is a great cool hangout spot on a hot summer day! Love Hoplore! read more

The good news, they have OK beer.... That's where the positives ended. The outside seating area was covered in bird crap, the paint is peeling off of the building, the server is not very friendly(maybe he is to regulars, but I'll never find out), the food was overpriced and lacked flavor, & the general vibe was not positive. I know the options in Leesburg are limited, but if I lived in town I'd have to move... Save yourself the time and find somewhere that works as hard to earn your money as you do to make it. I really wanted to like the place after reading all of the positive reviews, but I don't. read more

Worth the trip to Leesburg. HopLore is a hidden gem in the small town of Leesburg and is in an old feed mill. Loved the atmosphere, great beer...both their own & guest taps, and food. They smoke their own meats. Husband and daughter had the house special - smoked brisket sandwich and I had the Korean bbq tacos, it was all delicious. read more

This brewery is located on the outskirts of Leesburg next to a farm field and a RailRoad tracks. The brewery is house in a old granary. It's is a super cool space that you immediately feel welcome in. Our bartender Blake was super helpful and took time to explain not only their beers but all the beers they have on tap. He recommended the Milford Ditch triple IPA. It was super tasty. We had the Bavarian Pretzels with hot beer cheese and the prime rib sandwich special. It was fabulous!!!! Definitely worth the drive down. read more

We went out to eat for the first time In ages. Hopelore advertised having smoked Ruben on st Patrick day so we came here. Place was busy but we decided to stay and order food. 45 minutes later I asked one of the helpers about our food. He replies that they were swamped. An hour and a half later I flagged down another person who then apologized and got our food ready to carry out. He also didn't charge us for the food. I like their beers, but if you are going to be a restaurant then you need to get better wait staff and follow up with your customers. read more

I recently used HopLore as the venue to host a surprise 50th for my mom. They were super easy to work with, well priced, the food provided for catering was delicious (and they picked the menu, not me), beer/cider was fantastic, and the staff was super helpful and polite throughout our time there. I've also been to HopLore for a work event about a year ago and have also gone on my own a couple times to have a drink and dinner. Every time has been awesome! read more

Beers were good to great. Ribs were dry rub style. Flavor good but not fall-off-the-bone grrat.

Wow! Just driving on a back road and what we see, a brewing house that is awesome! We got the bbq charcuterie board that was out of this world. Then their taco's were really good! Then they had a special today-seafood Pho, who would have thought. The HopLore Blackberry Cobbler has a great taste. Great IPA's and a band on Saturday. Glad we stopped! By the way, the bartenders Blake and Jane were the best! read more

The people that work here are very nice and will ask you what kind of beers you like to drink, they're very knowledgeable. Great food. Lots of places to park! I try to come here every other weekend. You won't find a bad beer. Update: I had one sample of a beer, and then when I asked for a second one, they got real tight about it and asked me how many beers I had sampled? I think that may just be some of the people that work there. Everyone else was very nice. read more

Just opened 4 weeks ago and the their brew is pretty good. We tried a flight and ended up drinking their Hoplore Magic Powder. They have a BBQ menu which was pretty good as well! It's a little out of the way, but worth the drive from Goshen! read more

Yeah. HopLore Brewery finally opened. Had a sweet cider and BBQ. The atmosphere is awesome. It's in the Old Leesburg Mill. They brew their own beer and have a wide selection of local brewed beer. The owners are really nice and will get you the right selection for your taste buds. Plus, all the food is homemade. read more

We had such a nice time! They have kept the old feel of what the mill looked like with a fun twist! Food was amazing! Gin basil lemonade was amazing!! read more

This place is pretty under the radar for the area but I have to say not bad, good vibes and community oriented, the beers are a little too expensive, $6 for a 12 oz, a flight or 4 6 ozers is $10 but the real winner is their brisket, it was fantastic! Will go back! read more

I love this place...it's located to the east of town across the tracks in a building designated the old mill...great place. The beers are as good as they come and the prices are excellent. I would not have imagined that the food would be as good as it was but it is created and tasty and will not break the budget by a long shot. Its such a tiny brewery but they have plenty of beers to sample. If you go be sure to order the house-made pulled pork tacos topped with jalapeno strawberry jam and Amish style peanut butter...very good and worthy of any place that serves beer! read more

Great local watering hole. Great brews, pretty good snacky type food. Shoot the bull with the owner and head brewer as you sip a tasty brew. read more

The beer is very good and there are lots of choices. The food is always outstanding. But keep in mind this place is about the beer and the menu rotates daily and is freshly made. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable. I'm pleased to have them in my neighborhood! read more

I really liked this place. Just in town playing at the lake and went here for dinner. A couple of good ipa s on a flight and a really good brisket sandwich. Good atmosphere on Friday night. read more

Love HopLore! Great music and beers! Awesome staff! Now we need to get in there and have some food!

It's about an hour's drive for us, and we picked a snowy, windy day. Didn't matter. Great service, surprisingly good beer and tacos and a hot dog that were just terrific. Better than expected for a relatively new brewery in a little tiny flyspec of a town that boasts no stoplights. Really nice. read more

Hoplore is so laid back and fun. They have good beer and food. Staff is amazing. I highly recommend that you check this place out.

Awesome food! I love their Cowboy nachos.. They have yummy house made BBQ sauces and some of the best BBQ pork and brisket I've had since moving to Indiana. Always Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I am not a beer drinker but my husband is. HopLore is one of his favorite places. He brings everyone who loves beer here when they come to visit.. Ilove that they have options for the non alcohol drinkers. Like their house made root beer, which is delicious!! They have FREE ice cold water and also offer cold 20oz coke products. You can sometimes enjoy live music here too. read more

Lovely place just getting started and doing it right and keeping it simple. We sampled several of their own beers along with some that were on a tap take over for the weekend. We all preferred their craft brews hands down. They have a limited menu but if you like BBQ you're in for a treat with their brisket or pulled pork to choose from or get both with the platter. Definitely worth a visit. read more
