Great social atmosphere, owners are wonderful people and the customers are fairly engaging and friendly. Adam has quite a bit of knowledge about brewing beer and is happy to share and explain all the variances and esoterics of the process. I really enjoy having this place in town! It's beautifully low-key and convenient, and ayone visiting the area needs to bookmark The Hop on their itinerary.

The space is comfortable and enjoyable. We'd already eaten dinner, so this was drinks and relaxing for a bit. I enjoyed my Wheelhouse Wheat and Mrs. K. had a non-alcoholic cream soda. We had a great hour and will definitely return. A true delight. [Review 688 of 2026 - 341 in Kentucky - 25869 overall]

I had time to grab a single pour/pint as well and it was also nice. Some good stouts, lagers, and IPAs. Decor is nice, place is clean. I think the only thing holding them back from a full 5 in my book is a few simple fresh food options (some pretzels or tortilla chips, etc.) would be nice--but that's a minor point.

Parking is behind the restaurant. The restaurant was very clean. We ordered the cheesy bread and then created our own 8 inch pizzas. We ordered the red sauce for dipping the cheesy bread, and it was served cold. We didn't love the sauce, but honestly the cheesy bread was really good on its own. For the pizzas they have plenty of toppings to choose from. I went with pepperoni, bell peppers, and onion. My husband had the same but also added sausage. The crust was so good. Pizza had good flavor and was cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back!

Ebb & Flow Fermentations in Cape Girardeau was a great stop. I had the Chicken Bowl (Little River…read moreBowl), and it was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and filling without being too heavy. They brew their own beer, with a focus on sours and saisons. Those aren't really my style, so I stuck with water, but if you're into those varieties, you'll probably enjoy the selection. The atmosphere was one of the highlights. I sat inside, but they also have a large, spacious outdoor patio that looked like a fantastic place to relax and hang out. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely go back for the food and the vibe.

Beer and pizza for our last stop in Kentucky before retiring for the night nearby. Paducah Beer…read moreWerks is a neat spot - it's the former Greyhound station and you can tell. The luggage lockers are still here, the large parking lot and massive overhangs for huge coach buses, the industrial rest rooms and the signage. There is some character and flavor going on here. Inside and outside seating, which was nice on a cool evening with fire pits going. We sat inside. Beers and pizza ordered, neither took very long. Super hot, super delicious and loaded up with cheese. The pizza was excellent and so was the service. After two beers and we'd polished off the pie, we were off. I enjoyed PBW and would definitely return when I'm passing through Paducah. [Review 281 of 2025 - 296 in Kentucky - 23844 overall]
