Hop Tree Brewing

 

Nice local place with a small selection of beer at any given time. Beers are average to good. Service has been friendly.

The tasting room was very clean and modern. It had a nice friendly feel. Plenty of people there. Lots of calm quiet conversations, nothing loud, nothing boisterous. Bar tender was friendly, attentive, helpful and informative. The beers were all drinkable. Some were quite good. I will definitely be coming to this place again.

Holy crap this place is massive. Pulling in I thought it was going to be like one of those warehouse breweries where only a small portion of the building would be the customer facing side. However, they built out a much larger space than these tend to have, featuring restaurant style seating, bar floor seating, a couple of couches, and a long L-shaped bar that's quite sizeable. The space is very high walled and maybe a little echoey, as warehouses can be, but its also well thought out and made more welcoming than you'd expect.

The taplist is fairly small, but supplemented by wines and meads. They have a few permanent handles, and a slightly larger amount of rotating handles. All of the beer I had was of a good quality, but some was a little off-style, like a Stout that was in the 4% range, making it more of a Porter in both ABV and overall feel/taste.

What I took away from my visit here was the food. It's a mostly Greek and Mediterranean inspired menu, and all the food we had was of a higher quality than most breweries tend to have. It was quite tasty and will be the primary reason I come back. Service is attentive and prompt as well.
