What's Hoppin' at the Brewery?
Frequently Asked Questions
- What's up with growlers?
- We will fill almost any growler, ours or your own. The only growlers we no longer fill are the small neck flip top 32oz bottles or the flip top 750ml bottles. This is due to the equipment we use to fill and the waste experienced when filling those particular bottles. Please ensure your growler is clean prior to bringing it in; we reserve the right to refuse a fill if we find the growler to be in poor condition.
- Can I bring in outside alcohol?
- Absolutely no outside alcohol is allowed in the brewery. This is an ABC law and there are no exceptions.
- Do you take reservations and book private parties?
- We can reserve tables for your party Sunday thru Thursday. We no longer take reservations for Friday and Saturday. Please give us a call to reserve a table. We currently do not rent out our space for private events.
- Can I buy a keg?
- Our license does allow for direct to customer sales of kegs. We offer 1/6 barrel kegs and require a $100 fully refundable deposit on all keg sales. Kegs are sold on a first come, first served basis. We also take pre-orders for kegs based on what is coming out next. Please inquire with the bar staff to reserve a keg.
- Can I tour the brewery?
