IT’S HAPPENING! Since we announced that The Good Hop was up for sale, many of you have been poking around trying to figure out what the future holds for your favorite craft beer bar. We are very pleased to announce that we are passing the torch to two people who respect the vision we started with 10 years ago, understand what this bar has come to represent to the community, and who know craft beer inside and out.

Kathryn and I have been lucky to be the stewards at the helm of The Good Hop for 10 incredibly fun, heartfelt, and crazy years. It’s been a wild ride, to say the least. The Good Hop has created a community of its own. First, it found honor from the brewing community as an industry hangout. Then its personality was shaped by the bartenders who passed through here and our regulars who found a home here.

Which is why we’re thrilled that The Good Hop’s new owners will be Adam and Monica. Adam’s craft beer chops are solid, having worked at Ghost Town, Cellarmaker, Toronado, and here at The Good Hop, just to name a few. Adam’s partner, Monica, first became part of The Good Hop family during its first month of being open—being a huge fan of craft beer, dive bars, and Underbergs. Honestly, this could not have been a better fit, and we are so very honored to have Monica and Adam steward The Good Hop into its next iteration. They have many fresh ideas for the bar that we can’t wait to see what happens next!

This is a long process and there will be more info/celebrations (read: EPIC party) as we move closer to handing over the keys to these awesome folks. As always, we will be as transparent as possible during the transition. But today, today we celebrate keeping The Good Hop going in all its glory!

We will all be around today when we open so please come in and raise a pint with us! Cheers 🍻

Rolling around to that glorious (or annoying if you’re a cis white dude who doesn’t understand why we can’t just keep this stupid woke s**t to ourselves so they can go back to buying their beer in peace like the good old days) time of the year where we are going to remind all of you that we are very much out and proud that we are a woman-owned, and lesbian-owned business.

We are grateful that we live in an area where that isn’t an anomaly the way it was 10 years ago when we opened and are reminded that there are many people who are still living lives of secrecy in countries where you can be killed for living your authentic life.

So yeah, it’s and we will be reminding you that we have a . It involves getting as many people to be passionate about craft beer.
