Hopvine Pub 20th Anniversary Week
Hopvine Pub News
Hopvine 20th Anniversary week. September 28th through October 3rd 2015
The Hopvine is celebrating 20 years on 15th Ave East serving the best in craft beer combined with comforting food and a pub setting that welcomes its neighbors. The focus is on the best in craft beer and we take pride in working with many of our brewer friends to showcase their products in the best possible way. We only have 12 taps ensuring quick pour through and constant freshness. A short draw from keg to tap and weekly tap and line cleaning also make for the best beer experience. Over the years we have introduced many new beers to our friends on 15th Ave E, long before craft became common. Our beer list for 20 years has been hop forward, adventuresome and always fresh. We have encouraged our customers to meet the brewers behind the beers in our Brewer Night series.
Along with the beer we have become known for our chef-inspired soups and comfort food. Chef Congdon has been creating food to deliciously pair with craft beer in a kitchen that is incredibly small but not creatively limiting. We wouldn’t be the pub we are without the amazing people who bring the beer and food to life at the Hopvine. The Hopvine has an amazing crew.
We have a series of events that highlight what we have done over the years. You are invited to enjoy what we think will be a fantastic week. There will be at least 20 unique and wonderful beers released throughout the week from our brewer friends. There will be anniversary beers brewed specially for us and cellared beers that we guarantee will blow your mind.
