    Beer good, no beer bad!

    We stopped in here for beer. Beer ME! Ah, a cold one! I had their pale ale. It was a bit on the hoppy side but the flavors were well balanced. The spidering on the glass tells me that the brewers took extra steps to make their beer a great beer. It is. I wish I lived close to this place, if I did everyone who works here would know my name.

    Closed except for takeout only during the pandemic. Walk in the Canal Park building and check it out. They have Chili beers made with Hatch Green Chilis (the best in all the world! This is a brewery that we had not heard about, but we were happy to discover them in Canal Park of Duluth!

    A beautiful and charming space in a grand old warehouse along the Duluth Harbor Basin, we stumbled upon Hoops Brewing Company's tap room while staying in Duluth for a winter birding trip. They have an extensive craft beer list of ales, lagers and stouts. We e joyed great service - I love that you can grab a menu and take a seat and your server comes to you, as opposed to having to wait at the bar. And they encourage you to bring in outside food - or try their excellent pretzels with beer cheese dipping sauce. This family- friendly space is a great spot to hang out.

    We've long been fans of Dave Hoops and were excited to try his new venture out. We were not disappointed. Visually, the place is stunning. We have been to a lot of taprooms and this one is beautiful. It's large but it's warm and inviting at the same time. The wooden decor is really fitting, and I could not stop ogling at the huge thick wooden beams holding the whole place up. There is the requisite glass window that shows off the brewing tanks and fancy beer equipment. I will say it was slightly confusing about whether you needed to wait to be seated or could just sit anywhere. There is table service, which was a nice and unexpected surprise. There are games to play and a nice, relaxed vibe. And of course, the beer is delicious. Take a crowler or two home.

    Good beer, not pet friendly! It's a great place for beer and friends, we really enjoyed the music at the bar next door, completely open space except a low wall that divides The Ripple bar from Hoops. Very odd, they need to combine some how. Or just make Hoops dog friendly and I will walk through The Ripple bar just like everyone else. I had to sit on one side of the wall(larger beer sel) while my wife and 2 dogs sat on the other side. We sat face to face but in 2 totally different establishments. One dog friendly the other not. We just love to have our kids (dogs) with us. The other kids grew up.

    Great selection. My husband and I tasted at least 7 different beers and couldn't decide which we liked best, they were all so tasty.

    Hotel bar with a "pub" and no table service. Not something we'd seek out, but decent last minute…read morefood for basically a bar. Drinks: Multiple local taps for $4-5; the taps were great. Overheard a couple of people be dissatisfied with their drink ($6.50 for quick pour on a White Russian). Had one cider in a tall boy from the twin cities for $7. Wife also had a flat cola. It was busy, in the setting of one bartender. She was nice. Doesn't really provide table service, moreso going to the bar to order and pick stuff up. There's a menu online. This was NOT what we saw when we showed up. They had a burger, fish and chips, pulled pork sliders, Caesar wrap, and appetizers. Based on the online menu and the outdoor patio, we were expecting more of a pub. Wisconsin cheese curds were okay.... didn't find much nostalgia from my Wisconsin childhood; some were more breading than cheese. The sauce with them were good though! Tater kegs better than expected. Chicken Caesar Wrap had some pretty dang tasty chips from whatever bag they came. The ratios were high in lettuce, less so of chicken and Parmesan

    The only reason they got a star is because you can't give zero!! Food.....the fish looked like it…read morewas cooked in oil from 2019, the burger was obviously a frozen piece of (meat?), the fries cooked in the same nasty oil as the fish. HORRIBLE! Service......nice lady, lost soul, not her fault. If you go there on purpose, you will be disappointed. Worst ever!!
