I love this place! It has everything I look for in a craft brewery - bold, original flavors, a small, tasting room where it's easy to chat with other patrons, and friendly service. The flight comes with mini oyster crackers which are great for clearing your palette, and the beers were all decadent and delicious! read more

Absolutely fantastic beers here. They have the standard cast of craft beers like wheat beers, stouts, and IPA's, but the stars of the show are their fruit flavored ones! Cherry CheeseQuake is hard to categorize...it tastes just like what you would think, but the consistency is more smoothie than beer. The Orange-gasmic eventually ended up being my favorite. Think Orange Julius with a hint of orange creamsicle. If you want beer that doesn't taste anything like beer, this is the one to get. Tastes more like a cocktail and with a meager 5.1 % ABV, you can quaff it all day and it seemingly never catches up with you. Service was great and the atmosphere is a wee bit cramped, but comfy. The parking lot is the only gripe I have. It's a dirt parking lot, so if you come here on a wet day, you will have a dirty car. Otherwise, this place quickly became a top 5 brewery in the area. It's a must visit, especially for people looking to crack into the craft beer scene without worrying about finding something delicious and memorable. read more

Very tiny. I was stuck in the car because the parking lot is gravel and a lot of potholes. They had picnic tables but again I couldn't use cause the gravel and cars blocking and the chair wouldn't fit through. My daughter did bring the beer to the passenger side and stood while we shared a flight. Both our favorite was the Mexican lager. The Betty was OK, but the other 3 I didn't care for, especially the pickle beer. read more

I love a brewery that offers fun and unique flavored beers and Hoppy Dudes definitely lives up to that. I like that there is something to please everyone--whether you like IPAs, stouts, fruity beers, etc. My favorites in the flight I tried were the Betty White stout and the spicy pickle beer. One thing to note is that it's very small inside and has limited seating, so going with a big group may be difficult. Everyone who works there is so very kind and the woman behind the bar added to our experience! Can't wait for their other location to open! read more

Visited Hoppy Dudes with friends on Saturday afternoon and it was Standing Room Only, which is pretty much the standard there since it's so small. Beers were OK - good selection and low prices. Flights were available which was great for trying different beers. There is popcorn and chips available for purchase but no other food. Staff were super friendly and so were the customers. Definitely recommend! read more

Went due to them being in two different bar crawls. I got a flight of five beers. All were not bad but one I really loved and another was very pleasant to drink too. The strawberry blonde I enjoyed so much that it is now one of my favorites. The Mexican lager was also very enjoyable. The buzzard brew and cropduster we very bland but at least didn't taste bad. Red ales usually are my go to but theirs was funky, it was a chug just to get rid of it. Tiny little place and it was packed. The poor bartender was surprised by all the people but she remained friendly and pleasant. read more

A really small place with a huge beer flavor profile. I've had 2 different flights of 5 beers from here and I've never had a bad beer. They don't have much seating inside but their patio is very nice and I highly recommend read more

On a 5 stop brewery crawl day, this was by far the most creative beer spot: pickle and spicy pickle gose(s) plus the vanilla cherry chocolate stout. So sad that I forgot the growler at home but I'll be back to try the chocolate nut lovers stout when it's back in stock. They have both indoor and outdoor seating but come early as the place is small but the beer and service is outstanding. read more

Hoppy Dude Brews - 6 in a flight - Breweries Near Me - Hinckley, Ohio

Great first time visit. The beers were so much better than most breweries- the coconut is like a lager with a shot of Malibu in it. Yes!!! The patio is relaxing and occasionally they have music. They did when we were there making the patio perfect. Inside is small. While they don't have food some ordered from across the street, Fosters, and walked to get it. So wish they at least had chips/pretzels in bags. Definitely going back. read more

Love hoppy dude. Everyone that works there is very friendly.Love the Bloody pickle beer( Bloody Mary)

So many delicious beers and the ladies behind the bar really made the experience. The strawberry blonde ale and blueberry spiked seltzer were my favorites, but other guests were raving about their porters and stouts (dark beers are not my jam, so I didn't try either.) Just a really fun atmosphere and tasty beers. read more

They don't serve food, but tried a Mexican beer and it was great. Bands play in the parking lot, so bring snacks and chairs. We visited when Lake FX was performing and they were great!!! read more

This is one of my new favorite local breweries. While I was there on a self-guided brewery tour we got to meet and talk with one of the owners. He gave us the story of how he came to open the brewery with one of his buddies and how he started brewing beer. The place is very small but who cares when they produce delicious beers! They had an outside patio area that they were renovating to be able to have bands come to play and have more space for people to hang out. They had a decent size list of beers to choose from and I enjoyed them all. When you have an experience of getting to hear the story about how a place opened and every step they went through to start their business, it always gives you a stronger appreciation for business owners. read more

The Betty Davis Beer is delicious and the people are very friendly! ( Not just the staff but also the patrons.)

Great neighborhood place for a drink. When we were there, the two women behind the bar were a big part of the positive experience. They were funny and helpful in getting our party of six drinks we enjoyed. If you're gluten free, try the spiked tea. Small indoor seating with more room outside. Many days there's a food truck to complement the menu. read more

great people and great beer!!! my favorite is the peach tea! We have been to this brewery about 12 times in the past year and a half and it never disappoint! read more

I have toured all the local breweries as many of the guys and gals who love breweries seem to do and this one is a new favorite. I have spoke with the owner while I was there and he was a super nice dude. We have tried just about everything they've had on tap the times we were there and everything has been excellent. My two favorites are the cherry vanilla stout and a the Peanut Butter stout. I am super excited about this place and I hope as they grow they stay true to the excellent flavor profiles. I am going back again soon, you should too. read more

Amazing beers and an awesome tea drink . The staff is phenomenal. We stopped for the pub crawl, but unfortunately the pubs were all out of the souvenir glasses. We at least met some wonderful people and will definitely be back. read more

Need to tighten up. Carbonation on all beers was non-existent. Pickle goses when done right (like Urban Artifact) are fantastic, but this version just tasted (and due to lack of carbonation) looked like pickle brine. The imperial IPA was unexpectedly a malt bomb. Nice outdoor space though. read more

By far some of the best craft I have ever had. The hoppy dude IPA is smooth and amazing. I am from Columbus and this was a very nice unexpected surprise on my visit to northern Ohio. read more

Great new little brewery just starting up in Hinckley! Loved the Zero Beer Thirty IPA!
