Join us for our 7th annual Hoptoberfest! This year's event features our favorite celebration of facial hair - our famous BEARD COMPETITION - and we challenge you to test your strength in our STEIN-HOLDING CONTEST. Be sure to arrive hungry because Cousins Maine Lobster has all your food cravings covered, and grab a pint of this year's release of HOPTOBERFEST marzen!

Please join us for The Bar at the Bar, a regular program that will provide information concerning legal topics of interest to non-lawyers! Local attorney Bob Ison will present a short program entitled, “Real Property Law & Leases,” and allow time for a Q & A session.

Our favorite annual celebration is back! This year's family-friendly Hoptoberfest features a mix of new and old with the return of Hoptown's only stein-holding contest and beard competition, as well as the new additions of SILENT DISCO and Junior Auxiliary's famous pork chop sandwiches! Annnnnnnd, best of all, our annual Hoptoberfest marzen will be released when the taproom opens at 12pm.

Do you have a beard? Do you own more hair-care products than your wife/mother/all the women in your life COMBINED? Best of all: does your beard rival our brewer's? (And no, he's not allowed to enter the competition.)

We've teamed up with our friends at The Miller's Son to bring the ultimate beard competition to the brewery! Our judges include barbers, brewers, and people who know and love beards.
