Hop Forged Brewing Company

Hop Forged Brewing Co. the place you come to hang out. Good beers, chill vibes and nice atmosphere. Whenever in Hanford, this always seems to be the escape. This place has evolved quite a bit over the years but cannot deny the progress. They seem to have a rotating fun nights now but I will always regress to a relaxing weekend atmosphere here.

Stopped in here on Sunday after dinner across the street at a Yelp elite event. We were parked right in front of the brewery and didn't even notice it until we were about to drive back to Fresno. Once we saw the open sign, we knew we had to try this place. Our beer tender was incredibly friendly and told us about the history of the brewery and how it was all brewed right in the basement now, which ran the length of the taproom. Our beers were super tasty, albeit as expensive as you expect for craft beer. Just makes you appreciate your single beer more, really. Overall, a great first impression for Hop Forged and definitely a place worth stopping in if you are in Hanford.

I went here for a meeting. They had great micheladas. The service was spectacular. I was glad I ended up coming because I would have never known about their Micheladas. Ambiance was very clean and brewery style.

My girlfriend took me here for the first time. I'm not really familiar with Hanford, but I don't think there's a whole lot to do, but this is a great pit stop before riding the Amtrak. They had a lot of variety of beer and use Untappd. The only thing I didn't like about this place is it's kid friendly. I got to bars to escape kids not have them run around the place. I drank one beer and left I couldn't handle the chaos.

Just coming back on to post more photos. I took a lot of videos but for some reason it won't let me put those on here. Hmmm...

Beer is OK. Not sure what their vision is other than to make beer but that's all you get is BEER. The food? It's only hotdogs and they're not much better than what they serve at my daughter's softball league. The bun was moist which means it came out of a bag that was in a hot or humid area. No sides other than chips. For all I know, it's chips from Costco. This brewery is so/so but then again it's in Hanford so expectations are pretty low. Has the ability to be great but you can tell there's not vision. So sad.

I came here today for a nice Sunday brew. I ordered the tropical IPA and it was delicious. The girl serving was attentive and provided great service. Overall, great small brewery!

This is a great brewery in a lot of ways. They just started selling hot dogs but other than that they don't sell food here but there's plenty of places on the same street to eat and on Thursdays there's typically a farmers market in downtown with more options for food as well. On Fridays they have live music and it's a nice thing to look forward to after a hard week at work in this small town. This brewery is relatively new and a popular spot in town. They have a set of core beers, rotating beers, and some nice experimental brews. My favorites are the fruited series, every flavor has been very pleasant, the Vanilla Main Street Blonde is very nice and refreshing; similar to Cali Creamin', the Downtown JJ Brown Hazelnut Brown Ale is another good choice! The Blood Orange Wheat Ale is an honorable mention!A really cool thing I have never seen at a brewery is Micheladas on tap. I love them and think they are very flavorful. This is also a dog friendly establishment which is another plus. The Bartenders are always respectful and polite. There's really no reason to not go here if you want some tasty beer, good atmosphere, and great service!

Katelyn was amazing, best service in town! extremely friendly and on top of her game. felt like I was apart of the family.

We love Hop Forged. Friendly staff, great beers, fun atmosphere. Thank you Hop Forged!
