Hop and Barrel

Did you say beer? Great place to stop and have a delicious and refreshing beer. They have a lovely outdoor space to sit and relax in the sun or play some "bags". They also have a 2 rooms inside to relax...one much larger room with games/pinball (video) and even a free little library. They also have their own parking lot...huge deal in downtown Hudson! I also have to give kudos to one of my fav parts of this brewery - the 4 individual bathrooms! Each one has a changing station! (Applause) they even give out free stickers if their can labels.

Super cool Main Street store front featuring a bar upon entry with a very large and open seating space with a stage to the left. Staff is super friendly. Service was quick. All glassware all super clean, giving the beers a nice lacing. A solid 15+ beers on tap along with a beer slushee and n/a slushee option. The beers are, decent. Doesn't pack a wow factor but they are all pretty good. I'm going to throw this one a 4.0 up top by I would say 3.5.

Lots of beers to try in the taproom and the also have board games, etc. you can play while you're enjoying their beer. Service was very friendly, I was talking with the bar tender about how I don't enjoy IPAs and she had me try a couple samples of their cloudy IPAs that don't have the IPA bitterness. As a non-IPA fan I really enjoyed them and recommend my fellow non-IPA fans give them a try. I also recommend the Lactose Panda milk stout if you enjoy stouts/darker beers.They seem to have all kinds of events here including music, trivia, and even wrestling matches. I'd be a regular here if I lived in the area (way too cold for me) and I'll stop by for sure if I'm ever in the area again.

After lunch decided to stop in here for a quick flight of beers. Unfortunately nothing really stood out to us with the exception of one or two beers.

I went here with Debra R, Jose R and a couple of people a few days ago. I had the breakfast ale. Debra R had a stout beer. The other people had a stout and a light color beer. I also got a cute hat. The beer was good and the service was good too. The place has some cool pinball machines and an industrial ambiance that I enjoyed.

Hop and barrel is located in a great spot in downtown hudson, street parking and a parking lot which is awesome, we all know how difficult it is to find parking during the weekend in Hudson. They have a huge space where they have live music and a large patio. All of the beer tenders are super fun and friendly, always great service at HB. You should definitely stay up to date with their events it seems like they always have something fun going on.

Great place - great beer!The beer selection is awesome, many interesting flavors. Whether you like mild or wild, hoppy or dark, Hop & Barrel is sure to have a beer that you'll love.We stopped in to eat our Dragon Pearl takeout food. Wow, what a great concept! This is a wonderful way to sell beer and to help people that want to eat food that's only available for takeout during COVID.The customer service was very good. Dragon Pearl neglected to give us any chop sticks or plastic sporks. But an employee at H & B managed to find a couple for us. That's really going the extra mile (since they don't serve food). It was much appreciated.Hop & Barrel is huge and roomy. They also have a big off-street parking lot.We'll be back with more takeout.Thank you, Hop & Barrel. Thumbs up!-Daddy Maxx Retro

We went in today to grab a beer and brought in our takeout food to eat.Great beer as always! We've been here a handful of times and the beer never disappoints. They allow dogs inside and out. We sat inside with the pup and it was very spaced out and social distanced. Everyone was wearing masks and it was great. It's such a big place, with 2 big indoor areas and a nice gated outdoor area as well.Service was good and friendly. We got the double IPA, crooked grin and hazy IPA. All good! Will be back.

No frills tap room, but did have some games and other flights of fancy available if one would want to keep themselves entertained. But that's not the reason we stopped by. We stopped for the beer. And the beers we tried were pretty good. I had an amber ale and a helles. They were good. My friend had a sour and something else for the second round I cannot remember. Sorry, blame that on age and the alcohol. Still, was honestly impressed with their beer. Very drinkable with a nice range of styles and ABVs. So, if you're a beer drinker, you'll definitely find something here to like. Unfortunately, since we had to drive, we couldn't spend as much time trying more on the menu as I would've liked. Oh, well. There's always next time to stop by to at least see what the seasonal brew is.

We came for one beer and stayed for two + the games! Excellent local brewery with a lot to offer. Friendly, genuine and laidback staff. Good beer. I ordered a sour. There were two options. One that was SUPER sour and one more mellow base that you could add one of three flavors to. I went with the Key Lime Sour and loved it. I was provided with comp samples before I landed on my sour of choice, which was appreciated. We walked in on a Friday around 5pm. It was not busy. Ample seating both inside by the bar and out in the back space that has a nice, big garage style door to let in fresh air. There is literally something for everyone at this place - which I loved. There is a free little library at the back, gender neutral bathrooms, a whiteboard where you can answer the question of the day (maybe question of the week/month), a cheeky "test your love" machine which my Fiancé and I both did (was only 25 cents!) They also had a large ring game set up (I don't know if this has a proper name but I only ever see this in Wisconsin and it has the T/Y shaped base). This was the most popular game among patrons while we were here and didn't cost anything to play. There was even a huge Hammer-Schlagen game set up outside under a tent. Quick note on parking - we parked over by the river and walked over to Hop & Barrel. Street parking may be an issues pending on the time of day you visit.
