I haven’t gone out with John in a few weeks and we thought we would mark the occasion by doing a little mid week pub crawl… Decided to visit our 3 favorite local area Beer establishments…
Founders, Hop Cat, and our home base… New Holland Brewery.
At Founders, I had one of my favorites, their Dirty Bastard, a Scotch Ale with a ABV of 8.5. We thought about grabbing food there but the lack of service or attention by our tender quickly pushed us to hold on food until Hop Cat.
A short walk from Founders had us over to Hop Cat. Hop Cat has quickly become one my favorite stops. I love the decor and the beer selection and now that they also brew their own… well they have arrived. At Hop Cat I enjoyed their own Hop Cat Hopapotamus. I love IPA! We also ate dinner and I had Fish tacos, which are another recent fav of mine. Our bartender was funny and entertaining.
After Hop Cat, we made the drive back to Holland and finished the night at the home base brewery… NHB. Had my home stay, Mad Hatter in my mug and got a small reward for renewing my mug club membership a couple of weeks back.
A very enjoyable night hanging out with John and enjoying “good” beer.
