TORONTO, ON – Bar Hop, one of Toronto’s top craft beer bars, has announced the upcoming launch of a new monthly event series that will combine mini tap takeovers with a brewery meet & greet.
Taking place on the first Wednesday of each month, Hop Talk will “not only feature unique and specialty beers, but will also offer patrons a chance to chat with the people who make them.”
The series will be kicking off next Wednesday April 2nd at 5:00 PM with a spotlight on Indie Alehouse. Brewery founder Jason Fisher and brewmaster Jeff Broeders will be on hand to chat with attendees and present five unique beers:
- Rabbit of Caerbannog, a white IPA brewed with the staff of Bar Hop
- Spadina Monkey, a barrel-aged sour
- Cockpuncher, an imperial IPA created in collaboration with Sawdust City
- Crush, an imperial witbier with blood oranges brewed in collaboration with Amsterdam Brewery
- Ned’s ‘Stache, a Flanders brown
Admission is free for all Hop Talk events, and the featured beers will be available to purchase in both 5 oz samples and full servings.

- Greg C. is drinking a Cider by Tawse Winery at King & DufferinA simple but pleasant cider with a slight floral note and a clean & fresh finish. A well made crowd-pleaser.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic/Loral) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinHazy, juicy, dank & green - yup, it’s a Wizard Wolf. Mosaic hops are obvious, not as sure about Loral as I’m not too familiar with them.
- Greg C. is drinking a Switchboard Session IPA by Muddy York Brewing Co. at King & DufferinWhile the cranky old man in me would prefer less haze, I can’t find much else to fault in this. Lots of flavour with lowish abv - all good!
- Greg C. is drinking a Porch Pirate by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryNot as big & juicy as most NEIPAs, but still sufficiently tropical with good balance. Sometimes a bit of subtlety is appreciated.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (HBC 522) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinCitrus notes up front, herbal backnote with odd hint of cherry candy. An interesting hop strain, hope to try more beers brewed with it.
