About the brewery

Hop River Brewing Company is an award winning Fort Wayne, Indiana based micro-brewery and taproom. We opened our doors in February of 2018 with the same enthusiasm we have today. The brewery was founded on the idea of using four basic ingredients to create our own unique varieties of local craft beer. The beer we create is an expression of our personality, from which we create our identity as a local brewery.

Our taproom is active with regular weekly events and pop up events throughout the year. It is the place to have a pint, share stories with friends, and create memories. Our food menu offers a rotating array of options that evolve with the season. We are intentionally creative with our flavors both in your pint and on your plate. Stop by our taproom to enjoy a pint or find our beer at local restaurants or bars in the area.

Our community is a large part of who we are as a brewery. We take pride in the Fort Wayne community by offering various events and activities throughout the year. We partner with local organizations and other Fort Wayne breweries to engage and brighten the city. We work hard every day to contribute to the community we call home.
