Hops Restaurant Bar and Brewery is the largest chain of brewpubs in the United States, with over 70 units in 16 states. As a microbrewery and a casual dining restaurant, Hops complements the meals its serves with handcrafted beers, including seasonal beer, brewed on-site with original recipes. The company emphasizes food quality, using fresh ingredients and made-from-scratch recipes. Hops' menu offers steaks, hamburgers, chicken, ribs, pasta, seafood, salads, and desserts. Signature dishes include Walker's Wood Shrimp, with Hops' proprietary sauce; Jamaican Top Sirloin, marinated for 72 hours in a sauce made with pineapple, soy, and ginger; and, for dessert, fresh Key Lime Pie.
In formulating the Hops brewpub concept, Mason and Schelldorf were inspired by George Biel, founder of Houston's Restaurant, and Norman Brinker, founder of Steak & Ale, Bennigan's Grill & Tavern, and Chili's Grill & Bar. These restaurant chain concepts involved limited menu options, meals made from scratch, and excellent service in a casual yet ambient setting. Mason and Schelldorf combined the popular casual dining concept with another new concept, the restaurant with an on-site microbrewery. While most brewpubs emphasized the handcrafted beer over the food, the Hops founders planned to serve high-quality food as well. The company used fresh ingredients, rather than from frozen or canned foods, and original, made-from-scratch recipes for everything, including soups, sauces, and salad dressings. Hops served hand-patted hamburgers prepared with freshly ground chuck beef and pork ribs smoked on the premises.

Hops produced four kinds of beer from original recipes using imported Czechoslovakian hops: Clearwater Light, a low calorie beer; Alligator Ale, a full-bodied, mahogany ale; Hammerhead Red, a malt amber ale; and Lightning Bold Gold, lager style beer. The microbrewery produced 750 to 800 barrels of beer each year, over 100,000 glasses per month. Hops offered customers a tour of the brewing process led by brewmaster Tom Netolicky or a store manager. The low cost of producing beer in-house, as compared to purchasing beer from a distributor, allowed Hops to provide good value on their meals and provided financial stability against the variable cost of food products. While food sales at brewpubs usually account for 40 to 50 percent of total sales, Hops meal items accounted for about 85 percent of total sales. At Hops the beer acted as a complement to the meal, rather than as the main attraction.
According to the guests' opinions, waiters offer perfectly cooked chicken salads, hamburgers and ribs here. If you want to try some good bourbon or delicious beer, this bar is a nice choice for you. In accordance with the reviewers' opinions, waiters serve good ice tea. 2ff7e9595c
