    • 30!~30!~30 !

    This being Hopleaf’s 30th Anniversary year, we have been grateful for so many things that have made for our enduring success. Our loyal, hard working staff, our great customers, supportive neighbors, and helpful vendors have together kept Hopleaf afloat and on course for over three decades.

    Another part of our success has been the partnership formed between Hopleaf and a few very special breweries over the years. There is no greater example of this mutually beneficial relationship that the one between Hopleaf and Three Floyds Brewery. Since first tapping Alpha King many years ago, Louise and I, Hopleaf’s staff, and our customers have bonded with Three Floyds for all the right reasons. Great beer and good people.

    Our friends at Three Floyds approached us about creating a celebratory event marking our 30th year and we are so excited about what they and we have put together, a once in a lifetime Three Floyds tap takeover with 30 amazing beers never before offered at one time under one roof, including several variants of Dark Lord. Plan on spending some time at Hopleaf Sunday, October 30th and appropriately for the Dark Lord, Monday, Halloween Day and Night.

    Check out our website and social media pages for complete details. I’m going to make a point of being around both days and hope to see all of our friends at Hopleaf. There will be some Three Floyds staff dropping in as well. Thanks to Nick, Jim and all at Three Floyds for the honor, thanks to Stephanie, our beverage director for putting it together and making it happen and thanks to Hopleaf’s amazing staff who will, be delivering the beer, food and service over this special Halloween Weekend.
