Hop Forged Brewing Company, LLC

Great experience on a Saturday afternoon. Kid friendly when I went between 2pm - 4pm. They had super cool card games, a huge connect the dots, nice selection of craft beer, and TouchTunes jukebox app on deck for us to play our favorite music. I would definitely come back here again!

Had a great time hanging out with friends. The beer selection was pretty good with some quality blond ales on tap. I’d highly recommend this place if you’re looking to have a good time chatting over some quality beers.

Great new brewery in Downtown Hanford. Huge space and nice outdoor seating area. Great beer so far. Would recommend this place for a beer anytime.

I’ve been following Hop Forged on Facebook since long before they opened, knowing that I needed to get my beer-loving husband there on my next visit to my hometown. We ended up visiting at long-last on the evening before Thanksgiving. The building was pleasantly spacious--not crammed with tables or blaring noise from every which direction. We shared a flight of beers. My husband really enjoyed them all, and got two of their 32-oz ‘crowlers’ to go. Hooray for a hometown brewery!

I’m working outside of Hanford and cruised over to Hop Forged and I was not disappointed. I enjoyed just about everything I tasted. I can’t wait to go again while I’m in the area.

It takes fifteen minutes to Cook a hot dog here. They don’t have any other food. I didn’t just come here for a drink.

Great atmosphere. Lots of fun, free, games to play with a group or even alone. They serve minimal snacks. But, we were told we could bring in our own food. Fatte Albert's is just down the street and they will deluver a pizza there. Kids welcome. They have crafted sodas too. But, avoid the nught crowds with the kidddos. You should check it out.

Great atmosphere usually has some type of dj or entertainment on weekends, downside is that they close early.

Easily the best pub in the area! Great service great environment it's fun and easy going but also a classy place to take friends or co workers

Went in on a Saturday around 7 nobody in the place , two customers at the bar , empty barstools nobody behind the counter , waited at the bar for about 10 minutes , somebody came from the back , didn't acknowledge me at all then went back to the back so I left, it was Saturday and the place was a ghost town , do better

Hop Forged Brewing Co. the place you come to hang out. Good beers, chill vibes and nice atmosphere. Whenever in Hanford, this always seems to be the escape. This place has evolved quite a bit over the years but cannot deny the progress. They seem to have a rotating fun nights now but I will always regress to a relaxing weekend atmosphere here.

Stopped in here on Sunday after dinner across the street at a Yelp elite event. We were parked right in front of the brewery and didn't even notice it until we were about to drive back to Fresno. Once we saw the open sign, we knew we had to try this place. Our beer tender was incredibly friendly and told us about the history of the brewery and how it was all brewed right in the basement now, which ran the length of the taproom. Our beers were super tasty, albeit as expensive as you expect for craft beer. Just makes you appreciate your single beer more, really. Overall, a great first impression for Hop Forged and definitely a place worth stopping in if you are in Hanford.

I went here for a meeting. They had great micheladas. The service was spectacular. I was glad I ended up coming because I would have never known about their Micheladas. Ambiance was very clean and brewery style.

My girlfriend took me here for the first time. I'm not really familiar with Hanford, but I don't think there's a whole lot to do, but this is a great pit stop before riding the Amtrak. They had a lot of variety of beer and use Untappd. The only thing I didn't like about this place is it's kid friendly. I got to bars to escape kids not have them run around the place. I drank one beer and left I couldn't handle the chaos.

Are gathering for work was great I really enjoy the drinks had a nice time . In a nice place.

Just coming back on to post more photos. I took a lot of videos but for some reason it won't let me put those on here. Hmmm...

I came here today for a nice Sunday brew. I ordered the tropical IPA and it was delicious. The girl serving was attentive and provided great service. Overall, great small brewery!

This is a great brewery in a lot of ways. They just started selling hot dogs but other than that they don't sell food here but there's plenty of places on the same street to eat and on Thursdays there's typically a farmers market in downtown with more options for food as well. On Fridays they have live music and it's a nice thing to look forward to after a hard week at work in this small town. This brewery is relatively new and a popular spot in town. They have a set of core beers, rotating beers, and some nice experimental brews. My favorites are the fruited series, every flavor has been very pleasant, the Vanilla Main Street Blonde is very nice and refreshing; similar to Cali Creamin', the Downtown JJ Brown Hazelnut Brown Ale is another good choice! The Blood Orange Wheat Ale is an honorable mention! A really cool thing I have never seen at a brewery is Micheladas on tap. I love them and think they are very flavorful. This is also a dog friendly establishment which is another plus. The Bartenders are always respectful and polite. There's really no reason to not go here if you want some tasty beer, good atmosphere, and great service!

Beer is OK. Not sure what their vision is other than to make beer but that's all you get is BEER. The food? It's only hotdogs and they're not much better than what they serve at my daughter's softball league. The bun was moist which means it came out of a bag that was in a hot or humid area. No sides other than chips. For all I know, it's chips from Costco. This brewery is so/so but then again it's in Hanford so expectations are pretty low. Has the ability to be great but you can tell there's not vision. So sad.

Well tell me how to order a delicious michelada without dressing it No tajin No chamoy No lime or lemon I'm Mexican I want my shit dressed up. My best friend is white next to me she said it's delicious buttttt wtf !!!

We love Hop Forged. Friendly staff, great beers, fun atmosphere. Thank you Hop Forged!

Highly recommend going to Hop Forged. The beer is very nice with a large selection of beers. There is plenty of parking and the music is good.

Good beer, but some of the worst service. Got motioned to come all the way to the end of the bar inside only to get told there was a private event that extended time. No signs and the door was wide open. Would've been smarter to tell me before I came in.

So, my all time favorite thing to do when traveling to new places is to find breweries and sample their wares. We stopped into Hop Forged on a not busy Tuesday night. We pulled up to the bar and ordered flights, taking recommendations from the bartender. I went with the following beers: Downtown JJ Brown; Vanilla Main Street Blonde (Nitro); English Fruit Blonde; American Hefeizen; Mosaic State of Mind (Double IPA); and Mandarina Pale Ale. The star, and it wasn't even close, was the Mosaic Double IPA. Perfectly malty with just enough hops to balance it out with bitterness and faintly aromatic. We took two crowlers home with us. As for the other beers, as another yelper noted, they were all very watery. The vanilla blonde, for being on nitro, had no real noticeable mouthfeel (which is why you typically put things on nitro). All the other beers really lacked any appeal to be honest. This place doesn't have many reviews, so I hope they can continue to work on their craft and become a success. It's a nice little spot in a nice little town, and they could really turn into something. I'll definitely stop in again to try some other stuff when my wife and I visit the area early next year.

We love taking the train to Hanford and walking here! Great beer and fun atmosphere. Really appreciate that it is kid and dog friendly.

So most of this review is for the beer they brew in-house and no the place itself. Let's start with the good which is that the place is very nice and has lots of room if you are having a large group of people. The staff are very friendly and are always moving around making sure everyone is happy and taken care of. Now for the beer, well it's not great. I tried several and I have to say that the brew master needs some practice. Every beer I tried just tasted very watered down and lacked flavor.

Every beer or sour we tried is quite enjoyable! A fun, laidback environment on a Sunday afternoon

Let me tell you about this place... the tap list is awesome. The guest list of beers is awesomer. Tiffany was behind the bar slingin drinks. She's pretty much the best. Plus our giant moose of a dog was here with us too. Great success.

This place is OK. It's one of the newer brewery type places. I like the spaciousnous of it. But I DID NOT like the bartender or owner or whatever he was. He was extremely unhospitable. Didn't make eye contacrt,. We didn't know that we had to go up to the bar to order beers. So we just sat at the table for about 10 minutes while this dude was doing financial calculations on a notepad on the bar top. Finally I just went up to him and said ok, how does this work since nobody is helping us". And without even looking up at me he saaid "because you have to come up to the bar and order".

Absolutely love this place, the beer is delicious and the crew and service is top notch!

Service was very good, had a nice conversation with the young man pouring the beers. The atmosphere was very comfortable and pub like. On the down side I was from out of state and wished their merchandise was better stocked. Had to leave without a T-shirt, I wear a large

The woman working was extremely unpleasant. They didn't say hi and all they mentioned was that they close in 1 hour. Then five minutes before closing the dude working walked by and said "drink em or leave em" and stood by our table until we chugged our beers. Beer was great but bad service can ruin any experience. I didn't feel welcome or appreciated and we tipped over 20%!!!

Beer was okay, lacks some flavor. They need a good IPA. The lighting is wayyyyy too bright for a brewery gotta fix that. Will give it a few months to see if beers improve .

Beer is pretty good, I love visiting local breweries and I enjoyed the brewery itself and the beer, but The customer service was pretty awful. I've worked in the service industry and I've visited a lot of places and have never experience bartenders with such a rude vibe. Definitely won't be back just because of how awful the bartenders were. And definitely wouldn't recommend!

I love coming here because not only is the beer amazing but the beer tenders are always attentive to you and always looking out for you as an individual and making sure you're comfortable in the environment.

Awesome crew and awesome drink selection, its a great place to end the workday and start a fun night. Music is always on point and ALWAYS great atmosphere!!!

Truly love this place! The staff is so good. They know their beers, they take care of customers (even the bad ones), and they know how to have a good time.

This place is the kitties titties. Best beer in town. Awesome employees too. Good place to unwind.

Is a great new brewery in Hanford. Try one of their standard brews or the rotation of special beers that they have on tap.

Service was great here, Tiffany welcomed us when we first walked in an was able to help us figure out what we wanted to drink. Our first time being here was great, definitely coming back

Tiffany was very helpful and friendly. She gave us the best service and made us feel welcome and at home. I definitely will be back a lot more times.

Very proud of these two young single parents who opened their business in the town they grew up in. That's hometown dedication Great brews give it a try when your downtown Hanford. Great location

Tried the Tropical which isn't that bad. The set up has a lot of potential. I've been to a lot of breweries and the light is fine. I just think 60% of the patrons don't understand what's a brewery is and enjoy a beer that has been crafted. I'm hoping to stop by again and try the others.

This is a neat brewery! Just opened in April and its good ale! Will be coming back. They got this hook game its pretty fun! Couches...tables and barrels ita pretty damn cool
