Can you believe it’s only been one year since Hops Hill opened at 886 Fulton Street (between Washington and Waverly Avenues)? It seems like they’ve been here longer, considering how much a part of the local bar scene they’ve become.

In celebration of the accomplishment, owner Joe Najem and bartender Kenny Leeper are hosting a party (that’s already started!) until 4am tonight/tomorrow morning, featuring “some amazing beers that we have been saving for a while for that special occasion,” including:
