When August rolls in, we all start feeling that little twinge of “better enjoy this while it lasts.” The sun sticks around, the patio vibes are still strong, and every pint feels just a bit more important.
At The Hoppy Brewer, we’re hanging onto summer with everything we’ve got—and that means loading the calendar with can’t-miss live music, tapping some outstanding craft beer near me, and keeping the good times rolling out on our dog-friendly patio.
This month is full of reasons to drop in, raise a glass, and soak up the tail end of summer in the best outdoor taproom Gresham has to offer.
