The Hops Company


Nestled in the heart of Derby, CT, The Hops Company (THC) isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience. As a winner of 23 awards, including beer bar, outdoor bar and beer selection, from Connecticut Magazine and its readers since 2017, we pride ourselves on delivering nothing short of excellence.

 

Mission & Values

At THC, we have crafted a haven for beer enthusiasts. With over 40 selections spanning local, domestic, and international beers, our expansive range ensures that your palate will never be left wanting. Not a beer fan? Fear not! Our carefully curated list of ciders, handcrafted cocktails, and wines on draft are just as tantalizing. Pair them with our gourmet food options for a dining adventure that's second to none.

Spanning 4.5 acres, our beer garden and outdoor bar promise ample space for relaxation, fun, and memorable moments. Our guiding principles: "Good beer to good people," "From brewery to glass," and "One beer, one person at a time," underline our commitment to our customers and passion for the craft.

And for those looking to spice up their evenings, our EVENTS page is always bustling with the latest activities and celebrations centered around our love for beer and food.
