Hop City

Hop City Brewing is expanding into the maritimes. Anyone ever have have their beer, and is it any good? The "subsidiary of Moosehead Breweries" thing kinda makes me a little worried.

Never had their beer, but at least they're not a 'Subsidiary of AB-InBev' or any of the other mega-brew companies.

I was drinking a lot of the Barking Squirrel up in Ontario. http://www.hopcity.com/barking-squirrel/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It was easily the best beer for the price available to me at the time, certainly enjoyable.
Actually, I think the better half finished off the last can we had two nights ago.
I would be happy to buy it here if it is priced similarly to mega-brews (which it was in Ontario).

I wasn't a huge fan. Nothing wrong with the beer, it just didn't live up to expectations. If you are going to name your brewery hop-city, I expect hop bombs.

I've got a can of the lager home in my fridge. I've been planning to bring it to a meeting.

My thoughts exactly!

I had a bottle of the Barking Squirrel last not too long ago and didn't care for it whatsoever. A buddy bought a 6 pack of it and all three of us didn't like it.

Mel's Diner in Sackville is carrying Hop City Barking Squirrel (bottle). Didn't want to try it when the bottle said it was brewed in Brampton and SJ. I was worried Moosehead was trying to pull a fast one on me.
