About Us

Proper Hop is my love letter to beer — and to the people who enjoy it.

From storage to glass, every detail matters. Behind the bar, I take pride in the things you might never notice — meticulously cleaned draft lines, proper storage, and thoughtful pour technique — all so every pint is served exactly as it should be: fresh, flavorful, and full of character.

Our focus is beer, but the bar goes beyond that. We also serve a curated selection of wine and whiskey, chosen with the same care as what’s on tap — whether you’re in the mood for a crisp glass, a bold pour, or a slow-sipping dram.

Upstairs is the heart of Proper Hop Taphouse — classic, welcoming, and built for great drinks and easy conversation. It’s an all-ages space where everyone is welcome, including well-behaved dogs. Downstairs, you’ll find the Lounge: a 21+ retreat designed for a more intimate, elevated experience. It’s a place to slow down, settle in, and enjoy your drink in a quieter, more refined setting.

To complete the experience, we’ve partnered with our neighbors at Moxie Burger. Order from their menu, and they’ll deliver your food straight to your table — so you can enjoy great food without ever leaving your seat.

But Proper Hop is about more than what’s in your glass. It’s about connection, community, and creating a space that feels intentional and welcoming — whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or settling in for the evening.

So come by, grab a drink, and raise a glass with us. I’d love to meet you.

Cheers,

Patrick Ellrich
