Hog Molly is a tap room, not a restaurant – bring your own food or have some delivered while you are there. Food trucks are available most weekends.

Hog Molly is focused on traditional beers made with high quality ingredients – beers that have a hefty malt profile with nice depth of flavor, there are no “one note” beers at Hog Molly Brewing Company.
