Hop Lot Again One Of Nation's Best

March 7, 2025

Hop Lot has again been named one of the best beer gardens in the country by USA Today.

Like the last time this list came out, Hop Lot is again number two in the 10Best reader's choice poll. The 10 locations included were to check out these 10 beer gardens, nominated by a panel of beer experts and voted by readers as the best spots to enjoy a beer outdoors in the United States.

"Embracing its Northern Michigan roots, Hop Lot Brewing’s beer garden invites guests to warm up around the campfire or relax at a picnic table while enjoying their brews. In winter, you can even reserve your own igloo! Hop Lot was established in 2015 as a family-friendly brewery and offers a tap list of around a dozen traditional ales," USA today says.
