Mad Hopper Brewing 

The Mad Hopper



My Favorite Commercial Beers 

Mad Hopper brews only premium IPAs, ESBs, ales, wheats, & stouts incorporating
old-style taste coupled with brisk Pacific Northwest mountain smoothness.


In our 3-stage fermentation process, we clarify each batch
resulting in crisp, bold, complexity with robust heads.


We are extremely proud of our beers believing they rival
the best micros available & invite you to try one today!
