About The Hop Knot

The Hop Knot is Connecticut's first premier craft beer and gourmet pretzel bar. Featuring a variety of craft cocktails, board games, and pretzel sandwiches. 24 taps, always craft!

Based in Connecticut, the company provides a fun and vibrant atmosphere of craft beers and gourmet pretzels. The perfect combination of pretzels and beer sparks interest. Guests want to experience something new and tasty, which is exactly what The Hop Know gives them. The pretzels are unique, but the craft beer industry is unveiling new and interesting beers every day. The Hop Knot caters to seasoned beer drinkers while at the same time making it exciting for the newcomers. And for those not interested in the beer side of things, the pretzels can easily pair well with the trendy craft cocktails also offered on the menu.

The first Hop Knot location launched in April 2016 and the second launched seventeen months later in September of 2017. The model is fun, trendy and affordable. The concept fits the needs of many different types of markets and demographics, allowing for a wide range of possible locations that would fit the Hop Knot business model.
