I had the most delicious beer here: Alley Kat Full Moon Pale Ale. Nicely balanced with fruit, sweetness, and hops with a lovely scent. The Hop In Brew was the only place in Calgary that I noticed it on draught and this fact alone would lure me in time after time if I actually lived here.
The pub is in a converted house and feels a bit homey (not homely). It is pretty steady early in the evening and seems like a nice place to start the night off before the line begins to form.
