Hopvine Brewing Company - Aurora

First time trying Hopvine out, great food with seasonal specials. We tried the pretzel bites and the cheese curds for apps, both were hot and fresh. The cheese curds were some of the best I've had outside of Wisconsin. I tried the chili which was just okay,I was assured it was not spicy AT ALL and unfortunately it was which was a bummer. The apple cider doughnuts were great. Willdefinitely be going back to try more on the menu.

Place is awesome! Great people and clean! As the pictures below reveal, Beautiful food and beer. Perfect ambience and atmosphere.

Solid beers and good fries. Meets my criteria for a chill spot to sit down and have a beer with some good company.

We needed a place to meet some family in the area and I had saved this place on my Yelp list some time ago. Entering you will find it is a pretty big place...a lot bigger than it looks from the outside, It's tucked in a strip mall corner and pretty easy to find. They have a really nice large patio area that I would love to come back and use. We asked about flights as I did see anything listed, they do them a bit differently. Each beer has a flight price (that I missed) so you can do as little or as many as you like, I am a big fan of this concept. I ended up getting 6 and I really enjoyed them all. They have quite a few different drafts and some outside beers, it was an impressive selection. On to the food, they have mostly the kinds of things to expect to find, pretty typical gastropub menu. Being a cool fall evening I was drawn to the Meatloaf, my wife got the Fish and Chips. We also started with Pretzel Bites, a perfect beer pairing food and Hushpuppies, I wish i took a pic before they were immediately devoured, these are upscale Hush Puppies served in a row of 5 or so on a bed of beer cheese, they were elevated deliciousness.The food overall was very good, the meatloaf came with asparagus that was cooked softer than I would have liked but that's a minor annoyance. The large slabs of meatloaf were stacked on a pile of mashed potatoes that were a bit too thick and gummy but everything tasted good. My wife was very impressed with the whitefish fish and chips. It's a fun place especially with a group, it was very empty when we were there and we look forward to going back soon.

It's a impressive looking brewery with plenty of space and nice furniture and it's very Visually appealing from the inside and outside. The bear hair was unique and very tasty and this is another great dupage county brewery of unique bear impressive impressive hops and a excellent recipe
