American malt and American hops crafted with a bold, pioneering American spirit. Hop Knot® gets its name from weaving five different hops introduced at seven separate intervals during the brewing process, including our cavernous hop-back, which gets so stuffed with whole leaf hops we feel genuine guilt for its excess. Hop Knot® is the color of a golden ale, but carries the bitterness of a fine pale ale and the hop aroma of an IPA.
