Barhop Taproom

13 beers on tap including 4 flavored ciders. Flight of of four for $10, which is pretty cheap. Fantastic location, which is 1/2 block from the ferry, so you can visit, while waiting to depart. Beer quality is quite poor. Some fruity weirdness is common to all their beers. I think it could be chlorinated water, or yeast reuse for all styles, or more likely: the fruited cider flavorings linger in the fermenters used for all beers. Maybe Need better cleaning. 3.7 only because location is great.

Just a warehouse room in front of the water, poorly decorated, almost no windows, and dark. The waitress doesn’t seem to participate much.
I didn’t have a series of such bad beers in long time, smelling like ass and full of diacetyl.
They are supposed to have 11 taps, but half of them apparently are out.

Visited the brewpub on August 25th, 2012. Each of us ordered a flight of four 4-oz samples. My saving grace was that I was told to get the guest taps... but made the mistake of sampling some of the unfinished brewpub samplers on the table. The service was good but the poor gal had no idea how bad the beers were. I don’t know if they’ve not cleaned their lines but everything suffered from SERIOUS diacetyl infection. Undrinkable. All samplers order by the 8-person group of us went unfinished. Terrible.

Have been able to visit a couple more times as I was traveling through the area, and thought it would be a good idea to update my initial review. Serves their own ’Barhop’ brews, and usually has a few nice guest taps (glad to see this development). Everything is available in tasters, pints, or growlers. The space is simple but inviting. Tables, chairs, a small bar, and a little ’living room’ nook all make for a modern but cozy atmosphere. The service has always been very friendly and helpful. No real food available; but they provide free snacks like pretzels etc, and welcome you to bring in food from outside. This would also be a fine place to meet up with some friends before a show or after a long hike. It turned out to be a great place to wait until my dinner reservation was ready. They even have some board games if you are so inclined. I am not a fan of the house brews, but hopefully they will improve over time. The addition of a few guest taps was a great move for the business. I lucked out last time I was in town and snagged a growler of Chuckanut Kolsch, which is otherwise largely unavailable this far northwest. That alone will prompt me to swing by for a peek EVERY time I happen to be in the area. Like most of these smaller places, they currently lack any real ’online’ presence. Nothing fancy is required; but I, for one, would love to know what is precisely on tap/guest via a simple and efficient web source. Glad to see this little area growing in regards to craft beer. I hope that the neighborhood chooses to utilize the nice space that Barhop has provided for them. I wish them a prosperous future.

Great new place in Port Angeles. 6 Taps the brewery is at the Harbinger Winery They bring the beers over to the tap room and they are good. Tasty good beers. I like the tap room it is open spacious. This is going to be a great place to visit as the years go on and we visit Port Angeles. This is a over 21 taproom.
