There are some legendary cities on this planet, but we only dream of one. El Dorado, Atlantis, Asgard and Camelot can all be stolen from us - it is the city of hops that we desperately want to discover, visit and live in. One place that could make these dreams come true is Hop City. The American brewery doesn't necessarily occupy the territory of an entire city, but it puts out enough great beers to keep us satisfied.
From the beer connoisseur to the brewery owner
Kraig Torres' passion for beer began long before he was even allowed to drink it. When he enlisted in the Coast Guard after high school, he was finally old enough to satisfy his curiosity. He enjoyed brews all over the world and broadened his horizons greatly when he discovered the variety of European beers. He was particularly fascinated by craft beer. As a true beer nerd, Kraig kept a diary of sorts. Because the Internet was still in its infancy back then, he had a notebook in which he recorded all the beers he tasted and made notes about them. Tracking down new beers became his hobby and before he knew it, he had tried more than 1,000 varieties. His hometown of Atlanta presented him with a number of challenges: the local beer landscape was still relatively underdeveloped and there was hardly any good advice on barley juice. Kraig sensed his chance and decided to take matters into his own hands. He took all his courage, his expertise and the experience from years of beer tasting and opened Hop City in 2009.
Try, study, create
The triumph of craft beer had now reached all American states and had already spread across the pond - perfect timing for a brand new, up-and-coming craft brewery. Kraig and his team used the momentum to establish themselves in the market. Responsible for their great success is their beer, which is intensely flavored, complex and drinkable at the same time. Kraig's wealth of experience now includes almost 9,000 beers and serves as inspiration for his daily work. With curiosity, passion and an insatiable thirst for beer, Hop City creates beer after beer, delighting both their customers and friends as well as the judges of international competitions. Barking Squirrel is one of the most award-winning beers in the range. The brewery's flagship has won numerous awards and is one of Hop City's most popular creations. When beer connoisseurs brew, they can rely on the brewing pieces being made with passion and quality.
