PINTS PINTS PINTS 🍺 Don't forget, on Friday 28th March we're hosting our next Payday Social with SWM CAMRA from 6pm at Hoppy Maido! And there may be some delicious local new stuff to enjoy on tap too... πŸ‘€

Here goes!! First two breweries incoming πŸ‘€πŸ‘‰πŸ» www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/maidenhead... What better way to kick off the brewery list than with someone local and someone very much NOT local...?

QUIZ NIGHT next Weds, a Beckett & Ferguson takeover as Lee & Ciaran force you all to prove your intelligence!* Only a couple of tables remaining! *percussive Naomi not included. The only photos we have of these two is from open mic because phone use during quizzes is illegal.

First brewery announcement is this week!! Which breweries are YOU hoping to see at Maidenhead Craft Beer Festival in May? πŸΊπŸ‘€

πŸ₯“β˜•οΈ The most important meal of the day! πŸ₯žπŸΊ ahoppyplace.co.uk/events/break... Our next tasting event will bookend the day with a dinner of breakfast! We’ll be pairing up breakfast foods with a range of different beer styles and doing a good bit of nerding alongside each course.

Images you can hear.jpg 🍺 Come join the usual suspects on Monday night in Maidenhead for our monthly bottle share! Kicks off at 7pm, totally free as usual, just bring something to share.

Spring is upon us, it's time for the pub garden - and we're speeding into festival season! β˜€οΈπŸ˜ Got your tickets yet for Maidenhead Craft Beer Festival? www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/maidenhead... - in the next week we'll be announcing the first few breweries we'll be inviting to pour, watch this space! πŸ‘ˆπŸ»

TONIGHT at Hoppy Maido it's another monthly CAMRA payday social! Join us from 6pm to have a couple of beers and a chat with other local pubby type people 😁🍺

GET EXCITED πŸ’œπŸŒ² The day after tomorrow, we welcome Vibrant Forest to AHP Maido for an evening of delightful cask and keg and beery talk with the Vibrant Forest team from 7pm! That's Thursday 27th - don't miss out! 🍺

TOMORROW it's dog walk Sunday! πŸΎπŸ’› Meet at Hoppy Maido for 1pm to set off, and join us for a well deserved pint/gravy bone (delete as appropriate) afterwards back at the bar. Perfect way to recover from today's Six Nations double header, and we'll be back in time for tomorrow's fixture!

πŸ©·β˜€οΈ NEXT FRIDAY we're stoked to be one of the independent venues pouring the brand new beers by @queerbrewing.bsky.social, the first on their new site! Come down to Hoppy Windsor on Feb 28th to get a taste of the new queer agenda 😚

NEXT WEEK it's our Open Mic night once again! It's always a wonderful couple of hours to get together and celebrate local talent across live music and spoken word, especially as the evenings gradually get lighter! 🍺 Tues 25th at Hoppy Maido from 7pm, see you then!

Ok ok ok. I know being the media manager for a private business loan company can't be easy work, but wooow this is a stretch 🀣 I'm not sure if it's the worst or the best email we've received this week...

Jason and Charlotte have been hard at work on a menu of beer and food pairings based on subverting expectations of classic styles and matching principles πŸ•΅β€β™€οΈπŸΊ Our next tasting is over halfway sold, so book in now for a series of unexpected events! ahoppyplace.co.uk/events/myste... πŸ‘ˆπŸ»

SIP & PAINT: SPRING! 🎨 Sunday March 2nd, 2pm - just Β£25 includes all your materials, a couple of hours of teaching and of course a welcome drink! ahoppyplace.co.uk/events/sprin... πŸ’ These events are a perfect way to relax and get creative, turn off your brain and make something completely unique 🩷

BOTTLE SHARE 🍾 First one of the year! Join us next Monday in WINDSOR from 7pm to crack open some delicacies and share some cheeses 🩷 (and laugh at Charlotte and Ally having Super Bowl shaped hangovers)

Apologies to our followers for the infrequent updates to bluesky. We are still getting used to being on another platform tbh... so to make it up to you, here's a photo of Simcoe, train commuter extraordinaire, on her way back from Bristol after Team drinks 🍺

Do I know anyone else going to the Kernel tonight? ^Dave

I’ve been to a Christmas quiz in a craft beer bar and drank 67 halves of various beers and sunk a gigantic pizza @ahoppyplace.bsky.social #justlikegwynethpaltrow

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The time when a beer with a photo of @tabamatu.bsky.social goes on the bar at hoppy πŸΊπŸ˜… Merry Christmas everyone 😊

Bring on April…..

We've just released 2 handmade Hoppy keyrings and frankly, if you don't buy one now given there's only a dozen of each, that's a YOU problem. Look how f-- cool they are! Big props to Naomi for these..

Beer #1 from @ahoppyplace.bsky.social advent calendar is absolutely brilliant - a hot stout by Omnipollo. Careful monitoring required to ensure temperatures were within threshold!
