Greetings

Dallas has few diversions other than eating, drinking and shopping.....and shopping does not interest us.
So we spend our time hopping from restaurant to restaurant and to every pub that we can find in search of the perfect meal and the perfect beer.

We randomly review restaurants and bars, dishes and beers at whim and give our brutally honest opinions of our findings. And while we concentrate on Dallas, we travel far and wide to sample cuisine from all regions of the country and beyond.

Beer Review - Hopus


Hopus - 8.5% abv


I hesitated to try this bottled Belgian simply because of the name. If you see the word 'Hop' in any form in the name of an American ale, you can be sure that it will be so full of hoppy bitterness that it makes you feel as if your face will implode.




Not this gem. The brewer, Brasserie Lefèbvre, is known for it's line of superior ales such as Abbaye De Floreffe Blanche and Barbar. I should have know that this would be in line with the other superior ales that they produce. The name Hopus was derived from the fact that they use 5 different hops in the brewing process. In fact, the ale is light, mildly sweet and full bodied.
