If you’re in the mood for a good meal and a good beer to wash it down with, head to Hop Farm Brewing Company in Lawrenceville.
The menu is a hit with foodies who flocked to the spot when it debuted at Smallman Galley in the Strip District. In 2017, they followed their noses to its current North Side location.
The couple will run the incubator location for another year and then focus their attention on the big things on tap at Hop Farm, where Chef Mike Saffron helms the Provision PGH kitchen.
The tiny Butler Street taproom is expanding to the neighboring building, giving Gouwens and Eldridge 7,000 square feet to express themselves through food and beverage. Beer production and general revelry will increase. Customers can even party on the roof, which will have seating and a garden.
The seeds for a Hop Farm-Provision collaboration were planted five years ago.
Since opening his operation in 2013, Gouwens was the king of multitasking: he made the beer, ran the kitchen, dealt with sales and deliveries and was the first to can his libations.
Gouwens met Eldridge at a Smallman Galley event held at the brewery.
“I like his beer and he likes my food,” Eldridge says. “It’s a good relationship.”
