The Original Hop Yard, in Pleasanton, California, is located on what was once the largest hop farm in the world.
Proprietors Eric "Otis" Nostrand, Barry "Just Barry" Mori, Rob "Hilde" Hildebrand, and Erik "Big E" Heth, all Tri-Valley natives, have created a simple place, reminiscent of simpler times, for friends and neighbors to gather and enjoy themselves.
So please, indulge yourself with the fine fare from the kitchen, and sample some of this region's unique brews on tap.
