Hop Hen Brewing

Great beer, very friendly service. A good find passing through the area!
Edit: As good as it was 2 years ago during my first visit.

Nice beer, but too expensive. Does not compete with 400ml 6 pack imported Kilkenny, $25 or my fav. 6 pack 330ml Carlesberg Pilsner $18.

Great little brewery perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Good beer and live music what more could you ask.

First off, it's a microbrewery inside an industrial estate. That means concrete floors and metal roofing.

I personally found it to be too noisy, but considering I was pretty much sitting underneath a speaker, thats slightly on me, slightly on my party and less on the venue.

There isn't much in the way of food to choose from, just some pizzas, some bagged chips and a selection of beer nuts. The pizza I had was alright, but my criteria for pizza to be "adequate" is pretty much "cooked properly" and "no barbeque sauce for the base". The chips, although expensive, are good. I'd advise going for the barbeque rub flavored ones. I did not try the beernuts.

Look, despite being an Australian, I'm not much of a drinker, so places like this don't appeal to me and I'm not the target audience. If you are, you'll probably enjoy this place more than I did.

We had the best time here! Very dog friendly, delicious pizza and amazing beer options. Oh, also fun board games! Highly recommend - @Mural_Nomad

Great spot to have a beer looking over the park! Staff are friendly and the variety of beers on offer is excellent. Good stuff.

Good food, great service. Ensured no food went to waste, staff went above and beyond fighting with rogue foil box to pack us lunch for the next day.

Friendly staff and tasty beers. Good heating for the tables as well, which is appreciated at the moment. Looks like a few tables were reserved so might be a good idea to make a booking on the weekends. Looking forward to coming back and trying some of the food.

Great little gem of a brewery to find in Lilydale. Brewer (never caught his name unfortunately) was very accommodating. DDH Hazy Pale is a cracker.

Great venue - small and welcoming. Brewer is friendly and knowledgeable - creating a tasty range of beers.

What a great venue! We came for an early dinner on Mother’s Day and were so impressed! The staff were friendly and very obliging, even bringing out games for the kids. The pizzas were delicious and we loved the band. Thank you for having us, we’ll be back!

Beers were so tasty and service was excellent. Friendly bartenders and great vibes. The pale ale was so full of flavour and my partner really enjoyed her lager. We will be back soon.

Great experience with fabulous friendly staff who are efficient, helpful and cheerful.
Nice vibe and delicious food

Hop hen is amazing it is so great I have a brewery out in Lilydale. The staff are always so friendly and happy and want to ensure you have a good experience. While I don't drink beer I have only heard great things about their brand. Always love coming here and would recommend to anyone.

Great service and staff are amazing. Pizzas were good. Could do with more topping but tasty.
Beer was amazing with lots of options

Picked up a take away 2L growler of Hazy Pale. AMAZING. Great service, great beer, great brewery. Thanks guys.

Great selection of beers, delicious woodfired pizzas and awesome live music.
Definitely a good discovery.

LOVE THIS PLACE! So glad we have a local brewery to go to from now on! They've got lots of beers on tap (and some wines sourced locally too) so there's plenty to choose from. Glad they have pizzas but also wish they had something else (food wise) to choose from. Other than that, its a great place to enjoy a beverage! Also, the staff were lovely and treated us so well, really felt like they were passionate about what they were doing and made us feel welcome.

Mike is a great host, the place was lovely and warm, the Mango Tango Sour beer was awesome as was our pizza

Got to try everything on tap with 2 paddles - favs were no. 4 mango tango sour and no. 6 DDH hazy pale ale. Really nice relaxed vibe and staff all very friendly - definitely recommend.
