Liquor License Premises Amendment
Name of Establishment: Hop Haus Brewing Company
Address of Establishment: 231 S. Main Street, Verona, WI 53593
Name of Agent: Philipp Hoechst Address: 1105 Tamarack Way, Verona
Agent Phone Number: 608-720-8858 Establishment Phone Number: 608-497-3165
Premises Amendment Description:
Fence and use the parking lot as an outdoor patio, with tables 6 feet apart to maintain social
distancing guidelines. We will have two entrances/exits to the patio to further allow patrons to social
distance by using either access point. One point will be at the NE corner of the parking lot (near the
permanently fenced patio) and one point in front of the main entry door to the Hop Haus tap room.
Guests will be ordering online & a “runner” will be bringing out orders to the table to further limit
person to person contact and people inside the Hop Haus taproom. At this time we do not plan to have
live music at Hop Haus, once DHS allows us to move into Phase 2 of the Badger Bounce Back we would
possibly request to have outdoor music at that time. If so, we would plan to have it 1-2 nights per week
(Friday and/or Saturday) from 6-9pm. We may open an hour or two earlier on some weekdays, but will
still open at noon on Saturday and Sunday. We plan to have online ordering end at 9pm (last call).
