HopCat Kalamazoo to open this week

HopCat is opening yet another set of doors this Saturday, Oct. 8 in Kalamazoo.

The ever-expanding brewpub chain’s 11th location is housed in the old train depot at 300 E. Water St., across the street from Bell’s Eccentric Cafe and Water Street Coffee Joint. Similar to other locations, HopCat Kalamazoo will have 100 craft beers on tap and the same Crack Fries (which are free on opening day), burgers and cheese sauce that Rapidians have come to know and love.

Also: Check out the beer garden, with an Airstream trailer turned into a bar.

The first 200 guests will win free Crack Fries every week for a year.

Doors open at 11 a.m.
