| − | Hopjacks | + | Hopjacks boasts 63 different beers on tap with more than 120-150+ bottled selections, ranging in price from around $2 to as high as $25 for specialty beers. Hopjacks is notorious for it's ever evolving beer menu due in part to their purchasing power and professional relationships with Brewery's across the country. It is not uncommon for them to have "one-off" products drop-shipped and made available to their clientele. Due to these reasons they typically update their beer menu at least '''once a week''' to make sure everything is current. In January 2010 it was announced that Hopjacks Pensacola would be extending their current draft beer selection from 36 to over 100 drafts. This three phase process is set to be underway in early February.[http://www.pnj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=20101200311] |
