WOW! 50 episodes! See them all listed out here. Clearly this is a small milestone for me. When I sat out to do this site my goal was to do as many videos as I could, but I had no idea I’d produce this many so quickly. I have a full-time job, twin daughters, and own a home – so I have plenty of things on my plate at the moment. But at night, when all is quiet, I come downstairs and put on my Hopry hat and share my beer collection with you guys. Sometimes I don’t go to bed until 2:00 am (knowing I have to be to work at 8:00 am the next morning). I have loved every moment of it so far, though, and I am dead set on pumping out another fifty by the end of this year. What really makes this all worthwhile is the fact that word is spreading quickly about The Hopry and more and more people are showing up to the website every day. I know I say this all the time, but thank you all 100 times over. It is truly awesome for me to have a you all along sharing the ride. So for the 50th session of The Hopry I have chosen a beer by my absolute favorite brewery: Russian River’s Supplication. You may have noticed that this video is produced by Vimeo. This is for a reason, and I will share more with you on that later. Anyway, I am looking forward to another great big celebration beer for the 100th session as well (no idea yet what it will be). So enjoy this video and thank you again for continuing to come back. CHEERS!

Thanks for 50 great beer reviews! I’m excited that you’re doing Supplication because i myself just picked up a bottle of this. Also that same Russian River glass is on the way to my house as we speak. Anyway, heres to many many more great reviews from The Hopry. You’re doing great things out there in Kansas City. Thanks Mark!

Great review! For what it is worth, the vimeo format seemed to load much faster than your normal youtube format. Cheers!

Good news on the Vimeo loading quicker. That was my goal, so glad it’s better.

Congratulations on 50!
I do have to say the Supplication is one of the best sours I’ve had. After starting on the wrong foot with a truly horrific sour from some small brewery in Iowa that I don’t even remember the name of, I’ve slowly crept into the space. RR and Lost Abbey/Port Brewing just know how to make good, interesting beer.

Congratulations on 50 great reviews. I am just finishing a Supplication and found it and Consecration to both be fantastic.Are you planning to review Consecration? I would be interested to know how you think they compare to each other.
Posted by thehopry on February 28, 2010 at 9:17 AM
I do have a Consecration that I’ve been hanging on to for quite a while. I definitely plan to review it someday, but probably not too soon. I’ve been doing quite a bit of Russian River lately, so maybe for my 100th review? We’ll see… I’m dying to try it, though.
