Hoptinger is a "Baverican" (German-American) bier garden and sausage house specializing in beer, bratwurst, dogs, and "stuft" burgers. They offer 86 rotating taps of 82 beers, two wine taps and two batch cocktail taps. 

The beer selection includes American craft specialties as well as European favorites. The giant bar is stocked with not only beer, but premium liquors and mixers for handcrafted cocktails and beer cocktails, and plenty of televisions for game day.

"Stuft" burgers are burgers that are literally stuffed with other food items. For example, the "Bang-a-rang" is a half-pound burger stuffed with cream-cheese-filled jalapeño poppers, topped with lettuce and banana peppers, and tossed in a Thai chili sauce. Americanized brats include the Bacon Mac & Cheese Brat, which is aptly served on a potato roll with bacon mac n' cheese, house smoked bacon, and Jon Boat bacon mustard.

Hoptinger's Bier Garden and Sausage House also offers handcrafted cocktails. Hours of operations are from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Happy hour is from 4 to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and late night happy hour is from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. on the weekends.
