Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Hop
Unusual Ossett Brewery pub, with some impressive lanterns hanging above the carved wooden front to the L-shaped counter that looks like it can from a church, and a pizzeria at the back, all under a high ceiling. Six of the brewery's own cask ales - including my Excelsius (£5.20) - together with one each from Rat and Brass Castle and three ciders from a total of 11 handpumps. Various Salt beers available from the keg taps too.

The Hop is an Ossett pub with a high ceiling. There is a front bar area that was sparsely populated on my Monday evening visit, with a more open area to the rear that was much busier with an after-work crowd and quite a few people enjoying pizzas cooked from an open kitchen to the rear.
With more time to spare than I'd initially planned, I decided to stop and have a pizza. I recall enjoying the food on my last visit in 2016, but for some reason it wasn't as good this time. I've seen nduja mentioned quite a lot recently in relation to pizzas and wanted to give it a go. Whether it was the nduja or the copious amount of beer I consumed during the day, I'm not sure, but my stomach wasn't the best the following day. To give the nduja the benefit of the doubt, I suspect it may have been the beer!
On the subject of beer, regular beers from Ossett in here are Excelsius, White Rat & Yorkshire Blonde. In addition, they also had their Butterley & Treacle Stout. Ciders were Lilley's Mango & Weston's Rosie's Pig & Rosie's Pig Rhubarb. Craft beers were Salt Tweed, Loom, Jute, Serge, Huckaback & Ikat, Caps Off Rhys's Pieces & Turning Point Tangled Up In Blue.
Still a good place to couple with the far more traditional pub experience of the Blue Bell across the road.

Continues to be a reliable place for a good pint, not to mention the excellent pizza. Swerving the Ossett ales for a change, I enjoyed a superb stout from Ainsty on this visit. Thoroughly recommended.
