Hop Drop 2025: New Year's Eve at Mad Swede

It's the 7th Annual Hop Drop!

Here are five reasons you should watch the Hop Drop instead of the Idaho Potato Drop:

1. Matty J and the Grays will be playing their energizing and danceable blend of funk, rock, and soul music all night long.

2. The Hop Drop is indoors, where it is warm.

3. The potato looks like a poop. The hop looks like a beautiful flower.

4. Parking is easy, free, and plentiful at Mad Swede.

5. 16 Mad Swede beers on tap, complimentary toast at midnight, and tons of options for non-beer drinkers.

.....Okay I know we said Five, but here's a few more....

6. No cover charge, just a suggested donation at the door for the wonderful band.

7. Did we mention that the Hop Drop is indoors?

8. Fire Giant's Pizza Forge will be making pizza.

9. You can easily acquire food and drink at the Hop Drop, instead of fighting with a crowd of thousands of freezing people.

Need we say more? Admission is free, but click "reserve a spot" to RSVP and let us know you're coming, so we can best prepare to serve you. :) We can't wait to celebrate with you!

One last thing. If you insist on suffering at the Idaho Potato Drop instead, at least do yourself a favor and come warm up at the Mad Swede Brew Hall in downtown Boise. It's just around the corner from the potato drop.
