Hoptimystic Brewing Hosts Jan. 30 Karaoke and Open Mic Night

Hoptimystic Brewing in Sunapee hosted a Friday Karaoke/Open Mic Night on Jan. 30, 2026, bringing local singers and performers of all ages to the brewery’s taproom from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. The event, billed in an original listing as a weekly community gathering, offered a stage for amateur and regular performers and included food from a local vendor noted as Fenton’s Landing.

Local listings emphasize the brewery’s suitability for live performance. A Project Sunapee excerpt describes the venue as one that "features a great PA setup, wireless mics, and an intimate waterfront atmosphere that makes every", a sentence that is truncated in the available excerpt. The sound equipment and waterfront setting suggest the taproom is positioned to host intergenerational arts activity while also supporting adjacent small businesses that supply food and hospitality services.

No ticket or cover charge was listed for the Jan. 30 karaoke/open mic entry in the available excerpts; Hoptimystic’s event pages do show that some events are ticketed. For example, the brewery’s Early Bird New Year’s Eve celebration was advertised as a ticketed event from 6–8 PM, featuring an app buffet by Fentons Landing and cheesecake bites by Pleasant Lake Cheesecake Company, DJ and karaoke, raffles and giveaways, and the notation "Tickets required for the 6–8 PM event." That listing also states, "Still feeling the party vibes? After 8 PM, Hoptimystic Brewing will remain open to the public, so you’re welcome to keep the fun going."

Beyond the Jan. 30 performance night, Hoptimystic’s Sunapee programming has included a slate of community-focused offerings. Event listings name a conservation-themed Trivia Night on January 15, produced in partnership with Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust, and give contact information for registration as Sarah Burtnick at sarah@ausbonsargent.org or call 603-526-6555. Earlier seasonal listings include a Line Dancing beginner class on December 18 and a "Brrr & Brews" event on December 20. The brewery also operates a location in Enfield at 59 Main Street, Enfield, NH 03748, which hosts its own community music programming.

Community gatherings such as karaoke and open mic nights have clear local value: they foster social cohesion, provide low-barrier creative outlets, and direct customer traffic to nearby food vendors and producers. At the same time, public health considerations, including safe capacity, beverage service around all-ages programming, and accessibility for performers and audience members, are important for organizers and attendees to confirm in advance. The original event blurb available in source material ends mid-sentence with "The bre," indicating some listings are truncated in publicly captured excerpts and warrant clarification.

Contact Hoptimystic Brewing for venue address, performer sign-up details, and any admission policies before attending. The Jan. 30 night reinforced the brewery’s role as a neighborhood taproom that hosts music, food partnerships, and conservation-minded programming, a mix that keeps local culture and commerce humming.
