About Hop Merchants Bottle Shop & Taproom

Hop Merchants Bottle Shop & Taproom is a craft beer bottle shop and tasting room. We offer 16 rotating taps of Los Angeles-area beer as well as a wide variety of bottles and cans from your favorite independent breweries, which you can purchase to go or to enjoy in-house (with $1.50 corkage).  We also have an open food policy, meaning outside food is welcome and delivery is even encouraged. It's all good!

Located in the NoHo Arts District of North Hollywood, California, our mission is to channel our passion for great beer, community, and create a fun, chill atmosphere for people to hang, drink, shop and debate the deeper mysteries of life...such as who would win in a fistfight between Batman and Captain America? What's the difference between partly cloudy and partly sunny?  If the Zombie Apocalypse started today, what would be your weapon of choice?  Why are there no such thing as B batteries?  If humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?

What a great night for trivia! On the day before Thanksgiving, I was thankful for the high scores and loud cheers. 

The game started off really strong. All teams got 100% on Round 1 and kept fighting through Round 2. Scores were still close through Round 3 (they must all know someone named Dave). Teams kept battling the odds through Round 7. Surprisingly enough, a room full of Angelinos had the most trouble on our "Let's Make a Deal" Round -- I even heard a few players had been on the show!

Hey Mommy! quickly took the lead and held their large margin throughout the game. They made risks, took chances, and scored big! They had a smaller team this week, but apparently these are their ringers. They got one of their highest scores ever.

The other four teams continued to leap frog all game. In the end, The Keg (like the 2018 move The Meg) deserved their close second place. It was your classic "come from behind" "hero" story like in your favorite sports movies -- maybe that's why they did so well in Round 5. Their out of this (Disney)world comback was only one  point shy of  1st place. Next week when they have their whole team, I sure they will be on top. 

Hype-person of the week goes to my mom who was visiting from out of town. While she has always been my biggest cheerleader, she extended her enthusiasm to all the other teams. There are no losers in her book.

Our favorite bartender's new beer of the week was a strawberry double IPA. It comes in a pink can! Tastes like strawberries and has a 8.1% ABV...win/win.

See you next week!
