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?

Tonight, we had a HUGE, PACKED CROWD! The taproom was full, and the drinks were flowing!!

Double-or-Nothing was teams' favorite, and ohhhh was it to their advantage! I'm so proud of our risktakers tonight!

Sonia and Lindsay, our bartenders, were an absolute joy. They were kind, generous, and I always love when the staff are dancing with me to my DJ playlist! Bangers only, people!

Team SHAKE AND BAKE held 1st place for a while throughout the night, but not for too long! And for the first half of the game, we had 5 teams tying over and over!

Congratulations to THE CODEPENDENCY CREW who won 1ST PLACE! Shout-out to KEEP THE YULETIDE GAY and BRONZE AT BEST who won 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

What more do I need to say? It was a LOUD, ROWDY, FUN night! Thank you, Hop Merchants Bottle Shop and Taproom for hosting me! Can't wait for next time!
