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?

We had a busy night of trivia and did quite a bit of globe-trotting. With questions covering South Africa's capitals and the origin of soy sauce, the teams depended on their knowledge of the world this week. A gutsy double down on Round 5's themed round clinched the win for Boss Vic Koss.

"Hope is the thing with feathers," according to Emily Dickinson and we had several winged teams hoping to place at Hop Merchants. (Incidentally, only one team knew this poem and captured the point for this question and it just so happened to be our winning team!)

Boss Vic Koss celebrated a birthday on their team but no one asked his age. We don't ask those kinds of questions around here.

"To trivia, or not to trivia, that is the question." -King Trivius (one of Shakespeare's lesser known history plays)

We had a blast at Hop Merchant's for this quiz. Drinks were flowing and we had some confident Shakespeare lovers double down on round 6. No one broke out into iambic pentameter, though. Always lovely to see so many familiar faces as each team battles for the top spot each week.
