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?

Huge turnout for trivia tonight! It was the host's birthday so it felt like a party. Hop Merchant's, as always, provided a fun and relaxed atmosphere with all of the best beers. Teams were dialed in and scores were tight until Round 5 when the Lando Caltrivians were able to double down.

Hopefully we'll see everyone next week!

And brains stuck on buffering,

We ultimately crowned,

We Drink and We Know Nothing!

An egg-cellent turn out for trivia this week! (This terrible pun inspired by round 5's theme.)

The "All Toads Lead to Gnome" round was a difficult one hit most teams hard but almost all teams were able to guess our famous person by clue 8 which boosted both scores and morale. Round 6's matching was a favorite for both quizmaster and the teams and some successful doubling down created the gap in points.

Boss Vic Koss pulled off another win as multiple teams were stung by doubling down.
