Thrillist Atlanta
Thursday April 2, 2009
Hop City
1000 Marietta St, Suite 302, West Midtown; 404.667.0497
Atlanta's got all kinds of houses of worship, from the rigid
Jesuit, to the family-minded Mormon, and who can forget the
North American Shirdi Sai Temple of Peace -- but what about
a temple for that which you revere most, beer? Welcome to
Hop City, opening next week.
Hop City's Atlanta's first retail outlet to specialize in
craft beer, with over 1,000 brands of suds (plus 620 wines)
displayed proudly in a space that was once a 19th Century
donkey auctioning facility -- and continues that rich
tradition of ass-ification today. As 1/3 of the owners'
planned "Beer Bermuda Triangle" (including Octane and
soon-to-come 5 Seasons Brewery), HC offers everything from
Eastern exotics (Sri Lanka's Lion Stout), to American micros
(NC's Duck-Rabbit Dark), to Belgian stalwarts Delirium
Tremens, Scaldis, Weyerbacher, and Black Albert dark stout,
to Zurich's Samichlaus -- which actually translates as Santa
Claus, probably because its 17% ABV makes every day
Christmas. They also sell home brewing kits, host monthly
beer-ducation classes, and offer a sweet free Express Card,
through which you can rate previous purchases, pay the
cash rate even when using credit/debit, accumulate points
towards giveaways, and get emailed, personalized suggestions
from the owner, whether it's a sixer of Norwegian Nogne he
thinks you'll love, or an intervention he's sure you need.
Though it'll likely be Wednesday before Hop opens, they're
throwing an open-to-the-public party 6-9pm tonight, next
door at 5 Seasons, featuring live music, the city's debut
tasting of Old Dominion Golden Belgian, and offerings from
twelve other breweries -- so you'll drink enough that you
can't get rigid no matter how family-minded you feel.
Projected to open next week; party's next door at 5 Seasons:
1000-204 Marietta St, in the Brickworks building.
