The two no-frills locations of Chuck’s Hop Shop are great places to buy beer, but also happen to be excellent spots to drink a frothy pint from the tap. Chuck Shin’s Greenwood location sports 38 taps, and his new Central District spot has a cool 50, with an astounding selection of cider and beer, from sours to IPAs to ambers and more. The beers are expertly selected, rotate frequently, and served by a bevy of knowledgeable and polite staff members who will patiently let you sample on your way to deciding from among all the choices. They also fill growlers, have TVs, and are dog-friendly. Oh, and they almost always have a food truck or two stationed outside. Game over.
