The Best Beer Shops in the U.S., According to Pros

Wine Enthusiast, an American wine magazine that offers valuable information about wine, beer and spirits, recently published The Best Beer Shops in the U.S., According to Pros. To curate the list, Wine Enthusiast spoke with dozens of brewers, writers, social media enthusiasts, chefs and drinkers to learn what it takes to run the best beer shops. The list prioritized beer shops with knowledgeable, helpful staff rather than simply shops with the widest selection.

Here’s what Wine Enthusiast Magazine had to say about Hop City.

“Hop City also has locations in Atlanta and Fayetteville, but I’m partial to the Birmingham location, because it’s an oasis for serious consumers in a state where craft beer doesn’t have a huge presence yet,” says Nolan Strals, an illustrator and artist who has designed for breweries. “The bar at the Birmingham location is also a lively community hub for fans and the region’s craft brewers as well.”
