Unveiling the Unconventional: Hop Mez Mezcal 200ML
A Fusion of Craft and Creativity
Hop Mez Mezcal represents the amalgamation of traditional agave spirit craftsmanship and contemporary brewing innovation. Conceived in Oakland during a homebrew session, this unique agave spirit is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of modern distillers. Triple-distilled with centennial hops, Hop Mez offers an avant-garde twist to the classic mezcal, balancing the bold flavors of hops with the delicate notes of agave espadin.
Sensory Exploration in Every Sip
At 40% ABV, Hop Mez Mezcal delivers a smooth and intricate flavor profile that takes your palate through sweet maguey, spice, and the natural essences of river rock and mountain water. This carefully crafted balance ensures that every sip is a discovery, offering a tasting experience that is both complex and pleasing.
Tasting Notes: A Tapestry of Aromas and Flavors
The tasting experience of Hop Mez Mezcal is as unique as its creation. The nose is dominated by a beer-like scent from the hops, complemented by chalky minerals, a hint of chlorine, magic markers, and the freshness of newly opened tennis balls. This eclectic mix of aromas sets the stage for an intriguing tasting journey. On the palate, hops are beautifully intertwined with burnt sage, oregano, and juniper, adding an herbal depth that enriches the mezcal's profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
