The Hop Grenade Taproom & Bottle Shop — Restaurant in Concord

This place is Legendary! Craft beer is important, and this place takes that responsibility very seriously.

What a perfect venue to enjoy a curated selection of the craft beer industry’s finest pours and bottles!

Although the space is small, it is well deigned and takes advantage of every square inch. A combination of indoor and outdoor seating nestled into a historic part of town.

They have a combination of drafts and bottles/cans (you can purchase bottles/can to stay or to go), and even if you’re new to craft beer you cannot go wrong with any selection.

The service staff are very knowledgeable about all of the products, make great recommendations based on your tastes, and best of all . . . they pour the beers 100% properly - with the appropriate amount of foam, in the correct glassware, at the right temperature. We ordered 8 different beers with our party, so we unintentionally tested this among a broad range of styles.

Flawless!

Very impressed with this place as it has been on my bucket list for many years. It definitely exceeded all expectations.

Cannot wait to return again and...

Better tap selection than some beer gardens I've visited, exceptionally curated. It was hard to choose because the offerings were so exciting!

Excellent customer service with friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff. You can ask for samples before ordering a whole pint. Details of each draft and pricing are provided on an iPad. Cans of beer are also available to take home.

I don't usually like Stouts but Brooklyn Brewery's Black Ops was a treat. I also loved my pint of Alamanc's stone fruit/plum? sour ale.

I didn't try the food on my first visit but it smelled wonderful. Music playlist was great. A good crowd, not too loud, very chill. Will definitely be...

COVID era review: You can feel safe coming here for outdoor dining, staff and patrons are keenly aware of mask and distancing protocols. The beer list is savage and you will in no way regret the mandatory food option. I had one beer on tap and one from their nicely curated can selection, and the smoked chicken sandwich; all three were lip-smacking. As a note to the owners, I'd like to tip my hat to the two cornichons which came on the side of the sandwich, and proved an excellent pairing...however I would just go ahead and add some kind of pickle to that sando and thereby elevate the whole thing...
