Trent's Travels-Link N Hops

Spot #2: Link N Hops in Atwater Village

 
This past week I was talking beer with a new friend and he mentioned Link N Hops.  He told me they had great beer from solid local breweries and for an added bonus a wide range of sausages to try out.  So of course I had to check it out for myself.  I like that space is open, it makes it more inviting for anyone.  The interior has a rustic, but clean feel to it because the bar, stools, and tables are wooden.  I also appreciate that it is easy to access the bar and grill area.  Link N Hops have a wide range of local breweries like Golden Road Brewing, Stone Brewing, Eagle Rock Brewery, and Cismontane Brewing.  I went with the Stone American Black Ale and Hot Italian sausage.  Although Link N Hops have exotic sausages like wild boar, alligator, and lamb I went with a classic one.  The American ale went well with the spice of the Hot Italian.  Link N Hops hasn’t been open for a year and they show no sign of slowing down.  So if you want to try a local craft beer and a unique sausage, Link N Hops is the place to be.
