The full pour
Down the slope from Sacré-Cœur Basilica, is a gem of a bottle shop called La Binouze (slang for "The Beer"). Anyone wandering through Montmartre, near South Pigalle (SoPi), should consider stopping by for a visit. Come to think of it, head to SoPi just to visit this bottle shop. The owner (Ben) is extremely knowledgeable and has a formidable selection of different beers. Accompanying the extensive options in the front of the shop, you can head to the back for a fairly sizable refrigerator filled with cold options as well. By looking around this place, it's evident that a significant effort has been made to offer some uncommon varietals. The inventory includes up-and-coming breweries from around Europe, coupled with established choices too (a fresh shipment of Cantillon was on the floor). At the end of the day, there is absolutely nothing pedestrian about this bottle shop. If you're hungry, the charcuterie & cheese are extraordinary. This is Paris, of course, so it is expected.
why is this on THL?
A sojourn at La Binouze could be rewarding for the bottle shop treasure hunters, so it must be included on The Hop Leaves treasure map. If you have touristic pursuits planned for the day, a stop here will provide you with an effective recharge, thereby sustaining your brave travel agenda to new heights. In addition, this is an opportunity to chat with some fellow enthusiasts, eat some thoughtfully-selected French cheese and learn something new. Be sure to stop here before the stroll past Moulin Rouge it should make the tourist mobs around you much more tolerable.
