According to Capitol Hill Seattle, Chuck’s Hop Shop just signed a 10-year lease to open a beer shop/neighborhood hangout at 20th and Union in the old Copymaster building.

Chuck Shin already runs Chuck’s 85th Street Market, which carries tons of beer on tap and in bottles, and fills growlers to go. He says, “We’re going to be open to dogs and families – that’s our thing.”
“We’ll have space for rotating food trucks every day. We’re also hoping to build a bit of an outdoor seating area,” Shin said. As for its offerings, Shin has a similar plan for the store on E Union. “We’ll have ice cream for kids and we’re planning fifty taps.” Chuck’s will also continue to provide a similar schedule of events at the new shop: Tastings, trivia nights, and, hopefully, a weekly Euchre night…
The plan continues to be an unassuming, laid-back locale that is in no way focused on décor or pretentiousness, but rather on quality beer and a quality hang-out for families and neighbors. “We’re going for homey and comfortable,” he said.
Sounds great. He hopes to open in May.
