To Clarify it was s Stone Distro tap takeover

 

Does anyone know what ever happened with LA Aleworks? Have not heard a thing from them in months.

 

Didn't care for the Pasty

Stopped in the other night on way to Deep Purple concert at Pacific Amphiteather. Had the Iron Curtain and their new Triple Thunder or something like that. (DIPA). Better than my first visit several months ago.
I didn't care for the Patsy the first time I had it. Way too much coconuts for me. Don't care for regular coconuts but don't mind it in my stouts. But they overdo it for my taste. Had their pork sandwich also. Pretty good.

 

Speaking of coconut beers, Smog City's mai tai hoptonic ipa is great. They have it on tap every once in a while.

 

I thought the Patsy was more Hawaiian Tropic than beer.

 

I haven't been to Barley Forge since they first opened, I thought their beers were okay but nothing special. Have they become much better since then?

 

It always tastes like gross articial peanut flavor to me.

 

I've had those issues too. First time I had it at a restaurant I thought it was meh but when I had it straight from the brewery it turned into something great.

 

They were serving soda at the L.A. beer week opening event. So hmm, yeah. I guess they're in the limbo like other kickstarter funded breweries like that L.A. River Brewery.

Breweries make a lot of noise when they start up, but it's very common that they silently go into the night like, for example, Skyscraper brewery.

 

Has anyone tried anything from Boomtown Brewery yet? Looks like they're doing an open house thing tonight at their location in the Arts District: http://laist.com/2015/08/14/boomtown_brewery_arts_district.php.

 

Wow never heard of Skyscraper before, had to look them up.

 

Sure hope they're better than Mumford. With an IPA name like Nose Job, that thing better be dry hopped to hell.

 

I have not but they had a tap take over at Far Bar Wednesday night

 

hm.. having dinner near there today. Will stop by boomtown first!

 

Had Boomtown at the burgers and beer festival. Had a Belgian White ale and a hoppy red. both were solid enough.

 

Yep, they were pouring at the LA Beer Week Fest. The 2 beers I tried were solid.

 

I didn't love the Patsy because of its thin body and even thought, "Man this would be great on nitro." So I guess I need to go try that now.

 

Mumford is better than Angel City, DTLA is in need of quality breweries. High hopes for Boomtown
