Smog City Appreciation

Lloyd! My Bro!!!!

 

Great job with the Saisons, i always get some of whatever's bottled when i'm there.. I have to chime in as well with the calls to fill blanks/other label growlers. I know we'll be visiting significantly more if i'm leaving with a fresh G fill. It has been your competition many times we're going to a brewery. You'll do what's best for your business obviously in the end. Keep up the good work

 

Me Again! Hi Guys! Thanks for the shout outs for Kumquat Saison. It's a huge win for us and as a passion project, it means that much more.

Wanted to let you know that tomorrow we're releasing the second batch in bottles alongside Hive Five AND long overdue Smog City Belgian glassware. YAY! We're offering them for $6 or $10 for a pour plus keep the glass. Can't figure out how to post photos...sooooo, if you wanna see them go here: https://www.facebook.com/smogcitybr...3636460705585/909921549077069/?type=3&theater

Here's the link for the release. Same as Cuddlebug but not expecting the same turnout...right?!

Best to you all! Thanks for the continued support. It means the world to us.

I was thinking about going anyway since kumquat saison was the beer that actually introduced me to you guys a while ago...and now, that glass convinced me

 

All my convos with Tall Ryan about Smog City tulips has finally paid off!!

 

What a great looking glass!

 

can you convince Beachwood to do some too?

 

Are these gonna sell out early? Or can I come around 6?

 

@ssam, no idea on Kumquat Saison and Hive Five...we do have limited quantities, approx 70 cases of kumquat and 95 of hive five, but we don't have a good grasp on the expected turnout. Sorry, wish I could be a better resource on this one.

As for the glassware, let's just say we bought a shit ton. :-) There's plenty for everyone.

 

Plenty of both still available!

 

Got my bottles earlier today. The drive from Redlands wasn't even so bad. I was pleasantly surprised with Cuddlebug still being on tap. Both beers were great!

 

I heard something about a huge expansion is in the works? @LauriePorter

 

They actually have another space west of the tasting room for barrel aging (and some storage)

 

Picked up my glass the other day; I almost feel like pouring a Goldie so I can take a pic to show it off.

Just don't eat any more sweets that day. Might develop dayabeedus

 

You're right, and since my girl made a lemon berry bar we went with Bourbon O.E.

 

Smog City Long Beach? Did I see Instagram correctly? WOW.

 

You certainly did. Add that to the ballast point that's opening up in Long Beach next year as well and you get Long beach becoming the next beer mecca.

 

Does this mean a 2nd brewery? taproom? Or are they moving?

I would hate to see them leave Torrance. Would make for a longer drive for me.
