Highland Park Brewery thread

Anyone been in the last few days? Heading over tomorrow for some lunch and beers and noticed there were only like 5 HPB beers on as of today. Was hoping for some more beer on while I was there.

 

what are you going to order for lunch?

 

ALWAYS need the Banh Mi Sliders, but c'mon, is there anything other than the quesadilla to order? (There is, I know, but its really good)

Thinking hanging there and then heading to Verdugo once they open at 3pm, and then Beer belly before ultimately hitting The Wiltern with some friends for Every Time I Die tomorrow.

 

Ugh. That sounds like a blast. I'll be lucky if I get a "Thanks for placating me" beer at Beer Belly from Ms. Fungus after the show.

 

you should take Ms. Fungus for a corn fungus quesadilla in Echo Park

I lived on the Ave my first 7 years in LA, so I'm well versed. The best way to prep for $2 margarita Wednesdays at Barragans, which led to some of the worst hangovers I've ever experienced.

Ah, youth.

 

That's it . . . I'm starting a 'dilla thread.

 

Meanwhile, no one has said a word about Super Cloud . . . haven't open my cans. Not even added to BA yet.

 

Didn't get any, sold out too fast - but the growler of Danbo Pils I filled on Sunday was both fantastic AND a hit with my mostly-wine-drinking friends.

 

It good

 

After LA Gold blew Wednesday night I think there were only 4 HPB beers on. Refresh, Danbo, Turbo and Help Yourself. With Bob's recent vacation they're probably a little low on beer at the moment.

 

Amazing as always. Highland Park always brings their Donut Friend level.

 

https://ibb.co/hT3V25 Left there a few hours ago. Refresh, Fill Pils, Danbo Pils, LA Gold, Turbo Flavor & Help Yourself on draft. Bob was back in the house today, so I'm certain we'll see some new/fresh beer soon.

 

Also forgot to mention the Special is the Flaming Hot Cheeto's Mac & Cheese.

 

Just stopped by n tried it.. Would've wanted more cheetos imo but it was a decent pasta dish. Glad I grabbed the dilla too

 

What's with all the Cheeto restaurant dishes lately?

 

After Taco Bell started using Doritos to make taco shells (which itself followed the proliferation of Frito pies in the late '00s), chefs realized they needed a new low-brow ingredient to incorporate into their slightly higher-brow dishes. The Flamin' Hot Cheeto seemed the laziest - and hence most natural - way to perpetuate the trend.

AHEM...

On an unrelated note, I A/B'd batch 2 and batch 3 of Raised Eyebrows last weekend. It was pretty awesome to taste 'em side by side. B2 appeared clearer, had thinner carbonation, was softer and woodier at least to my palate. B3 was zesty, slightly hazier in appearance, had a more-traditional stone fruit taste, its aroma was more floral/tropical, and it was sharper around the edges.

Next up, A/B/C/etc-ing the various GJG releases.

 

I A/B'd 2 'dillas last night

 

And your assessment???

 

I just A/B/C'd the 'dilla and I think C had the best crunchiness to the tortilla along with the creamiest cheese.


Hahaha, j/k, the one I did have was perfect, though.
