Beachwood Brewing & Blendery (2020)

Thanks for the heads up, will hit Tuscany's during my Vegas trip next week. I'm stoked to see a dozen Beachwood offerings currently available at Khoury's in Henderson. Heading there first thing off the plane for provisions, mostly Beachwood IPAs.

 

Pub 365. One of the best beer lists near the strip

 

I picked up a bottle of Draper's Dram and really enjoyed it. It's a manhattan-inspired old ale, bourbon-barrel aged with spices. Very well balanced and if you drink it in the evening you can imagine it's fall! $10.99 for a 12oz bottle.

 

Crowning Star coming out 10/21.

This was a WCIPA they brewed for the Hopadelic Trip that got disrupted by COVID and never saw mass release. Fresh batch, available in four packs at all taprooms and available for CA shipping.

lots of new beers on tap and some new Blendery bottles. Might have to swing in for a pint of the Speed Metal on cask

 

Sounds like a good beer!

 

Missed out on the cask Speed Metal, but regular Speed Metal is fantastic. Grabbed a crowler of it and Denver Jackhammer (one of my favorites)

 

Beachwood has been alluding to something coming in 2021...shall we engage in wild speculation? My favorite theory is they're going to offer some sort of membership program

 

Fingers crossed it's seal beach coming back!!!

 

I would love both of those things, but looks like it's an upcoming beer release...

Really loved Melrose, glad I had an opportunity to pick up in Vegas. Khakis Or Car Keys was OK, as was the LBC, the only WCIPA from Beachwood I merely liked vs. loved. I didn't make it to Tuscany 365, most of the current list consisted of beers I could get at home, but had some good West Coast IPAs at several bars and breweries throughout the valley.

Glad Beachwood again had a Fall drop again in Chicago last week, including 1 week old Amalgamator cans. We did not receive the larger allotment received last year of Blendery bottles and seasonal kegs like Hops over Brixton, likely due to the fact brewery reps traveled here for FOBAB last year, cancelled except for remote judging / awards this year.

I didn't pick up Haze 28 in the current drop, bought more Amalgamator instead, though would consider picking it up if recommended in this thread as an excellent haze vs. a typical haze. Not really a big haze guy, though I do enjoy balanced well crafted haze like M-43.

 

You do the lords work. Albeit not what i hoped for.

 

same. Curious as to what it might be

 

It's an IPA. That's it. Brewed "with utter contempt for 2020." While I can get behind that and will of course be buying some...I was hoping it would be something bigger

 

Surprised its not being released on 11/3 but then again its prob a good idea to avoid that day regardless of outcome.

 

It just came out today. Will be grabbing some for sure

 

Initial thoughts: it's good, but nothing mindblowing. Nice hop flavor. Would like it to be more crisp. I would've preferred another canning run of Simcoast or Double Gator
