California Lagers

I tell myself that I'm a real grown up and totally not an alcoholic because I haven't set up a weekly case delivery of they beer. I literally drank the first one I tried before I realized what was going on. I hadn't chugged a beer like that since I was a degenerate highschooler crashing college parties.

 

A truly outstanding beer. Especially in this extreme heat. I’m going to pick some up tomorrow.

 

Xtreme heat? 70 here in HB.

 

67 here in Pedro

 

Had a couple today. They really need to up their production of this beer and make it more available in cans.

 

Picked some up last week and forgot about it in my fridge. Holy crap this beer is absolutely fantastic! I think I prefer it over Timbo, and I REALLY love Timbo.

 

I went to Highland Park last week and picked up 5 or 6 different four packs of beers. Crosbo was my favorite of the bunch. Like you, Timbo has been a favorite of mine but I think I might like Crosbo even more.

 

Trademark Brewing out of Long Beach has a really excellent Czech Pilsner called Saaz Queen. Rumor has it their head brewer used to brew for Firestone Walker.

 

Saw this at my local shop Bradley’s in Tustin. I’ll give it a try.

 

I was never really impressed with Trademark the few times I visited their brewery. Maybe I need to give em a third chance

 

From what I’ve heard, they brought on a new head brewer this year and she’s been changing up the recipes. Maybe give them a shot later this summer and see if you notice an improvement.

I’ve only had a couple of their beers, but the Saaz Queen was really impressive. The owner of Stateside Crafts recommended it and said that with the previous brewer it was an alright beer, but whatever the new brewer did to the recipe significantly improved it.

 

Good to know. Their space is really nice, so I definitely want to like it. Guess I'll have to go back for science

 

Like Unknown, been twice. Maybe it’s time to revisit. It’s a nice place.

 

Topa Topa Fifty cc Italian Pilsner is simply amazing. Picked up a 4 pack at Costa Mesa Windsor for around $13.99. Very clean and smooth. Yeah buddy.

 

This new Urban Roots Helles Lager was so good, I better post a pic in the Cal Lager thread as well. For when it is Hotter Than Hell outside....

HELL - German Style Helles Lager Bier

 

Picked up the new Burgeon/Highland Park collab called Park Pass hoppy lager. It's fantastic.

 

Eppig Natural Bridge Pilsner cans are also fantastic, having one now.

 

After I saw @atomicpunk5151 post this in the Urban Roots thread, I knew I had to track it down to give it a try...this might be my new favorite Helles Lager! This is absolutely fantastic!
