    Wurstkuche is good. Sausages and fries are legit. Their beer selection is a very decent. Skews traditional German and Belgian. There is one in Venice too

    If you like German food and German beers you should check out Wirsthaus.

    Already did. Last month. No one showed. Lame AF. But I'll be back. And the 'dilla was good.

    Yup. I work 16 hours on Thursdays. Plus that 5pm thing on work days.

    Ah, I remember my first days in L.A., thinking that zipping across town at rush hour would be no big thing . . .

    Yes, for the foreseeable future. Weekends are family time for many (including me), and it's easier for many of the brewers and owners that I'm hanging with.
    :cry: LA traffic is one of those inevitable inconvenience in life, but it's only a big thing if you make it one. I decided not to as soon as I moved out here. And while it took me an hour to get to Yorkshire Square, it was well worth it. Awesome beers and people!

    Anyway. I don't expect everyone to be able to make it. And I'm going out and exploring either way. It would just be cool to meetup with some of you and have some beers now and then. So I'll keep on posting...

    And thanks to those of you who did make it out last night! I had all the beers (and then some) and was able to walk out alive.

    Cheers!

    Looking forward to having some beers at Smog and Monkish today, and hanging with anyone who shows up! And I'll post info for 9/28 tomorrow.

    Again, I used to think that for my first two years here. It's just . . . well, you'll see.

    Anyway, I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just respectfully suggesting that you'd get a bigger turnout on weekends (or later on weekday evenings), when it's a lot easier to cross town.

    Thursday nights are historically the worst trafficked nights, also. I'm not entirely sure why but I've heard it cited many times before. I wasn't planning on driving down to the South Bay after work today anyway, but what @JayORear says is something to consider. Even if you stick to mid-week nights, once you set up a downtown/east-side throw down I'll be there.

    that's a positive spin on it. if it's no big deal to you sitting in traffic for an hour an a half to 2 hours then yes, this is true. no big deal

    some day we will have real public transportation, but I will probably be living in Hawaii by then

    LA will never have a real public transportation. We are too spread out. That underground car transport thing? Lol. Earthquake country. Speaking of earthquake. It's coming. Yes. The BIG one. Soon. Maybe then LA can start over and build a new public transportation.

    One consolation we have is that Bay Area traffic is now worse, by a long shot. My last two business trips there have been sheer hell, traffic-wise.

    Still talking about the traffic? Whatever. I had a most awesome time at Smog City and Monkish, hanging with their crews, others in the industry, and BAs. We dipped back to Yorkshire to end the night, too.

    Looks like Mumford on 9/28.
