BeerAdvocate ThrowDowns: Los Angeles (September 2017)

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.

 

Are mawashi's required attire for admittance?

 

Damn, that makes me wanna go now, but alas I am currently broke and busy.

If you plan a Highland Park Brewery trek, I shall be there. And you should. Because that 'dilla...

 

Will all these throwdowns be on Thursday's? Maybe a Friday or Saturday will bring more people down.

 

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 . . .

 

....and it get old real quick.

 

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.

 

I've been hearing that my whole life. just like the killer bees. "The killer bees are coming from Africa!"

 

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.
