LA Beer Week 2015

I'm still slowly going through the stash I have from the release. I'm thankful for this breather today as I was torn between a new release and that bruery tiki mug.

 

I think one of your friends traded me a pour of Kriek for a pour of PnB... If so, thank her again for me!

 

Awesome, will do, she didn't make it to our share back when we had some PnB so that was a good trade for both of you.

 

Pineapple is the best of the 3 variants they sent up for this week. Mango is second best, coffee is pretty subtle.

 

A little late on this, but went to Beachwood for the Cascade tap takeover. Went a little too hard in the paint and had 12 of the 15 offerings. Also had Hop Ninja beforehand and I would love to see it bottled.

 

Smog City takeover at Library Ale House was epic last night. Cuddlebug was on for a few hours before kicking and Infinite Wishes was awesome as always. Looking forward to RotR for SPittin & Cussin

 

Anyone grabbed Lazy Susan yesterday? I wanted to go but traffic said otherwise. Curious to know what will be the release at HPB today, thinking Fun Juice. Sour Night at HPB was an awesome event if not one of the best this week. Had a personal bottle of Cantillon Gueuze and picked up BA GJG and Yard Beer.

 

We'll find out HPB's bottle release in another 30-40 minutes. I enjoy Yard Beer. Not the best of the best, but solid enough for 4 bottles deep. Man, this week has been a hit to the wallet. If any BA GJG is left, I'll jump on another as well as put myself one more deep in the original as I only have about a case of it left.

My hope is for non-cherry ****. That's the only beer release I missed since they only had a limited amount of bottles during the release party of Cherry ****.

 

And it is.




$15 per bottle, 2 per person. All past releases still there but Lazy Susan and BA GJG about to be gone.

 

Big fan of that Lazy Susan, so much funk on the nose when I cracked my first bottle nobody else would even dare share it with me. Good times.

 

Had it at City Tavern in DTLA yesterday. Keg kicked in about 30-40 minutes. It was ok. The initial pour had a nice tropical fruit/pineapple element. If you let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, the fruit basically disappears

 

Awesome thanks for the heads up , I'ma face fuck pineapple sculpin then to get my money's worth
and has anyone seen the list for Najas place this Saturday it looks awesom lots of Victory at sea variants , don't know how to post pictures or else I would

 

Had a slew of great beers on tap @ 38 degrees today w/ @Kramerwtmf. Parabola, Uncle Jacobs Stout, Yum Yum, Propitiation, Rye like and Eagle, Sang Royale, and a slew of others. Asked for Ichabod (Listed on their bottle list) and they couldn't find it, so bartender brought out a bottle Framboise de Amarosa on the house. Very glad I attended & will keep them in mind when I'm in the area.
