Monkish Brewing (2021)

Sorry...as someone who has been with Monkish since the day they opened, this hit a soft spot for me. They don't do as many Belgian style ales as they used to. Feminist gets canned occasionally. I think Anomaly has been canned once. They semi-frequently can lagers, but the only Belgian-esque stuff that gets packaged now are their sour beers, which are bottled. Incognito Ghetto Eagle is probably the most frequently packaged

 

Thank you for answering my question. Their IG advertises the brewery as a Belgian Style brewery. So that is a little confusing. Do you think they turned the corner on these styles because of the supply/demand theory?

***EDIT*** Correction. Their IG advertises the brewery as a "Belgian-ish & IPA-ish beers" but I think the latter is more frequent than the former.

 

It is. And, to be fair, their non-Belgian style beers are really good. Once they started making IPAs, they blew up. If you're looking for other breweries in the LA area doing some Belgian style beers, Beachwood Blendery and Homage Brewing are both fantastic

 

Thanks Koger! I will explore what you suggested!!

 

Does anyone have any idea if and when the taproom will open? Also their Anaheim location?

 

My guess is the Torrance taproom isn't reopening until at least June 15th

 

End of summer for Anaheim location. August-October.

 

Monkish (Torrance) is now doing walkup sales in addition to online

 

It'll be a matter of time the tasting room will be open. June 15?

 

that's my guess

 

But when Torrance reopens, will it be the taproom we've all been jampacked into before or the expanded space they were set to introduce before the pandemic hit?

 

I just hope the can drop procedure remains the SAME once Torrance reopens ... nice to order online and cruise down there within a few hours.

 

It’s been ridiculously nice having mixed cases available for days. And mixed cases in general. Really hope they continue with having 3+ beers per case. I don’t need 12/24 cans of the same beer.

Would love the ability to mix and match all the available cans to build a case but I won’t get greedy.

 

ten? really?

 

pretty wild lol. has some other hyped up brewery come up or are people just over haze in general?

 

I think it might be production has gone up? Tap room isn’t open so it all goes in cans.

 

I think JLocoMoco is more correct on the production. I’m sure we’ll see a lot more when the Anaheim location opens.

 

4 different mixed 24 packs available yesterday after the Holiday for shipping, surprised. Variety is nice. Had a few Nelson beers this week.

Went in with a friend since they ship to Norcal.

Shipping seems more then when I ordered a few months back though. Still GLS.

 

Had a few Monkish mixed cases get delivered up to Norcal.

Sticky Traffic was real good. Nelson was upfront, but still that Monkish Galaxy/Citra mix profile as well.

 

Social Growth DDH DIPA. Again, real good, Citra and Riwaka.

 

Monkish and Other Half collab. Tickle Me Tekus DDH IPA with Citra ,Galaxy and Idaho 7.

Shocker, it was good...lol...



Looking forward to trying the 3 others this week.

 

I was a bit disappointed by Tekus. Sticky Traffic is one of the tastiest Monkish beers I've had in awhile.

 

Another good Nelson beer. Spotty Wifi

 

This might be one of the best of the bunch from the ones I have had lately.

Bomb Atomically DIPA. Mosaic, Citra and Galaxy hops, big upfront hit of juice. Some bitter on finish, maybe from the Triple DH, more so then the other beers from last week.

 

A few more good Monkish this weekend.

 

Always reliable.

 

Anyone know what the black and gold represents on this one? LAFC, maybe?

 

Looks like Monkish is opening back up later this week per their latest Instagram post. About time! Can't wait to go get some fresh Monkish on draft!

 

When I picked up the other day it looked like they were building a sit down area in the parking lot.

 

Sure hope they keep the shipping option for us NORCAL folks.

 

I don’t see why not. There bout to open back up. Restaurant’s and bars are open or getting ready to open. Anaheim location will open late summer. Meaning more Monk cans and kegs for all. If it means more $$’s for them, then why not.

 

Swung by today. They were putting together an outdoor seating area with benches and tables and stuff between their building and the front building in the complex

 

Did you get invited to the soft opening on Thursday? I know you are an OG..

 

Funny you should mention that. They keep misspelling my last name, so I didn't. Adriana asked me when I saw her....but they corrected the error

*watching inbox like a hawk*

 

Looks like they have an awesome outdoor patio setup now. Reopening is on Friday!!

 

those parking spots were always a pain in the ass to get out of

 

I can't wait, I just hope they find a way to work in some shade for that outdoor seating. Parking lots soak up and radiate a lot of additional heat.

 

They need to copy Green Cheek over in Costa Mesa and throw some cover over that area.

I parked on Gramercy Pl off Del Amo and walked the short distance there, made my life much easier.
