Vacation in SD, LA and Joshua Tree coming up. From STL. After a long day in JT any Twentynine Palms suggestions for a good beer and a burger? Would prefer not to do a lot of driving. Thanks to this forum I've got my list of craft beer places to visit in SD & LA all set. But what about bottles? Not necessarily specialties or one-offs (although that would be great) but every day offerings by local breweries that I can't get in STL. The stuff you take for granted. Note, I can get most of the basics from AleSmith, Lost Abbey, Almanac, Alpine, Stone, Green Flash and Ballast Point in either MO or IL. Thanks in advance BA'ers
Just a few, fairly easy to come by, if you browse the forum more especially the OC/LA release forum I'm sure you can find something that interests you. Noble - Citra Showers, Mosaic Showers Hangar 24 - Pugachev's Cobra Modern Times - Mega Fortunate Islands, Monsters Park, City of the Sun cans Toolbox - Purple Drink, Citrus Gose, Clingstone (San Diego) Almanac - Dogpatch and Farmer's Reserve Grand Cru (CA Only) El Segundo - Steve Austin Broken Skull IPA Smog City - Coffee Porter & California Love
after JT you should go to Pappy and Harriet's. it's an institution. not an amazing beer selection, but awesome place. best ribs
Highland Park brewery in LA has some bottles t ok go & great house/guest beers on tap. Highly recommend checking out Phantom Carriage if you're down by Smog City. Great beers & unique atmosphere for a brewery
