Athletic Brewing has a beer named (I want to believe after my favorite team) Trailblazer! And, 100% of the profits will be donated to nonprofit organizations championing women in brewing. And, it uses the Pink Boots hop blend!
Blazing
Export
Smog City has canned a beer that was originally released on draft only last year (or was it the year before, dates are blurry)
I was glad that an export lager had been a hit, that is at odds with the the normal. Let’s hope that New Normal has another run.
Waze and Ways
Fieldwork Brewing has a really good design sense. Which is bad, in a way, because now I expect more from them and a new label exceeds even that (with a cool beer name helping as well).
I like the old-timey quality of the map as well as the splashes of green and blue and the stripe of yellow. It is a design that practically forces you to look more closely. A feat many labels cannot achieve. And despite that aged look, we all know from using Google maps what that grid pattern means.
Imagine Dragons
The Enegren Brewing Single Hop pilsner series is on the next iteration….
“Styrian Dragon Hops a rare new hop variety bred at the Slovenian Institute of Hop Research and Brewing in Žalec, also where real dragons are from. These hops give this beautiful pilsner flavors of floral citrus, grapefruit, lemon, berries, rose, and tropical fruit.”
Additional Light
L.A. never really gets cold so a light beer is always good to have on hand and Brouwerij West has one for us to try.
This tiger has its eye on you so don’t get lost in the swirl of the labels colors.
Take A Shining To It
Brewyard Beer, right in my ‘hood of Glendale is bringing more haze, but it it is not to be scared of despite that familiar carpet pattern…
Don’t be a dull boy.
IP Fighters
Count me as not a fan of the name or IP stretching by Bottle Logic but the beer itself sounds very intriguing. I am sure we can all find beers with questionable names that inside the can was terrific.
DIPA Trippy
L.A. can be both a vacation trip or just a plain trip. So get a 4-pack of…
Trippy Town from Common Space Brewery and raise a glass to the vibrancy of this city.
Spell It
Eagle Rock Brewery is at the 12 years old mark this year, and that means time for an anniversary beer.
Here are the early details, “Umihumālua is a tiki-inspired IPA with orange, pineapple, and nutmeg. This punchy beer is sure to transport you to paradise with one sip!”
El Fremonto
Not the most elegant portmanteau but the duo is super strong…
Fremont Brewing meets El Segundo for, you guessed it, an IPA.
