Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
You can’t really see the stars here in L.A.. You have to drive out to a Dark Sky community for that. But if you have the new DIPA from Trademark Brewing, you can be guided even through the haze in the pint glass…
Star Guide has your Idaho Gem, your Strata, and of course, Galaxy hops.
Burbank’s Trustworthy Brewing debuted a new year-round IPA at their latest anniversary party, AlpenGlow…
SoCal has been getting regular Great Notion drops and you can double the Oregon. (and an homage to my mom)
“Whether you’re an Oregon or Washington local or have ever paid a visit, chances are, McMenamins has cast a spell on your heart. To show our love for one of the PNW’s most beloved institutions, we created our magical collab, Ruby Jammin!
We took McMenamin’s best selling Ruby Ale and dressed it up in our favorite Jammy Pants to conjure up a tart ale with bewitching flavors of raspberry, vanilla, and lime.”
Stone Brewing has a One Batch Dispatch for you. Jason Dunn / Stone Pineapple Dunn Upside Down Wee Heavy which is out this very day.
“The recipe comes from Jason Dunn’s winning submission in the 2020 American Homebrewers Association Rally. As the name implies, the beer is inspired by pineapple upside down cake. He wanted to create an in-depth malt profile, so it was decided to use a wee heavy base, boil it for an extended time to bring forth the rich caramel flavors, then incorporate pineapple to help cut through the sweetness of the malts and create a delicious decadent dessert beer.”
Citra and Simcoe, then toss in some lemon peel and you have…
Life giving you lemons to make hoppy better from Claremont Craft Ales.
Mumford Brewing has a new pale American lager out brewed with Heirloom Blue Corn.
Were you expecting it to be blue?
Late January and early February are Triple IPA time. And Long Beach Beer Lab has a TIPA that seems familiar…
Perhaps it is time to do a TIPA taste off.
Offshoot Beer Co. has a new year round offering and it is a hazy pale ale.
Here is the description: “Bursting with juicy, fruity flavor thanks to generous dry hopping with Mosaic, Strata, Citra, and Cashmere, Coast is ultra sessionable any day of the week. 2-row and wheat malts lend a soft, light mouthfeel for this sessionable ale.”
I am a fan of the clever wordplay on a beer label but I truly prefer when it has a second or third layer to it. Hence my enjoyment of…
…Draftwerk from Chapman Crafted. You could just swap the one word out but it is better with the tie design and the beer style choice. Well done to keep pushing the joke.
Dressing from the waist up has been a thing for a couple years now but we will be going back to a time where we dress up and Eagle Rock Brewery has the beer for it…
No matter your idea of fancy, a rye pale ale will pair with it.
