These are the beers that I wish I could taste for the first time.
Unlike other heritage brands owned by foreign companies, Lagunitas will be back in 2023 with their Born Yesterday fresh hop ale. One of the few larger scale hop to brewery in under 24-hours IPA’s. As another break from the mold, the beer will be in 12oz cans.
One of my most anticipated beers of the year is the anniversary blend from Firestone Walker.
If you are in Los Angeles or Paso Robles, now might be the time to see if their company stores have any lingering 26’s on shelves so you can prepare a taste test.
Offshoot Beer Co. started as more or less the hoppy side of the Bruery but they are low key adding in lagers like Viaje and now a Czech-Style Pilsner with the punny name of Czeched Out…
I hope you have been keeping up with the frenetic pace of One Batch Dispatches from Stone Brewing, cause another one is coming! With two New Zealand hops in tow.
Some beers I never thought would ever come to cans, but then they do. Allagash Brewing is putting their wonderful and strong barrel-aged Curieux in cans this year.
I probably would have stuck with 12oz cans though.
Yes, I agree. An 80 Shilling ale should come from a hand pump at your local. But I would rejoinder that I think it is better to have this particular style of ale out and accessible more.
Which is why I am glad that MacLeod’s has canned their Kings Taxes for the first time.
When my beloved Portland Trailblazers win a second NBA title, I will want to savor it for awhile. So, despite not being a Nuggets fan, I am pro the Run It Back beer from Cerebral Brewing. Love the court logo on their as well.
It is Ales for ALS season and you should be seeing the charity driven beers on shelves and taps by now and if you are in Los Angeles, there is a local option to try from Ogopogo Brewing…
The latest Firestone Walker Propagator beer is one of many in a group effort to celebrate California beer and support the California Craft Brewers Association, which is the non-profit that fights for craft breweries all over the state.
FW has chosen to brew a Hazy Imperial IPA. Look for it now.
Angel City is pushing the Arnold Palmer name to the breaking point with Farmhold Palmer, a barrel-aged sour ale with tea & lemon. I am a sucker for beers with tea so I will have to find this one for summer.
