Replicant at the Arroyo Shell has a new IPA coming out with the not greatly appetizing name of Malformation Hazy IPA. Good to see that they are having luck having un-named breweries work with them on this fun series of beers.
Formed
BiB 2
Weathered Souls Brewing Company have a Black Is Beautiful sequel coming out this summer and it is a Hazy IPA which will benefit the NB2A (National Black Brewers Association) The label mock- up is below. Hopefully we will see lots of breweries jumping on board for this initiative.
Half Hour
30 Minute IPA. Has a bit of a sit-com ring to it but it is the newest sibling in the Dogfish “Minute” family. For their 28th anniversary, a summery session IPA was the choice and maybe it will herald a re-look at the session style.
Park It
Park’s BBQ is having a bit of an L.A. moment. Getting lots of good press for their Korean BBQ. Now they have teamed up with the gastropub Father’s Office for a lager to pair with that food.
Will add to my never diminishing list of places to visit.
Canadian Cold
A new beer from Unibroue? Appears so, as HIPL, a hop flavored lager with citrus-flavored flavors has been promoted on social media. Maybe my Trader Joe’s will carry it.
They also have a Bohemian pilsner on the way….
Sunny Pils
Two words, not one for Pizza Port’s newest release, “Sun Sets is a Pilsner hopped with New Zealand hop varietals of Motueka and Nelson. This NZ-style Pilsner is also brewed with Phantasm, a grape musk from New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc grapes.”
Looking like a hoppy pilsner summer on the way.
Riip’d
No signs of craft collaborations quiet quitting anytime soon and here is another one to look for, that I particularly like the label for because it combines both breweries trademark look….
As for the beer itself, Riip’d Into Existence has your Mosaic T90 and Cryo, Strata CGX, Columbus Cryo, and El Dorado so should be just a touch hoppy.
So Calamansi
When our climate changed sun returns to SoCal, lighter beers will need to be added to the ‘fridge. One will be the Long Beach Beer Labs Rad Dad Calamansi Radler.
A half and half beer and juice popular amongst those who choose to exercise, or those who prefer to watch on TV.
Four Spiders
Tarantula Hill Brewing Co. up in the Thousand Oaks area is turning 4 years old this year and in a bit of a twist of the script are releasing and Anniversary lager which will be coming out June 24th.
If you complain that there are too many IPAs and too few lighter beers, this may be what you need to try.
Trois Années Cuvée
A lot of the letter E and accent marks from Angel City Brewery with their new release, Trois Années Cuvée, which is available in both 500ml bottles and on draft at their DTLA location.
Would be a suitably elegant way to close out L.A. Beer Week.
