Isn’t that cool? Each town should have a mobile Irish Pub and plentiful taco trucks.
Who says beer scrolling isn’t fun.
Pueblo Two
In a welcome and surprising move, Cerveceria del Pueblo Brewing which is tucked into a tiny side street near Old Town Pasadena will be opening up a satellite location where Eagle Rock Brewery had a satellite spot on North San Fernando Boulevard in Burbank near the Empire Center. Hopefully, they can make a go at it. See the image below for the soft open and address.
Expect a 1st Visit report shortly.
Malibu Two
The former Ladyface Ale Companie space in Agoura Hills is slowly, slowly being turned over to Malibu Brewing Co. It’s been a bit of time but now it looks like early 2026 will be the date.
Benny Cask
Benny Boy Brewing is starting up a Cask Night. With former MacLeod’s brewer Stephen Reeves now on board they are setting up a proper beer engine for their first cask a Scottish Ale, named after the brewer.
So, if you are one of the dwindling number of American cask ale fans then head to Benny Boy on November 7th for a sessionable 4% ale. If the cask kicks quick, there could be more nights.
Griffith 2025
It does, eventually, turn to fall here in Los Angeles and when it does Griffith Weekend at Highland Park Brewery returns on November 21st.
There will be a new batch of Griffith Imperial Stout plus fun variants with Sad Girl Creamery and Trystero Coffee.
1st Visit – Untamed Spirits
Down in the Silver Lake basin in that busy stretch where the world’s tiniest Trader Joe’s parking lot, Untamed Spirits has found a home for their food and drinks as well as enough TVs for all sports but with an emphasis on Women’s professional sports.
It is a neat location perched off the main street at the base of one the rolling hills that dot the city and it is an even split of indoor and outdoor seating. Nothing overly grand but the point is to gather with friends and maybe get a passion fruit margarita like I did and root on your favorite team, or again, if you are me, root for Portland to always Beat L.A.
Drinks wise, it is probably more of an order their specials type of place as the beer list is bang average and you will want to try the fancy ingredient driven cocktails that they offer and then settle in to watch and cheer with more sessionable drinks or N/A options. The food was quite good too and the service on a night when a special party was coming in was still quite attentive.
Scratch & Sniff
If you want to get up close and personal with some of the 2025 hop harvest, then Boomtown Brewery in DTLA has you covered…
7 Ogo’s and 7 Pogo’s
Ogopogo Brewing’s 7th Anniversary is coming up so add it to the schedule. These events are a great way to support our local breweries so attend as many as you can. Besides they make some really cool beers out there in San Gabriel.
Institutional Anniversary
Both locations of Institution Ale Company will be celebrating their 12th anniversary on November 8th.
Rarest in Torrance
Smog City Brewing has never shied away from experimenting and at the end of the month, just before Halloween, they are bringing back Rarest of the Rare. Beers “ranging from pilsners and IPAs to the bells of the RoR ball, bourbon barrel-aged, sour and experimental beers.”
Just a day for tap room / non-distributed bangers.
