Your Friendly Trailer

Your Beer Friend which has themed beer packages to buy throughout the year is now debuting their craft beer trailer. A 1955 trailer is now a rolling bar with six taps in it. 

They are now accepting reservations for the trailer for events in Los Angeles and Orange County. 

N/A Day – Frei

You go around the sun enough times and you run into everything. Even a biegarten in Munich that serves only alcohol free beer.

Personally, one spot in an entire large city should not worry German brewers and instead should make them look at their offerings to see what they can do better.

7 to 30

According to the Craft Maltsters Guild Craft Malt Week has bloomed into Craft Malt Month for September of this year.  

Events and collaborations can be found on the official calendar at craftmaltmonth.comso you can find malt forward beers and maybe even learn a little bit about the world of craft malt.

Enegren’s 2024 Fest

Enegren Brewing’s Oktoberfest is on the way and if you are looking for a close facsimile of German fests, then this is a good one because it is not just about one beer, though they do have a Festbier ready.  But you can get pilsners and lagers as well. Mark your calendars for end of September and enjoy.

Fountain of Youth

This Instagram reel HERE shows a lovely outdoor beer garden in Slovenia where you can buy a commemorative glass and get six pours of local beers.  

At first, I wished that there was one of those in my town but then I realized that it must need to be policed and monitored and maintained all the damn time.  Here in the U.S. those beer taps would be targeted and taken apart or, at the least, graffitied to within an inch of their lives.

Maybe I am being too negative and I should visit this one and see for my own eyes.

Enter the Hall

Add a new city to the Hall of Fame locations.  Cooperstown, Springfield and Cleveland and now wherever the future home of the American Craft Beer Hall of Fame.

Led by Board of directors Marty Nachel, Aaron Gore, John Freyer, Matt Simpson and Lisa Morrison plus web and logo designer, Katherine Reyes have announced the launch of the American Craft Beer Hall of Fame.  

All I know is that there better be a bar inside.

In the AgriHood

First, check out this nice piece at San Diego Beer News, right HERE.

OK, now that you are back. A – I have added Fox Point as a top tier destination the next time I head south, because I really dig the whole farm to table thing even though the phrase has lost some of its initial energy but also because the photos really make the place look calm and tranquil.

Gives me Stone World Bistro vibes but a little more earthy.

PDX Summer 2024 – Photos

Since the last Portland post was menus only, I thought that I would finish up with a few pretty pics to make you want to visit…
