Highland Park Brewery is bring a bit of the Bay to their Chinatown location with…
…I have tasted beers from 3 of the 5 and maybe I will be able to tuck in and have half pints from those 2 missing ones.
SF / LA / HPB
Booming 10 – Part 1
Boomtown Brewing has reached double digits which is deserving of a three day blowout, I think. Over my birthday weekend (February 21st to 23rd obviously) there will be all the fun that their DTLA space can handle.
There will be a look-alike contest, DJ’s, so many food trucks and INFMS Hip Hop rounding it out. Plus, of course, plenty of beer as well.
Arrowing Downtown
Arrow Lodge’s DTLA outpost will be celebrating their 2nd anniversary on the 15th with…..
If I had even a tiny whisper of artistic skill, I would try my hand at the label art contest.
2025 is Not Finite
One of the more fun yearly beer events in Los Angeles is Wishes Weekend at Smog City Brewing which returns Friday, February 21st through Sunday, February 23rd.
This year we are being teased with where the name Infinite Wishes’s comes from “and how it’s connected to its “little brother” The Nothing.” As “this year we’ll be rolling out their origin stories and revealing more about the making of these two iconic Smog City beers.”
This is in addition to the original bourbon-barrel aged recipe beer plus variants that cover the ingredient spectrum.
Select # 13
Any anniversary reached is a good milestone. And thankfully, the really cool Select Beer Store will be celebrating their 13th anniversary on March 15th.
R.I.P. – Trustworthy Brewing
Add another casualty to the brewery list as Burbank’s Trustworthy Brewing Co. will arrive at their 8th anniversary and then close up for good at the end of January.
So on Saturday, January 25th, it will be a bittersweet party from 12 PM to 10 PM. Below are the details….

Back in the York Blvd. Days
Highland Park Brewing will be debuting Retro Week starting on January 20th. a week of “bringing back some rad beers we haven’t brewed in a while, limited edition merch from the early days, & food specials we haven’t done in years!”
There have been no leaks as to the beers bar one, Ham Porter is due to make a return.
9 Brews in the Yard
My lucky number is 9 so whenever a brewery reaches that milestone, I consider it a good omen. And Brewyard Beer Co. right here in Glendale has hit that mark before the end of the year and has a multitude of plans for the special day.
I would also consider attending a good omen.
1SM
ISM Brewing is ready for their 1st year anniversary close-up in Long Beach next month and I can bet it will include some fun beer and food treats.
Also Two Days From Now
…is the 10th Anniversary of the Los Angeles IPA Festival. This year held at Brennans on Lincoln Boulevard. There will be 40 breweries bringing the hops. And for a weird pairing, there will be wrestling after.
