Any anniversary reached is a good milestone. And thankfully, the really cool Select Beer Store will be celebrating their 13th anniversary on March 15th.
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….
“We will have our VIP section from 12-2pm. Tickets will be $39 and will include:
Unlimited drinking for the entire 2 hours
2-4pks of your choosing
Bottle of a sour or barleywine
Logo Pint Glass
Starting at 2pm doors will be open to everyone and we’ve got some exciting things planned including free raffles and discounts on everything!
After the party we will be open every day until Friday the 31st which will be our final day. We’ll be doing special promos from now until our final day so keep checking back to see what each week’s deals will be.”
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.
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.
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.
…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.
Next weekend at around this time, the Glendale Tap will be hosting a 13th Anniversary shindig at their San Fernando Boulevard location.
They have 52 taps and loads of cellar quality bottles so expect quite a few surprises.
The Brew Walk Craft Beer Festival is back for its second year.
It has featured breweries / local favorites that are not the usual suspects such as Norwalk Brew House, La Bodega Brewing Co. from Whittier, Brewjeria Company from Pico Rivera, Cerveza Xteca from San Diego, and Cerveza Cito hailing from Santa Ana.
And 100% of the proceeds from Brew Walk will directly benefit St. Linus School, that money goes to supporting educational programs and resources for the students. Maybe one of whom will become a brewer in the future.
I am Team Cat when it comes to pets ’cause I like their attitude and their presence at breweries and distilleries and Los Angeles Ale Works will be honoring their house cat on Saturday 10/19 for Scrappy’s 7th Birthday, which will see the release of the birthday edition of Scrappalicious Juicy IPA plus other fun activities and maybe, even the guest of honor as well.
Benny Boy Brewing and Cidery is going all Apple Fest in November with all things cider and apples and community. I went last year and seeing the people pressing cider and the smell of cinnamon in the air despite being so close to the 5 Freeway is very cool and a marker for the Los Angeles seasonal year.
