The Los Angeles Brewsology Beer Fest is back for 2023. It is a good mash-up of beer and museum as you get a festival at the California Science Center.
It will be held on July 8th, with a brewery list over 50 + food trucks and all-inclusive access throughout the museum and exhibits after hours.
Trademark Brewing Long Beach will be turning 4 on June 3rd and will be throwing a little party to commemorate that number.
Check out their website for tickets and more information.
I do not follow hashtags but if they are still a thing, then #TDA13 will probably start trending at midnight as we transition from May 19th to 20th.
The event is the 13th anniversary of Tony’s Darts Away in Burbank where crowds gather to be the first to have a midnight beer, this year brewed by Beachwood Brewing.
Then over the weekend there will be hourly special tappings of fun beers that will get beer geeks frothing.
I haven’t seen a midnight in a bit but I am tempted.
If you hop to it, you can purchase your tickets for Claremont Craft Ales 11th Anniversary shindig which will make for a good day trip outside of most Angelenos normal beer radius.
If your beer trips tend to be blurring into one large IPA, maybe you need to make your next bar visit a little more memorable, maybe tomorrow night at Frogtown Brewery for some Back Room Shakespeare.
HopSaint Brewing Company has some excellent BBQ and equally excellent beer under the stewardship of Brian Brewer. And they will be celebrating their 7th anniversary at the end of the month….
The end of April will mark the observance of the 2nd Anniversary for NoHo’s Lawless Brewing.
June is shaping up as a busy beer month, following the Firestone Walker Invitational on the first weekend of June is the opening salvo for L.A. Beer Week on weekend #2.
LABW23 starts at Shoreline Park in Long Beach, a beautiful spot to sample the independent L.A. beer scene in 2023.
Each spring, beer fans see Pink Boots collaboration beers made (sometimes) with that years special hop blend. You would have have to search them out brewery by brewery. But this year Los Angeles got lucky with the first CollaBrew Festival so youcan taste many of the beers all in one spot.
Held next door to Frogtown Brewery in front of a dance studio, Pink Boots LA brought together many local breweries and one in the works cider maker all together under a sunny, spring sky to show off their beers. There were also sessions all afternoon so that you could hear about women in our brewing industry.
And I had two really fantastic beers amongst the tasters. First was an IPA from 14 Cannons Fuck the Patriarchy that tasted just hopped, it was that fresh. Project Barley had one of the best cold IPA’s in their short history named Ice the Nectaron that was perfectly light with just a touch of hop bitterness.
I hope this festival becomes a yearly event. The San Diego chapter has expressed interest and it could become a bigger festival.
Smog City Brewing will be celebrating their 12th Anniversary (almost a teenager) this month and if past parties are any indication there will be fun beers to be had and cans and bottles to grab for later.
