Enegren Brewing will be reaching the 14th Anniversary mark on July 19th and they have a special new beer readied for the occasion that has me excited, a M. Hood Helles Bock, a style that is so very rarely seen but one that is right in the wheelhouse for this brewery.
When disaster strikes, as it did in January here in Los Angeles there is always an outpouring of support. And usually that supports dissipates the further you get away from the memory. Which is why it is great and needed for Wild Parrot Brewing in Pasadena to have a six months later fundraiser on Saturday, July 19th to benefit Pasadena Firemens Relief. Get a beer or a Pasadena Beer hat to help out.
I like it when the script gets turned askew and that is why I laughed when I saw thar Feathered Serpent Brewing was celebrating their rookie season. Bet that gets Dodgers fans attention for sure.

Timbo Week is back for 2025. at Highland Park Brewery. There is nothing like sitting on their patio with a plethora of pilsner picks. So prep yourself accordingly. Step one is to bag the Timbo pin. Wearing that will get you a little extra during this week of hoppy pilsner heaven.
