BSP blog favorite Smog City Brewing is primed to celebrate their 13th anniversary of brewing beer in Torrance.  There will be a special anniversary beer along with their new ESB made from Infinite Wishes second runnings and maybe even some bottles of Infinite Wishes to buy.

Sip & Stroll

The Los Angeles Zoo is presenting their first Sip & Stroll at the Zoo. on April 13th. The brewery list isn’t large but it does have a good sampling of local favorites plus some distillery action too and as I have said previously, it is a great location to drink at.

Here is the basic info: “It’s a playful parade of specialty cocktails, craft brews, and mocktails and other nonalcoholic delights, all paired with live beats, pop-up animal keeper talks, food trucks, and more! This celebration of beverages, melodies, and wild encounters will be an event to remember.”

Upshift to Sugar Monkey

After five years in a crowded El Segundo beer scene, Upshift Brewing Company will be closing its doors on March 31st.  But that is not the end of the brewing story on Indiana Street.

Sugar Monkey Brewing will be taking over the indoor / outdoor space.  One assumes the racing theme will be changed over in the taproom and that new beers will be made.  

It is very interesting that two El Segundo breweries have closed and then opened again under new management.

Boomtown Day – Tacos and $3.00

In the near future or yesterday, if we want news and journalists out there muckraking then we are going to have to pay for it. Except maybe if you check out L.A. Taco and their new perk for monthly members.

They have teamed with Boomtown Brewery for discounts on beers at the DTLA taproom! You can stay current with what in the f-ing heck is going on in L.A. while also getting a beer. That is a good deal.

High 10

It is high time that Los Angeles craft beer fans get a 10 year brewery!  And that brewery is Highland Park.  The bifurcated Highland Park / Chinatown brewery will have “special High 10 releases” between March 25th – March 31st.

What is so special, you ask?  Well they will “be re-releasing past High anniversary beers each week.”  Leading up to High 10. 

Tomorrow is Infinite

As in the annual Infinite Wishes Day at Smog City.  I am a bit of a purist so I will be sticking with the first beer on the list but #2 piques my interest as well.

1. OG – “as always the pure, unadulterated Infinite Wishes batch”
2. Almond Joyous – “a little coconut, a little chocolate, all delicious”
3. French Vanilla – “smooth, creamy and rich, a classic”
4. Strawberry Dip – “chocolate covered and sinfully sweet berry notes”
