Walk

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.

NoHo for Six

Hop Merchants is setting up for a party on October 19th.  They will be celebrating 6 years on Lankershim Boulevard in NoHo.  If you can’t make that day, I strongly suggest making a visit.  I am sure you will find a four-pack to go at least if not a draft beer too.

Ogopogo at 6

I like a small beer festival. I feel like I can actually taste the full rainbow if there is a tight mix of breweries. And Ogopogo Brewing is using their 6th anniversary to throw a little shindig in San Gabriel.

I am especially interested in Craft Coast and Burgeon and what they may be tapping.

Fillmore Hops

Next week, you can get a mini fresh hop festival SoCal style at MacLeod Ales in Van Nuys.

No need to buy tickets, $40 at the door gets you pours from the breweries in the above graphic all made with hops from Eden Forest Collective just a little north of L.A. in Fillmore.

Five Talons

One of my bottle shops stops is Talon Tap & Wine in Eagle Rock. Friendly people, you have a great selection that you can buy single cans of and there is a nice little bar in the back if you want to catch a game.

And this year, they are turning 5! There will be a special day of celebration for it on Saturday, October 5th.
