Double digits is impressive. Doubly so if some of those years were pandemic ones. Bravery Brewing Co. has hit the ten year mark and will have a three day celebration just prior to the 4th of July.
Bravely 10
Brewery Alert – Burning Bridge
Feathered Serpent has jumped from their original location and taking their place is….
Burning Bridge Brewing will take over the space. Headed by Ruben Leon president of the SoCal Cerveceros so it has good pedigree behind it. As usual, follow their social media to learn opening dates.
LABW 13 – BFE 2022
If you are in the northerly section of L.A. County, then you are in luck since you will be having your own mini L.A. brewery festival at Lucky Luke in Santa Clarita, BFE.
And this festival will be marking in Tiki time.
Jubilee
Depending upon your love of royalty there will be a Platinum Jubilee Street Party at Yorkshire Square Brewery.
If you a fan of Liz, Chuck, Camilla and the gang then on June 4th you can celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with live music, beer and food specials, a special wine list, and fun activities happening throughout the day! Free event!
– Special menu including Platinum Pudding – the dessert created by Fortnum and Mason especially for the Queen’s Jubilee.
– Beer specials including 8 cask ales and a Jubilee Ale with cans to go.
LABW13 – Sour Friends
If you are strong of stomach and want to explore the sour side of beer, well the Sour Friends are back on the 18th at Cellador Ales.
Time for Timbo
Mark your calendar, Highland Park Brewery’s Timbo Week 2022 kicks off this year on June 10th with a canned release of Timbo Pils plus more pils-y fun.
Bob Kunz and crew are busy making as much as they can since last year they whipped through the stock in three days. To make it last longer they are brewing up a batch at the teeny tiny original location too. Last time they did that was back in 2018!
Apple & Curds
I am a Benny Boy fanboy and part of that is due to their cider side, if you still haven’t visited or have only tried the beer half, then maybe you check out this…
Milkfarm has partnered with Eagle Rock Brewery in the past, so they understand the ins and outs of cheese and drink pairing.
DAMN – This sold out in a day, so you folks are going to have to DIY it. Hit up your map app of choice and plot the best route between Eagle Rock and Boyle Heights to pick your cheese and cider duos.

May the 14th Be With You
Mark your calendars and ready your lupulin threshold as El Segundo Brewing will be celebrating #11 this year.
They will be bringing back two hoppy offerings from their past, Greetings From El Segundo TIPA and Lost in the Mall. I would guess that more fun beers will be added to the board as the event draws near.
May the 7th Be With You
Calendar time and also a blast from the past. Tony’s Darts Away is a great little spot in Burbank that I have not been to in a long time. Working from home instead of working in Burbank has dropped visits to the neighboring city down.
One of their yearly highlights was a midnight tapping of their Darts Away IPA and then a weekend of hourly special tappings.
Guess what? It’s back…
….and the IPA is from Beachwood! Follow their socials to see what goodies will be on tap and when.
